2. Lady Phoenix - A Million Years
During the dawn of mankind, a cavewoman called Firehair was abandoned by her parents since they saw her red hair as an omen. With no one else to turn to, Firehair was forced to survive by hunting with a pack of wolves for her entire childhood.
But when she became a teenager, everything changed when she developed telekinesis and telepathy. Although she was originally terrified of her powers, she was taken in by other mutants who convinced her that her powers could be used for good. Unfortunately, she was unable to control his powers unintentionally killed her tribe.
Out of shame, she screamed for the gods to put her out of her misery. Hearing her call, the Phoenix Force came to Earth and possessed the girl, turning Firehair into Lady Phoenix, the first Earthly host of the fire goddess.
The dark nature of the Phoenix nearly consumed Firehair completely, compelling her to destroy the world. But after seeing the wolf that raised her from infancy, Firehair was able to quench the Phoenix's dark nature and repurpose its power to protect humanity. Soon after, she joined the world's first superteam, colloquially known as Avengers One Million BC.
