Biography

Origin

Angelica "Angel" Jones

Avengers

When the Avengers reformed, the founding members came to decide on the membership of the new team. In this time, Angelica and Vance both decided to try out to join the superhero team. To prove themselves, they went out to capture the supervillain Whirlwind where they were awarded a place as reserve members by Captain America who intended to train the pair in being better superheroes. (Avengers v3 #4)

The Avengers next had to battle the threat of the Kree Lunatic Legion who wanted revenge for the destruction of their empire. To accomplish that end, they intended to transform Earth into a new Kree homeworld with mankind genetically transformed into a neo-Kree race of duplicates. Information on their activities was leaked to the Avengers who intercepted the aliens with a confrontation occurring on the Blue Area of the Moon. The Kree sacrificed themselves by converting their bodies into energy to power the Omni-Wave Projector that worked in conjunction with the Terrigen Mists and Carol Danvers genetics to transform mankind. To stop their plan, Thor created a portal but needed more power to increase its size to fit the giant Kree machine. Vance suggested that Firestars microwave powers could add to it with Angelica being annoyed at his suggestion due to the strain her powers placed on her body. Despite that, she channelled her power into the portal whilst Astrovik used his own telekinesis to send the giant machine through the dimensional doorway to somewhere else in the universe thus saving the Earth from the Kree's plans. (Avengers v3 #7)
