Fiery-Haired Flaming Feminine Firestorms

Lorraine Reilly was the daughter of a New York senator, who becomes the flying flaming female known as Firehawk after obtaining energy-based powers. This occured when a greedy mogul named Henry Hewitt held her hostage and attempted to duplicate the accident that created Firestorm, although in Lorraine's case she received the power to generate immense heat and flight. Her only transmutational power involved her costume.

Danette Reilly was a New York steel mogul's daughter and sister of Rod "Firebrand" Reilly, who adopted the Firebrand alias once energy-based powers were granted to her as well. This occured when she was held hostage by Per Degaton and his supervillian henchmen, and during an incident his lieutenant Wotan struck Danette with a bolt of energy as she fell into a pool of lava within Degaton's artificial volcano. She also gained the power to emit heat and later, flight.

While Ronnie Raymond and Lorraine worked alongside one another, a romance ignited between the two. This occurred when Ronnie as Firestorm and and Lorraine as Firehawk worked side-by-side as costumed crusaders. While there was a brief meeting between Christopher Pike and Danette, as their fiery alter egos Vulcan and Firebrand, they were on opposite ends of the law. Although not having a relationship with Pike as Lorraine had with Raymond, Danette fell in love with another nuclear man named Terry "Cyclotron" Curtis. This relationship disintegrated while Terry delved into his research, and tragically ended soon after they were reacquainted when he adopted the alter of Cyclotron.
