He did so because of the immeasurable strength the Infinity Gauntlet granted him. Just prior to this, Adam Warlock had relinqiushing and subconsciously exiled the supposed "good" and "bad" side of his self from his psyche, whilst he was in possession of the Infinity Gauntlet. It was during this time that The Infinity War had just ended and the ramification had just began to felt by the universe (Earth #616). Witchfire would quickly recover, but her the dark arcane magics in her mind would and grow stronger, exponentially. She would have her had shaved and have multiple surgeries to remedy the damage she sustained. Though the remaining member's of Beta-Flight would succeed in the battle against the Hardliners, Witchfire would require surgery if she were to live. Witchfire was searching alone and was caught off guard by Department H's attackers, The Hardliners, and was severly beaten to an inch of her life. While surveying the building, trying to figure out what had occurred, Witchfire would find out who was behind the attack. Following Beta-Flights battle with the Jackal, the team would return to their base at the Department H headquaters and find that it had just been attacked sustaining heavy damage. Though this would be the first emergence of her dark persona and increased powers it would certainly not be the last. In her final hit, she would hit him with such mental force that she would end up frying his mind and ultimately kill him. Her combined mental and magical attacks were dismantling her opponent, Jackal. She was using her gifts in ways her team-mates or herself had never seen, even frightening them. Completely embracing her dark rage, she would lash out at Jackal. These increased powers granted Witchfire a level of power that dwarfed any she had ever showed before. A darkness, a hate, a rage a slurry of emotions that somehow began to unlock power's that she was never aware of. Driven by guilt and a huge surge of anger apart of her was awakened inside of her. Witchfire, tried as she might, could not maintain herself. She hid her uneasiness well - it wasn't until Manikin, a member of her team, was poisoned in battle with the Jackal, that she ended up revealing her darker nature. Questions about her past (and the nature of her powers) haunted her, despite her best efforts to move on with her life- she had no memories from before the day she was recruited for Gamma Flight. Emerging Darkness!ĭespite her abilities as a hero and a leader, she still felt like she didn't quite fit in. Later, Beta flight would become key players in repelling the SKAR (a war-like alien species) invasion. Upon their return, the group ended up being instrumental in the defeat of The Master's newly formed Omega Flight. These abilities were especially handy when she and some other members of Beta Flight were trapped in Dreamqueen's world, where her skills as a leader allowed herself and her teammates to escape back home. In many missions she assumed the role of leader, and she showed poise and an ability to make good decisions under pressure, her team following her unquestioningly. Surprisingly, Witchfire also showed innate leadership potential. This, combined with Shaman's teachings, seemed to have helped prevent her from remembering her unsettling past. On her own, Witchfire engaged in a meditation-like act called 'communing', to help maintain control over her magical abilities. In addition to all of her combat training, she was also taught by Shaman, who served as her tutor in her magical studies as she possessed rare levels of magical strength and ability, he wanted to make sure she wouldn't be overwhelmed by her powers, as well as ensuring that she learn to use them properly. Mayor Story Arcs The Good Gamma Flight suitĪnanym showed great potential while in training- as a result, she was assigned to a number of different areas, including the Alpha Flight training program, the back-up team Beta Flight and the new Gamma Flight support team (her role in the last would specifically be for supernatural purposes). Witchfire chose to stay with Alpha Flight, to continue with her training. Gamma Flight was later disbanded in a merger with a revived Department H and Alpha Flight. Instead, Alpha and Gamma teamed up to do battle with the powerful sorcerer Llan. Upon Alpha Flight's return, the government ordered Gamma Flight to arrest them, seeing them as uncontrollable and a huge risk. It was eventually revealed that she is the daughter of Belasco, demon sorcerer and ruler of 'Otherplace' (Limbo). Each member wished to keep their past a secret, but Ananym was a blank slate. The Canadian government recruited Ananym (along with Nemesis, Wildchild, Auric & Silver) to form Gamma Flight, in response to Alpha Flight's sudden disappearance from planet Earth.
