Beatriz Bonilla DaCosta started as an amateur model on the beaches of Rio, then became a showgirl and stage performer before finding herself serving as a top secret agent for the Brazilian government's SNI (Serviço Nacional de Informações - National Information Service), actually Abin (Agência Brasileira de Inteligência - Brazilian Intelligence Agency). In the course of one of her missions, Beatriz was trapped in a pyroplasmic explosion that endowed her with the unusual power of being able to exhale an eight-inch burst of fire. She assumed the identity of the Green Fury, and then soon changed it again to Green Flame. She joined the international superhero team the Global Guardians, of which she was a long-standing, loyal member. Shortly after changing her name to Green Flame, the Guardians' United Nations funding was withdrawn in the wake of the formation the Justice League International. Beatriz convinced her teammate and best friend Icemaiden into joining her to apply for Justice League International membership. Remarkably, in the wake of Black Canary's resignation and the abduction of several members, the short-handed JLI took them on. Eventually, she once again changed her heroic name, this time to Fire in affinity with Icemaiden's shortening of her name to simply Ice. As a result of the "gene bomb" detonated by the alien Dominators, Fire's powers were dramatically increased, but were less reliable for a time. Beatriz remained with the Justice League International for the remainder of its existence — in fact she served the longest tenure of any JLI member. After Ice's tragic death, Fire tried to retire from being a superhero and establish a career as an internet glamor girl when Maxwell Lord talked her and several other former JLI members into reforming as a group of "heroes for the common man" called the "Super Buddies". She found herself sharing an apartment with Mary Marvel and, in a characterization reminiscent of her relationship with Ice, became a reluctant "babysitter" for the naive teenager. She then returned to her espionage roots as a member of Checkmate and was blackmailed by Amanda Waller into performing covert assassinations. After Ice's resurrection, as part of the New 52 reboot, both women were once again members of the JLI, but were injured by a terrorist bombing at the Hall of Justice. No more has been heard from either in current continuity, but they have been seen in the distant future as part of a Justice League 3001 storyline.
