Masks Are Fashion, Masks Are Heroic - Fire

This is the 27th entry that I've posted in the series featuring "red carpet" takes on superheroes in costume with masks to promote the pro-social & pro-health practice of mask wearing during a pandemic. Although statistically not common, it is still possible to transmit and receive the COVID-19 virus even after being fully vaccinated. Masks greatly help to prevent this spread. This entry is also one of the final six "deluxe" entries to this series.

The character of Fire is the most well-known adult hero from Brazil in the DC Universe. (I said adult, sorry Yara Flor, Wonder Girl!) Beatriz Da Costa originally debuted in the year 1979 in Superfriends issue #25 as "Green Fury." In the Post-Crisis continuity, she was a model, showgirl, and performer who ended up becoming an agent for a Brazilian intelligence agency. She changed her name to Green Flame and became a member of a superhero group called the Global Guardians, which didn't last long. She convinced her friend, Icemaiden, to shorten her name to Ice, while she went by Fire, and the two ended up becoming members of the Justice League International. Fire and Ice were Justice League members for years on the team with Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, when the Justice League title was a hilarious character-based read. Fire always looked out for her more naive friend, Ice, and grieved her death when Ice was killed. Fortunately, in comics books, people come back from the dead, and eventually Fire & Ice were reunited and periodically get to pal around in humorous adventures with other heroes from their JLI days. Fire has flight powers, the ability to shoot green flame, and can even become a being of green flame.

This look takes it's inspiration from Adam Hughes' depiction of Fire from the Justice League International days, which is her most iconic (and best designed) look.

Thank you for taking the time to experience this piece.
