Interview: FlameGirl

In the latest issue of SuperHeroHype Magazine, we sit down with no other than Flame Girl of the newly -formed Meta Justice, one of Metropolis' newer brand of superheroes. In our interview she tell us her views on The Elemental crisis, ridding our streets of the Brainiac presence and the superhero "God Complex".

1. "Newer superheroes" have been getting a reputation of doing more harm that good recently, any opinions?
I haven't seen much, but what I have seen is troubling, indeed. These "newer heroes" don't seem to know which side they're on. It worries me for the future of all heroes. But, as I've said, I haven't seen much of this to date. I have been more focused on the internal administation of Meta Justice.
2. Meta-Justice has gained a reputation as a solid group of traditional heroes, who's to thank for this?
I would have to say that my core members are to thank for the reputation we've gained thus far. This includes my co-leader Superpatriot, and others like SSJ Carlos, JC0N, and plenty of others that I see on a daily basis. They're all on the same page as me and it makes my job as leader a lot easier. I will continue to rely on they're support and help in the future.
3. Is life as a hero everything you thought it would be?
I would say that it has given me a new perspective on the responsibility that is involved.  It isn't as easy as it seems at first glance.  I used to think that the members of the Justice League had things easy.  That is an assumption I won't be making in the future.
4. The murder of several members of the superhero team The Elementals has grabbed Headlines of late, how has it affected you?
It saddened me to hear of these deaths, as every hero deserves justice.  That details have been scarce angers me.  The best we, as heroes, can do is to keep a wary eye out for the culprits and have them locked away.  It has served to make us watch each other's backs, and, as a whole, we have become a tighter knit group.
5. Describe your super abilities.
My main power is fire, obviously, hence the name. I tend to use a lot of self healing powers in conjunction with powers that do quite a bit of damage. So far the powers I use often have proven to be quite effective.
6. What does the ability to bench press a car do to the psyche of a person?
(Laughs). It definitely gives a greater sense of power. The problems usually start when an individual becomes addicted to that extra boost that they get from that feeling.
7. Why have so many of the newer "powered individuals" turned to lives of greed and crime?
This coincides with my previous answer. They begin to feel superior to the rest of the world and they become consumed by their powers. This could happen to anyone. We just need to stay vigilant of ourselves and others around us so we can avoid such a fate.
8. Villains like The Legion of Sin have joined forces to coordinate attacks on several authority HQs recently in the areas you patrol. any response?
All I have to say about this topic is this. LoS can trash talk about Meta Justice all they want. We have substantial evidence showing their true colors. They aren't worth the energy to hate. There are a few members that I actually respect for their skill to wield their own respective powers.
9. How long do you think it will take to rid our cities of the Brainiac menace?
It will not be an easy task. I can tell you that for sure. How long will be determined in time. It isn't something that can be judged at this point in time. I can only hope it isn't too late for this world.
10. In closing, s there anything you'd like to share about yourself and Meta-Justice?
I created Meta Justice with the dream of making the world a safer and better place. My core members share this dream with me and they have given me more support and loyalty than I ever asked of them. I'm lucky to have them around. Without them, who knows where Meta Justice would be, or if it would still exist.
