OK, if we can Ask about random Brazil-related things, thoughts on Fire and/or Flare?

You mean this character? Because I only discovered she existed now, having to look it up. I gotta tell, I've looked very, very far and wide in trying to find as many Brazilian superheroes as I could, and never once did I ever see this character listed anywhere.

I took a look at some of the comics but none of it interested me, it just seems like fairly standard superhero stuff that's mostly just a thinly-veiled excuse for cheesecake and/or erotica, and that stuff's really not my thing. And apparently the only thing that even kinda makes her South American is that she was "born" in the Amazon from a Nazi experiment, and one character even says she speaks with a German accent.

And wow holy shit ANOTHER instance of the "mad science in the Amazon" cliche in comics after I just talked about a Batman storyline that had that, man gringos really need some new material.

I mean maybe I should look up more of her bio-

After being raised to the peak of her ability and schooled in all the sciences and many languages, Teresa was artificially aged from a 14-year old-girl into a full-grown woman.

I fucking hate comics.
