First Appearance: Alpha Flight I#76 (November, 1989)

Powers/Abilities:
She can levitate and/or fly through the air.

She sometimes projects mystic (or illusory?) flames skipping around her body.

Witchfire’s innate senses allow her to detect, identify and locate all forms of mystic energy near her; at quieter moments she can attune these to sense non-mystical forces such as emotions or life energies.

She naturally heals slightly faster than normal. At the height of her power, she can regenerate a severed hand within minutes.

She uses various forms magics, including:

egocentric magic, via tapping into her own innate, spiritual energies, such as her mystic senses, telepathic communication, and levitation.

ecocentric magic, via tapping into the mystic energies of Earth and her local environment, such as projecting mystic bolts, formation of shields, and illusion-casting.
She has been trained by Shaman in sympathetic magic, using objects or actions resembling or symbolically associated with the event or person over which influence is sought.

exocentric magic, via tapping into the extradimensional energies of mystic principalities, such as Agamotto and Hezaba, via verbalized spells (her spells utilized words that resembled Latin words). She was trained in this matter, at least in part, by Shaman.

and, presumably, following her demonic transformation, necromantic magic, drawing from the dead and mystic sacrifice

Among her demonstrated abilities are shields against flame and/or shields to contain a being or energies or even to keep a being or energies separated into component part, as well as shields against physical damage, psychic influence by others, and/or magic; pain-inducers; spells of attunement to cause like to seek like (for example, for falling metal and wood to be drawn to metal and wood, respectively, on the ground (rather than striking a person)); generating Agamotto's light to soothe and comfort (perhaps similar to that from the Eye of Agamotto); and spells to end mind-control.

She has a natural affinity for flame control, physical regeneration, teleportation abilities, matter transformation and the opening of dimensional gates.

She can project mystic blasts from her eyes or blasts from her hands that can cause physical destruction or frying someone's mind.

In her normal form she has two tiny black horns, but she generally hides these either with magic or by wearing her hair over them. When her powers are amplified by accessing her demonic heritage, her horns grow in size, becoming thicker and more red.

While backed by Belasco's power, she could transform (or at least make it appear so via illusion-casting) large physical structures, such as Department H's Toronto base. She could also reshape masonry at will to bind or crush those around her.

When possessing the bloodstone amulets and perhaps if accessing the power of Belasco's domain, she could summon and control various demon-creatures. Additionally, she could slaughter various demons and even overpower a demon such as S'ym.

She wields an unspecified magical sword that can be used against Magik's soulsword without shattering or having its power neutralized. The sword can also be used to severely injure even a powerful sorceress such as Magik and/or a demon as powerful as S'ym (although this may have only been when she controlled Belasco's domain and/or held one or more bloodstone amulets).

She formerly used a mystic staff (pointed on one end with a spherical handle) to focus her spells.

She can retract a fragment of the soul of a being of mystic potential and form that fragment into a bloodstone, which she can place within one of the bloodstone amulets.

She has briefly used the bloodstone amulets, the full power of which she can use to open a portal to allow the Mabdhara (N'Garai masters) into another realm, such as Otherplace/limbo.

Height: 5'2"
Weight: 120 lbs.
Eyes: Often solid white; sometimes yellow/red/glowing with fire
Hair: Red

witchfire-ananym-af76-fullish History:
(Alpha Flight I#80 (fb) - BTS) - Gamma Flight was formed via manipulation from Llan the Sorcerer, who sought a confrontation between the two groups so that he could channel the energy from the violence to unlock the Gateway of Night, a portal to dark and evil realms. witchfire-ananym-af76-landing

(Alpha Flight I#76 (fb) - BTS) - During the months that Alpha Flight had been banished extradimensionally by Llan the Sorcerer, the Canadian government formed a new Gamma Flight.

(All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z#12: Witchfire) - The Canadian government recruited Ananym and named her Witchfire.

(Alpha Flight I#76 (fb) - BTS) - The new Gamma Flight consisted of Witchfire, Auric, Nemesis, Silver, and Wildchild.

    Gamma Flight had intended to include Diamond Lil, but she had vanished alongside Alpha Flight.

(Alpha Flight I#76 (fb) - BTS) - Gamma Flight was ordered to arrest Alpha Flight if they ever found them operating within Canada again.

(Alpha Flight I#76 (fb) - BTS) - After a young girl possessed by Llan caused deaths of dozens of inhabitants of a six block radius in a Montreal suburb, Gamma Flight was summoned to the site.

(Alpha Flight I#76) - After Gamma Flight arrived on the scene and had been debriefed on the situation, Nemesis asked Witchfire if she could sense anything within the affected site, and Witchfire assessed that it felt like black magic...demonic possession: "A person did this. Someone filled with darkness." Sending Silver and Auric ahead to check things out from the air, Nemesis led Witchfire and Wildchild into the site.

(Alpha Flight I#76 - BTS) - Learning from news reports about the Montreal situation, Alpha Flight (Box, Diamond Lil, Sasquatch, Talisman, Vindicator) headed to investigate.

(Alpha Flight I#76) - Within the site, Witchfire sensed that everything was dead around them. She subsequently identified the force controlling the disaster to be behind a nearby house. When Wildchild rushed to confront the perpetrator despite orders to the contrary, Witchfire noted that he was an impossible little beast, but she joined Nemesis in following from above.

    They were shocked to find the Llan-controlled girl, who explained the killing as part of her master's statement. The girl refused to provide further information, noting that her master's message was for another who would be there shortly, and when Nemesis attempted to force her to speak, she summoned an army of her reanimated victims. After Witchfire confirmed the people to be reanimated dead, Gamma Flight fought them,with Witchfire projecting destructive blasts from her staff.

    After Alpha Flight arrived and joined the fight against the reanimated dead, and the girl delivered her message to its intended recipient, Talisman, noting that this was just a trifle compared to his impending plots. Talisman exorcized the demon possessing the girl, after which it threatened to feast on the souls of her and her allies before vanishing.

    After Nemesis noted her order to arrest Alpha Flight for operating in Canada, the little girl collapsed in the arms of Talisman.

(Alpha Flight I#79 (fb) - BTS) - Gamma Flight let Alpha Flight off with a warning. witchfire-ananym-af80-full-tiny

(Alpha Flight I#79 (fb) - BTS) - As part of his plot to generate energies of conflict to open the Gateway of the Night, Llan manipulated a number of American super-villains -- Asp, Nekra, Owl, Scorpion -- to cross the border into Canada under the motivation of escaping the Super-Powers Registration Act.

(Alpha Flight I#79) - After Vindicator engaged Nekra in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Diamond Lil engaged Scorpion at Winnipeg International Airport, Nemesis informed Gamma Flight that they were going to have to arrest the lot of them. Witchfire noted they had been given fair warning and should have listened when they had the chance.

(Alpha Flight I#80) - Witchfire joined the rest of Gamma Flight in traveling to Winnipeg to confront the above combatants who had gathered together. After Box and Sasquatch had arrived to join the fight, Vindicator announced that the Americans were being controlled by an outside force, and Witchfire confirmed this and then worked a spell of interference while Nemesis and the others protected her. After she voiced her spell, "Oma Lorum Salman Admostium," the manipulated villains all collapsed. Witchfire then stood beside Nemesis as she announced that they were taking Alpha Flight in.

(Alpha Flight I#80 - BTS) - Using the accumulated energies of violence, Llan began to open the Gateway of Night.

(Alpha Flight I#84) - After Alpha Flight escaped custody while battling Llan's forces, Nemesis was instructed to bring them in dead or alive, and she shared the order with Gamma Flight.

    Gamma Flight assaulted Alpha Flight (Diamond Lil, Northstar, Sasquatch, Shaman, Vindicator; Aurora was powerless at the time, and Jeffries had left his Box robot outside and was unable to summon it) at Maison Alpha. Witchfire explosively shattered a window through which Gamma entered and, after Diamond Lil punched Nemesis when she ordered their surrender, Witchfire blasted Lil back. While Lil was virtually invulnerable, Witchfire mystically caused her great pain; noting that she did not like torture, she felt that Lil was too dangerous to be out on the streets. Lil eventually overcame the pain and punched Witchfire down. After Alpha had stunned or subdued their enemies, Vindicator tried to convince Nemesis that Alpha was being framed. Ultimately, Talisman discovered that Llan had already opened the Gateway of the Night and she sent a psychic image of this to Maison Alpha, which convinced Witchfire and the rest of Gamma Flight of the true nature of the situation.

(Alpha Flight I#85) - Her mystic senses confirming Llan's evil magic up north, Witchfire -- along with the rest of Gamma Flight -- resolved to join Alpha Flight in traveling to the Eye of the World to aid Talisman against Llan. After Laura Dean, Purple Girl, and Goblyn arrived, Vindicator had Laura open a portal to transport the group, and they joined the Canadian military in battling the Forces of Darkness that had been unleashed through the Gateway of Night. Witchfire's magic initially helped cut a swath through the enemy forces, and she even grappled with some demon-monster-creature. However, as more of the dark forces poured in, Witchfire -- alongside Laura and Purple Girl -- were felled by some sort of anesthetic gas expelled from some creature's mouth.

(Alpha Flight I#85 - BTS) - Talisman sent Aurora and Northstar to get Dr. Strange to help open the Gateway of Day.

(Alpha Flight I#86) - Shaman used enchanted dust from his medicine pouch to revive Witchfire, and he then revived Laura Dean and had her transport the two of them to join the battle against Llan. Projecting energy blasts from her sword/staff, Witchfire helped occupy Llan, preventing him from opposing Talisman's efforts to open the Gateway of Day.

(Alpha Flight I#86 - BTS) - Although Llan had made a spell to prevent any one being from opening that gateway, Strange and Talisman working from opposite sides of the gateway succeeded. The Forces of Light and Darkness neutralized each other, causing both to fade out of Earth's dimension, and Llan was banished as well, but not before cursing the Alphans to suffer horrible deaths before Earth’s ultimate corruption.

(Alpha Flight I#87 - BTS) - Witchfire was absent during a hearing that reinstated Alpha Flight due to communing (with nature).

(Alpha Flight I#87) - After Wild Child had gone on a violent rampage, Witchfire joined her teammates plus Alpha's Vindicator and Purple Girl; Vindicator asked Witchfire where she had been, and Witchfire told her, "Communing. You wouldn't understand it. It's complicated."

    After Witchfire noted that they needed someone who was as much man as animal to find Wild Child, Wolverine showed up with the already defeated Wild Child.

(Alpha Flight I#88) - Witchfire remained silent as Vindicator announced that they would turn Wild Child over to the proper authorities.

(Alpha Flight I#89 (fb) - BTS) - Alongside the rest of Gamma Flight, Witchfire participated in the breakout of Wild Child from an Ottawa prison. They then traveled to a factory in Sault St. Marie.

(Alpha Flight I#89) - Wolverine tracked Wild Child and led Vindicator to the Sault St. Marie factory, where Gamma Flight ambushed them. As Silver and Auric's combined assaults disrupted Vindicator's suit, she got off one blast that nailed Witchfire in the abdomen.

(Alpha Flight I#89) - As Witchfire prepared to blast Vindicator, Heather used her electromagnetic stabilizer to rapidly move behind Witchfire and take her down with an energy blast.

    Witchfire subsequently chose to break from Gamma Flight and join up with Alpha Flight for training under Shaman and Talisman.

    She was present as Heather, now Guardian, revealed the new Alpha Flight plans at a parliament meeting.

(Alpha Flight I#91) - Witchfire and Windshear joined Sasquatch in checking out a new Alpha Flight base being constructed in Toronto. At Sasquatch's query, Witchfire scanned the region and told him that she felt that the land would not reject them and that they would be well-attuned to this location. After a mooring cable snapped on a skid of scrap metal and heavy equipment dropped toward everyone below, Windshear formed a shield to protect himself, Sasquatch, and Witchfire, and Witchfire cast a spell of attunement, causing the falling metal to seek metal and wood to wood. She afterward noted that the incident was rather questionable, and Sasquatch had Kerry Patrick, Alpha Flight's governmental liaison, remain on site to supervise the subsequent construction. witchfire-ananym-af98-gammacostume

(Alpha Flight I#93 (fb) - BTS) - Witchfire adopted a new costume/uniform.

(Alpha Flight I#93 (fb) - BTS) - After Alphans Vindicator (James Hudson), Sasquatch, and Aurora joined Reed and Sue Richards in investigating extreme levels of psychometric encephalographic energies in Tuktoyatuk in the upper Yukon region, they fell under the influence of the source of those energies, Headlok.

    When that group failed to report back, Guardian (Heather Hudson) led Northstar, Shaman, Witchfire, Windshear, the Human Torch and the Thing to investigate.

(Alpha Flight I#93) - Arriving in the region, the group was detected by Headlok.

(Alpha Flight I#94) - As Guardian's group entered the city, Witchfire noted that she sensed no supernatural forces in evidence, although she was picking up some residual mystical resonances from Shaman. Witchfire's group was subsequently attacked by the previous group under Headlok's influence. Witchfire confronted Shaman, noting that Aurora's healing light energies had affected his perceptions, and she asked that he help her help him, allowing the soft touch of Agamotto's light to soothe and comfort him. These energies pained Headlok and drove his mind out of Shaman's, who noted that he was free but that it hurt so very much. Witchfire apologized, telling him that she did not know what else to do, and he asked her to hold him and tell him he could continue to cope with his failures. She replied that the fact that he had dealt with them so far was a testament to his strength.

    At Guardian's command, Witchfire and the others focused their power on Vindicator, forcing the computer part of his mind to takeover and removing Headlok's influence. After Vindicator scrambled Headlok's energies to prevent him from controlling them again, the group confronted and captured Headlok. Witchfire then accompanied the others in Alpha Flight's Omnijet back to their temporary Toronto, Ontario headquarters.

(Alpha Flight I#95) - Alpha Flight was reorganized with three divisions: Alpha for mission operatives; Gamma for support staff; Beta for training. Guardian announced that Witchfire would be both in Beta and in Gamma for supernatural sciences.

(All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z#12: Witchfire) - Shaman tutored Witchfire in other forms of magic; this, combined with the meditative “communing” she regularly engaged in, served to help prevent her unsettling past from resurfacing.

(Alpha Flight I#98) - Witchfire was present -- along with Persuasion, Aurora, Shaman, and Darby and Susan Dean -- at the bedside of the catatonic Laura Dean when everyone was called into active duty against the Consortium. After Aurora and Shaman had departed, however, Laura awakened and -- disoriented by desperation to save Goblyn -- transported herself Persuasion, Witchfire, and Darby and Susan Dean away.

(Alpha Flight I#109/2 (fb) - BTS) - ...to Liveworld...

(Alpha Flight I#109/2 (fb) - BTS) - Witchfire's group reunited with Goblyn but ran afoul of the Dreamqueen.

(Alpha Flight I#109/2) - With the Dreamqueen in pursuit, Witchfire led her group to flee. As Dream Demons attacked, Witchfire advised the others that they were just illusions created by the Dreamqueen, but she also considered that the place had worn them all down and that she was not not certain that her own mental defenses were 100% and that unless you were completely sure they were not real, dream demons could kill.

    Laura opened a dimensional portal into Alpha Flight's Department H base in Toronto, and after Witchfire and the others passed through the portal, Windshear used solid air blasts to push the demons back through the portal, and Laura then closed her portal.

    Windshear chastised the group as amateurs for bringing a demon army into their base, and Witchfire argued that he should not question their abilities and worth while he worked behind a desk; the irate Windshear grounded Witchfire and the others.

witchfire-ananym-af110-civ-illusions

(Alpha Flight I#110 (fb) - BTS) - Witchfire, Persuasion, Laura Dean, and Goblyn convinced Manikin to accompany them for a night out on the town in one of Toronto's "less salubrious" waterfront neighborhood. Unbeknowst to the group, the arrival of the demonic Ska'r was influencing the people into violence (the demons' energies were being used by the Master in a plot to prevent the Magus' control over humanity as part of the "Infinity War" in which he sought the Infinity Gauntlet). Encountering a group of men assaulting a woman, Witchfire and the others came to the woman's defense.

(Alpha Flight I#112 (fb) - BTS) - Witchfire subconsciously shielded herself and her teammates from the Ska'r's influence.

(Alpha Flight I#110) - While plaguing one of the woman's attackers with demonic illusions, Witchfire noted that this was training, removing scum from the streets, honing their powers in the real world, not stuck in some classroom, leaping through hoops for Windshear's amusement. She further commented that it made her enjoy things more knowing that the core team would be upset if they knew the trainees were there without authorization. witchfire-ananym-af115-bfcostume-full

    Soon after they encountered Firebug -- who could combustively explode himself and then reform -- who was maliciously setting buildings and cars on fire. Witchfire sensed a malevolent presence (the Ska'r) influencing Firebug.

(Alpha Flight I#110 - BTS) - Summoned by Talisman after she had been battered by the Master's Omega Flight, Windshear arrived nearby.

(Alpha Flight I#111) - Witchfire formed a mystic sphere to contain Firebug's explosive powers, and she then kept him divided up in different containment fields, preventing him from regenerating.

    However, when Mad Dog dove at her from behind, Windshear grabbed her and pulled her to safety, distracting her and allowing Firebug to reform. Windshear fired a pulse of solid air into Firebug, which magnified the force of his explosion, stunning both Windshear and Witchfire, but also apparently dispersed Firebug sufficiently to prevent him from reforming.

    When Windshear started yelling at Witchfire and the others, Persuasion took mental control of him to force him to help silently.

    As Witchfire used the brief respite to identify that foul, twisted beings were influencing the locals, they were confronted by Omega Flight.

(Alpha Flight I#112) - As the two groups fought, Witchfire used a mystic shield to hold off Sinew and then generated a number of mystic blasts to drive him away. The Master considered Witchfire's unplumbed depths, worrying that if she further interfered with the Ska'r, it might interfere with his plans to use their energies to defy the Magus.

    After Witchfire's group had overwhelmed Omega Flight, she told her allies that they needed to stop the Ska'r in order to end the chaos and madness plaguing the city.

    When the Master absorbed and then discharged Firebug's energies, Witchfire contained them within a mystic shield; the Master noted that she was every bit her father's daughter.

    Windshear subsequently swept the Ska'r through a portal generated by Laura Dean.

    Based on their performance, Witchfire, Goblyn, Manikin, Pathway, Persuasion, and Talisman were upgraded to Beta Flight.

(Alpha Flight I#115 (fb) - BTS) - After receiving a report of a hostage situation at the Houghton Chemical Research Facility in Sudbury, Witchfire practically begged Guardian to let Beta Flight handle it.

(Alpha Flight I#114) - Witchfire and the rest of Beta Flight were sent to the Houghton Chemical Research Facility in Sudbury to deal with the threat of the "Son of the Jackal." She was frustrated when the police Chief Conrad tried to send them away and have Alpha Flight sent instead, at which point Persuasion took control of the chief. Pathway then transported Beta Flight into the facility, and she sent Manikin to investigate, but the "Jackal" smashed through the door and slashed Manikin's prime Whitman Knapp form. witchfire-ananym-af115-bfcostume-face

After Whitman Knapp collapsed, virtually lifeless, Witchfire demanded that the "Jackal" provide the antidote to for the poison. When the "Jackal" threatened to kill a guard, Witchfire accessed previously untapped mystic power and fired a blast that incapacitated the "Jackal." Having felt like she had been reaching the "Jackal," Pathway chastised Witchfire for striking him down. witchfire-ananym-af116commune

(Alpha Flight I#115) - Witchfire contacted Department H, notifying them of the critical situation, but received no response. She checked back on Knapp's condition, but Pathway blamed her for having fried the mind of the Jackal, preventing him from telling them what poisons his claws were tipped with. Agreeing with the blame, Witchfire allowed an EMT to take Knapp for further care while silently cursing whoever was supposed to have been on monitor duty.

At the Bethune Memorial Hospital, as doctors sought to treat Knapp, who was now covered in a cocoon-like structure, Witchfire stood vigil alongside Pathway and Persuasion.

(Alpha Flight I#116) - As Witchfire communed to try to save Knapp, Persuasion's grief cut through her commune, but she considered that while no one blamed her for Whitman's condition, that they should. Regardless, she resolved that she would do anything to save him, even if it cost her her immortal soul...

(Alpha Flight I#116 - BTS) - "In a place far removed from what we understand as reality, cold laughter greeted Witchfire's thoughts.

(Alpha Flight I#119 - BTS / Alpha Flight I#120 (fb) - BTS / All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z#12: Witchfire) - The Hardliners (anti-superhuman activists supporting Canada’s Paranormals Registration Act) invaded the Flight’s Department H headquarters and beat Witchfire severely.

(Alpha Flight I#120 (fb) - BTS) - Despite surgery which required the shaving of her head, she soon recovered.

(Alpha Flight I#120 (fb) - BTS) - Her head bandaged and her right arm in a sling, Witchfire sat silently as Heather noted that Witchfire would survive.

(All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z#12: Witchfire) - however, the dark archaic voices in her head grew stronger...

(Alpha Flight I#122) - Witchfire joined Goblyn, Persuasion, Pathway, and Wyre in a training exercise where the others fought against a demonic version of Witchfire. Guardian interrupted the session, noting that Goblyn and Pathway were supposed to be in school, and Witchfire was supposed to be recovering from...but she never finished the thought, as Witchfire apparently just walked past her.

When the Goddess began to influence others on Earth (the Infinity Crusade) and the Alpha members departed to deal with the situation,

(Alpha Flight I#123 (fb) - BTS) - Belasco revealed Witchfire's true nature and birthright to her.

(Alpha Flight I#122) - Witchfire understood her dark heritage, succumbed to her demonic nature and blasted Wyre out of the building. When Whitman Knapp and Persuasion investigated, Witchfire blasted the latter and threatened the former.

(Alpha Flight I#123 (fb) - BTS) - Witchfire transformed Department H into a demonic form.

(Alpha Flight I#123) - After Guardian, Northstar, and Wildheart returned to their base, Witchfire listened in on Wildheart's thoughts, considering that the Goddess was the personification of everything her father despised and that she would tear the Goddess' bleeding heart out. As the Alphans approached the building, Wildheart could sense the demonic influence, which called to the beast within him. These creatures attacked the Alphans as they entered, threatening to overwhelm them.

witchfire-ananym-af124-demonic-face

    Holding Knapp to the wall with hands mystically extended from the walls, Witchfire told him that her true form had emerged from the pathetic human shell in which she had been hidden and that Persuasion, Feedback (who was not shown anywhere in this arc that I saw, although Knapp noted that he had seen Albert struck down with Kara), Pathway, Goblyn, and Wyre were all dead.

    Additionally, as the Goddess influenced Sasquatch and Talisman, Witchfire influenced them in the opposite direction, against religion.

    As Wyre recovered from his fall, Witchfire confronted Guardian.

(Alpha Flight I#124) - Witchfire trapped Guardian, Northstar, and Wildheart within mystic spheres, and when Whitman tried to reach her human side, she placed a mystic seal over his mouth. She further noted her goal to deliver Earth to her father's masters.

(Alpha Flight I#124 - BTS) - From his castle, presumably in Limbo/Otherplace, Belasco considered that his daughter was everything he could have wished for, and that the murders she would perform would bind her to him, body and soul.

(Alpha Flight I#124) - Transforming into his "apeman" form, Manikin punched Witchfire down, and then Guardian blasted her back and Northstar slammed into her at high speed. However, when Manikin (back in his prime form) argued that they should try to reach her human side, Witchfire blasted the heroes with fiery energies.

.
.
     After Manikin (as "Highbrow") teleported Guardian to safety, Wyre ambushed Witchfire, covering her mouth with his hand and piercing her body with his spikes/tendrils. When he prepared to kill her, however, Guardian ordered him to let her go, and Manikin related all the good she had done and convinced her to let out all of the badness.

     Screaming in agony, Witchfire expelled her dark energies and reverted to her human form (with short hair and in her Beta Flight costume), who kneeled on the ground, lamenting how close she had come to killing them all.

    Puck, Sasquatch, Talisman, and Windshear, the Alphans under the Goddess' sway then appeared and insisted that Witchfire must die for having committed crimes against the Goddess. Windshear stunned her and Manikin with a hard air blast, but Guardians blasted them back, and they resolved to return to the Goddess' side rather than fight this time.

(Alpha Flight I#124 (fb) - BTS) - Witchfire's memories of her demonic self were closed off.

(Alpha Flight I#124 - BTS) - Belasco laughed...and he was first revealed as Witchfire's father.

(Alpha Flight I#130) - Witchfire was present (back in her Beta Flight costume and with short hair) as General Clarke suspended Alpha Flight. After Northstar angrily stormed out, Vindicator told the others that their future was theirs to decide.

(New Mutants III#16 (fb) - BTS) - In Otherplace/limbo, agents of General Ulysses found a skeleton of Magik (Illyana Rasputin), from which they claimed the bloodstone amulet.

(New Mutants III#16 (fb)) - Witchfire led an army of demons to assault the military base and claim the amulet.

(New Mutants III#18 (fb) - BTS) - Some of the demons invaded the hatchery where the mutants were held. The mutants slew the demons, although one of the mutants had his face torn off.

(X-Infernus#1) - With Belasco having been seemingly destroyed by Magik with a bloodstone (circa New X-Men II#41), Witchfire summoned a meeting of Hell-Lords (Blackheart, Dormammu, Hela, Mephisto, Satannish) and informed them that she wished to claim his domain and seat at their table.

    After they questioned both her and Belasco's right to sit with them, she showed them Belasco's bloodgem amulet, containing three bloodstones (which would grant the power of elder gods (the Mabdhara, aka N'Garai masters, as opposed to the warrior caste), and told them that she would use it to take control of the limbo-realm Otherplace.

    She asked them to stay away from Otherplace, and when she had destroyed the Darkchilde (Magik) and taken the throne, she would return and take a seat at their table. Mephisto advised her that if she took back her father's kingdom she MAY have a seat with them and a place in their larger goals.

    Her yes crackling with energy, she replied, "Excellent."

(X-Infernus#2) - Within her home in limbo, a demon minion advised "Lady Witchfire" that the Darkchilde had vanished in the middle of a battle but that she was gone from limbo (as she had traveled to Earth to reclaim the Soulsword). Appreciating that Magik's departure similarly removed her power over limbo, Witchfire donned the bloodstone amulet and prepared to reclaim her lands.

(X-Infernus#2 (fb) - BTS) - Witchfire assaulted the Darkchilde's castle, slaughtering many of her demons and defeating and chaining up S'ym.

(X-Infernus#2) - Witchfire remarked at how "daddy thought I didn't like getting my hands dirty." When S'ym warned Witchfire that the Darkchilde would return, she assured him that she was counting on it, and when he told her that her forces were loyal and would rally to her side, Witchfire impaled S'ym with her glowing sword and countered that the demons were not loyal but fearful and that she simply needed to make them fear her more.

    Seeking the bloodstones to restore her soul, Magik teleported back to her castle. S'ym warned her to get away and informed her of Belasco's daughter just before Witchfire attacked.

(X-Infernus#3) - As they battled, Magik told Witchfire that she had no right to be there, but Witchfire -- as her horns began to grow -- countered that she had every right, while Magik was the one who had no place there. She then advised Magik that all that was Belasco's was now hers, including Magik's soul; as she said this, she fired a fiery blast that knocked the soulsword from Magik's hands, after which she allowed Magik to see that she held the bloodstone amulet.

    Magik demanded Witchfire give her the amulet, but Witchfire told her to come and get it, sidestepped her attack, and then used the amulet blast her with mystic energy and impale her with her (Witchfire's) sword.

    With a pool of blood surrounding the fallen Magik and her soulsword, Witchfire then apparently claimed the bloodstone amulet Magik had held, which contained a bloodstone created from Pixie. Asking why keep the stones divided when true power lied in unity, Witchfire then transferred Pixie's bloodstone into the amulet containing Magik's bloodstones.

    Drawn by sensation the manipulation of her soul fragment, Pixie teleported into Magik's castle, where she glimpsed a demonic version of herself in a mirror before encountering Witchfire and the chained-up Magik. When Pixie rushed to her amulet and found her bloodstone missing, Witchfire grabbed, called her apprentice, reverted her to demon form, and then began to pull another soul fragment from her. witchfire-ananym-xinf4-demonpixiesoul

    When a group of X-Men (Colossus, Mercury, Nightcrawler, Rockslide, Wolverine) teleported in, intending to rescue Pixie and Magik, Witchfire took control of Colossus and Wolverine, forcing the former to attack Rockslide and the latter to attack Mercury. Although Nightcrawler was exhausted from the effort, Magik instructed him to take Pixie's soul dagger and stab her, which he did.

(X-Infernus#4) - Witchfire completed converting the soul fragment drawn from Pixie into a bloodstone. However, before she could add it the amulet, Nightcrawler used the soulsword to slice off Witchfire's hand that held the bloodstone, causing both to drop to the ground.

    Witchfire blasted Nightcrawler away with mystic fire, after which Witchfire reformed her hand and then cracked open the castle and the dimensional barrier, summoning the N'Garai masters to her and shouting, "You are now free! Join me!! The council will have no choice but to bow before us!"

    However, she was then blasted by Magic, whom Pixie had freed. As the other X-Men engaged the N'Garai masters, Magik again battled Witchfire, who unleashed a powerful blast she felt would consume her.

    However, Mercury had taken the form of Magik's armor, protecting her from the blast, and she then extended a spiked limb to impale Witchfire.

    Magik then used her soulsword to restore Pixie back to her non-demonic form, and the two of them used the soulsword and soul dagger to strike the bloodstone amulet simultaneously, dislodging the most recent bloodstone and banishing the N'Garai masters back to their realm.

    As Pixie tried to reach the amulet amidst the resultant vortex, Witchfire recovered it instead, mocking Pixie that that part of Pixie still belonged to her and mocking her as "apprentice." Witchfire apparently escaped (or was pulled through) the castle walls.

(New Mutants III#17 (fb) - BTS) - The "Inferno Babies" forcibly took the bloodstone amulet from Witchfire.

(New Mutants III#17) - Magik sent demons to capture Witchfire, and they brought Witchfire to Magik, bloody and in chains.

After Witchfire confirmed to "shadow-soul" (Magik) that the "humans that walk with demons" (Inferno Babies) had taken the bloodstone amulet, Magik told her that her weakness had upset the order of limbo.

Witchfire countered that it was Magik who had given them passage to their realm.

Witchfire subsequently advised Magik to follow the blood-thumbed road and they would find their home, noting that she told her this freely as it would only lead to her destruction.

Witchfire further added "You have held your sword long enough for me to tell you what you need. There is no reason to hold it any longer." As she departed, Magik instructed her demons, "See that she suffers."

(Fear Itself: The Fearless#8 (fb) - BTS) - As Sin gathered the mystic hammers of the Worthy and allied with the Thule Society, mystic beings gathered to join her cause, including Witchfire.

(Fear Itself: The Fearless#8) - Crossbones showed Daimon Hellstrom some of the beings gathering to Sin's cause, including Witchfire.

(Fear Itself: The Fearless#10) - When Brunnhilde led an army of heroes to Sin's base, Crossbones called in the recruits, including Witchfire, who joined the battle.

As far as I can tell, her name, Ananym, was first revealed in Alpha Flight I#94 when Shaman called her that.

She invoked "Hezaba's eyes" in Alpha Flight I#111.

Witchfire was shown in a photograph in Alpha Flight I#121.

At the end of Alpha Flight Special II#1 (June, 1992), Witchfire is included in a picture of those who were the Legacy of the "The Flight."

Kudos to C.B. Cebulski for pulling a comeback appearance 15 years since Witchfire had been last seen!

demonized Department H building

     After accepting her demonic heritage and power, Witchfire transformed the entire Department H building in Toronto, Ontario into a monstrous/demonic form.

   After she expelled her demonic powers and rejected her demonic nature, the building returned to normal instantly.

     It is unrevealed whether the building was indeed physically transformed completely or if some or all of it was illusory.
