Powers: Wildfire was composed of anti-energy, and the constant nuclear reactions between his anti-energy and positive matter gave him an inexhaustible amount of power. Wildfire's energy could fly, disintegrate most physical objects, and counter energy attacks. Wildfire needed a containment suit to keep his powers in check and his physical form stable.

History: (Legion #1-3) - Wildfire and the Legion returned to Earth after a year's absence, finding the planet repaired, R.J. Brande replaced by President McCauly, and the Legion replaced by the Oversight Watch. Rebels from Corvan IV attacked the U.P. building and held the delegates hostage, demanding the U.P. aid their troubled planet. The Legion saved the U.P. Mr. Verge sent the Legion to the Science Police Research Facility for a debriefing, but it was a trap and the Legion's ship exploded. Brainiac shielded the team with a forcefield, but they crashed in Metropolis' subsurface levels and were attacked by the Oversight Watch, who were under orders from Verge and President Leland to kill them. After two inconclusive battles, the Legion fled to the Metropolis reactor, where they found many corpses, including that of the real Leland McCauly. Triad picked them up in the Bouncing Boy. A year ago the Legionnaires that remained on Earth knew the U.P. had been corrupted, so Brande constructed Legion World, a planet hq for the Legion. With the team reunited they'd continue work on the World. Wildfire, Invisible Kid, Saturn Girl and Ayla Ranzz traveled to the remains of Progenitor's Rosette to see if they could find Livewire's body. They saw a flash of lightning.
