#15 Molten Man
Publisher: Marvel Comics
First Appearance: The Amazing Spider-Man #28 in 1965
Molten Man debuted as a Spiderman villain, but he later diverted to the path of heroism. Though Stan Lee and Steve Dicko introduced the character as the stepbrother of Liz Allen, Marvel Cinematic Universe has completely ruined the character in Spiderman Far From Home.
Mark Raxton became Molten Man when he faced an accident in the lab of Oscorp Industries. While working on an experiment on a metallic alloy derived from a meteor, his skin accidentally absorbed this. This mishap gave him fire-based powers, and he decided to use them for criminal activities. But Peter Parker stopped and put him in jail. After some time, Molten Man returned to the good path.
Though he received the same treatment as Venom in the comics, he is not so popular. In the recent comics, he has found a cure to treat his abnormal condition.

- Flame Breath
- Heat Generation
- Heat Vision

#14 Firebird
Publisher: Marvel Comics
First Appearance: Incredible Hulk volume 2 #265 in 1981
Firebird is one of the very famous Latina superheroes in Marvel Comics. She was a member of both Avengers and Rangers in the comics.
Bonita Juarez was a spiritual person and a social worker. She was associated with many activities regarding the welfare of society. But due to some disagreements with the other church members, she decided to isolate herself and started living in a desert.
There, something mysterious happened to her as she explained, “the fire dropped from the heavens.” In reality, she was hit by an extraterrestrial fireball, and the radiation from that thing gave Bonita fire-wielding powers. With this great power, she decided to become a superhero and took on the name, Firebird.
As she was a believer in god, Bonita’s superhero name was taken by her from her Native American cultural background as Firebird is a mythical creature of Native American lore. But, instead of generating actual fire, Firebird generates an unknown form of energy that radiates heat around 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
