Honorable Mention: Fire
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/2/5/AAQcMAAADfRd.jpg
The woman who would come in 126th place.

Bea began as a showgirl, stage performer and amateur model on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, but all of this ended up becoming a simple cover for her while she worked with the Brazilian espionage agency. On one of her missions, she was exposed to a pyroplasmic explosion and gained her green fire-based abilities which have since become her trademark. Green flames flying across the sky? That is the Justice Leaguer, Fire. Considered the greatest hero of South America by many, Fire served for years with the JLI before joining the Superbuddies. Along the way, she found a partner and mentee in Talirah Isiset. Together, they worked for Maxwell Lord prior to the deaths of both Tali and Max. In fact, with so many of her allies dying in the wake of her loss at the Battle of Metropolis, Fire has internalized guilt for the complete eradication of the Superbuddies and the League. Nevertheless, Amanda Waller sees great potential in Fire, and Fire has been brought back to her roots - spying and espionage. Waller knows that if someone can just pull her from her funk, Fire might very well be the perfect leader for Wallers worldwide resistance against Darkseid. But only if.

The largest question mark in the campaign right now is Fire's stability. Burdened with incomprehensible guilt, Fire has stated on numerous occasions that she is a survivor, possessing a survivor's guilt. Sue is dead, Ralph is missing. Max is dead. Nate is dead. Tali is dead. Ted and Booster are both missing - and they could be dead. All of Fire's closest comrades have met with a terrible, terrible end. In her mind, the only true connective tissue is Fire herself, and most of the party has seen just what lengths Fire will go to try and salvage even the faintest glimmer of hope.

As it turns out, she'll walk through Hell itself.

For her dearest friend, a sister from another mister, Ice, Fire braved the inferno of the damned, marching from its center to its infamous gates of abandoned hope, all to resurrect a friend who Fire once again undertook the yoke of blame in her death. The missive was simple from Etrigan - play Orpheus to Ice's Eurydice. March out of Hell without ever looking back. Fire and Guy Gardner managed to make it almost to the gate... before both had to check, had to see if their dearly beloved Tora was there.

They both cost Ice a return to life.

In reality, however, it appears that this test was a ruse to allow Ice an escape on behalf of Etrigan - though for what purpose, it remains unclear. Ice still did depart - the test over, Ice's soul was abandoned by the demon custodians monitoring her. After all, the fun had been had. What use was there in playing janitor to the damned when the Lords of Hell weren't watching? So Ice attached herself, unaware, to Fire's very soul. And now the pair share a body. In fact, Tora even has taken control of Fire from time to time; after all, she's a Somnabule, a soul that feeds on the warmth of others, unaware of her monstrous demeanor.

Fire is desperate to resurrect the dead, and there may be a chance. Could the woman whose entire life is founded upon loss, tragedy and guilt, finally redeem herself in her own eyes? Could Fire and Ice be united once more?

Our last honorable mention for now - undrafted and debuting in our campaign in the first half of 2022.
