Magma

Magma A.K.A Amara Aquilla

Background:
Amara Aquilla is a Brazillian mutant with the ability to become a "living flame" and generating and later controlling lava. She would grow physically ill when seperated from the ground for long periods of time. She joined the X-Men as one of the New Mutants as Magma. She was caring about others, and protective of her friends. She shared a close friendship with Tabitha Smith. Once in a vacation in the tropics, she caused a dormant volcano to once more become active. As most of the others who were on the cruise helped to defend the people of the Island and their town, Amara managed to calm the earthquake and made the lava cool immediately, allowing her to better understand the full extent of her powers.

Powers:
Geokinesis: can psionically control the movement of the tectonic plates within the Earth's crust within limited areas, probably no less than a radius of a few city blocks. Within this area she can create small or large earthquakes by psionically affecting the Earth's crust.  



Pyrokinesis: can create flames and project blasts of heat that do not contain any molten rock. However, she apparently prefers to fire magma blasts rather than simple heat blasts, perhaps because the magma blasts have a solid impact that can knock down a target. The highest level of heat that Magma can generate is not yet known, but it is believed that she can reach at least 850° Fahrenheit or higher.

Magma Control & Manipulation: can psionically cause magma, or molten rock, from far beneath Earth's surface to rise to and break through the surface, forming miniature volcanoes. can also telekinetically project fiery blasts of magma at targets. Apparently she does so by turning nearby rock molten and then telekinetically hurling it at her target.

Magma Form:


When using her powers Magma's body shines with intense light and gives off tremendous heat. Her hair seems ablaze with fiery light. Neither her own heat nor heat from any other known source can burn or otherwise harm Magma. Although Magma has triggered small earth tremors without taking on her glowing form, she has never been seen to use her power to fire lava blasts while in her ordinary human appearance. Magma is not blinded by the light she gives off in her shining form and is immune to the dangerous effects of flame and heat while in it. This ability can also be called geo-thermokinesis. Magma's power to create small or large earthquakes and volcanic eruptions is linked to her emotions. She could unintentionally create major earthquakes and large-scale volcanic activity by losing control of her temper and becoming unusually angry.
