Debut Era

A Nigerian mutant with the ability to manipulate temperature — generating both extreme heat and cold. Rescued during the Hope Summers era, Idie struggled deeply with viewing her powers as sinful, making her one of the most morally complex young X-Men. She became a key student at the Jean Grey School and later served with the X-Men during the Krakoan era.
