“Amara Aquilla is a woman caught between two worlds – one ancient, one modern. Raised in Nova Roma, a hidden colony modelled after the Roman Republic, she was taught to embrace tradition, duty, and the rigid structures of her homeland. Yet, fate had other plans. When she discovered her mutant abilities – the power to manipulate magma and transform into a being of living fire – her life was forever altered.

Her introduction to the New Mutants was not by choice. She was captured, disguised as a native, and thrown into a conflict she did not understand. But once her powers manifested, there was no turning back. She became Magma, a force of nature, wielding the earth’s fury with precision and strength. Though she struggled to adapt to life outside Nova Roma, she proved herself a capable warrior, standing alongside her teammates in battles that tested her resolve.

Amara’s journey has been one of constant transformation. She has walked many paths – joining the Hellions, returning to Nova Roma, and later reuniting with the X-Men. At times, she has been distant, reluctant to embrace the mutant cause fully. Her loyalty to her heritage has often conflicted with her place among her peers, leaving her in a state of perpetual uncertainty.

Yet, despite her struggles, Amara remains a formidable presence. Her power is immense, her will unyielding. She is not defined by any single allegiance, but rather by the choices she makes in each moment. Whether she stands with the X-Men or walks her own path, she carries the fire of her ancestors within her – a fire that will never be extinguished.”
