History

Barbara McDevitt was the personal bodyguard of Jason Quantrell, the director of Cortex Inc.

Barbara McDevitt (Earth-616) from Mighty Avengers Vol 2 4

After the fall of Atillan, McDevitt was discovered to be an Inhuman descendant, whose powers were activated after she suffered Terrigenesis and remained in a cocoon for weeks.[1]

McDevitt was sent to steal technology from Attilan after it crashed, but she was discovered and arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D..[2]

Keeping her mouth shut about her employers, McDevitt was sent to Ryker's, where she was secretly visited by Quantrell who exposed her to what he called an upgrade, a "kind of Secondary Terrigenesis", trapping her into some sort of red cocoon.[3]

A transformed McDevitt, now called Quickfire, was later used by Quantrell to murder Gideon Mace.[4]
