History
Hell's Belles is comprised of female mutant terrorists. They were formed by Cyber to commit acts of extortion, and worked for a notorious drug cartel. Shrew eventually quit the team and agreed to testify against the cartel for immunity. The Belles, upon discovering their former teammate's betrayal, sought to kill Shrew. The government then placed Shrew under the protection of X-Factor. The Belles ambushed X-Factor in a hotel, and in the ensuing battle, Briquette knocked Strong Guy through the ground into the basement, where she then proceeded to force the boiler to explode. Both X-Factor and Hell's Belles fled, but met up again, at which point X-Factor overpowered the Belles and took them into custody.[1]
After Decimation, Flambé, Tremolo, and Vague were all depowered.[2] Briquette is the only member of the Hell's Belles who retained her mutant powers.[3]
The Hell's Belles resurfaced several years later. Despite having lost their powers, Flambé, Tremolo, and Vague operated as career criminals equipped with various weaponry. A group of young mutants found the Belles robbing a bank and managed to defeat the trio, leaving them tied up for the police.[4]
While imprisoned, Vague used her phone call to contact Briquette for help. Briquette broke the depowered Belles out of prison and battled the Children of the Atom. The Belles were about to defeat the teens when Storm appeared and offered Flambé, Tremolo, and Vague a spot on Krakoa with Briquette.[5]See Also
