Sun Girl (Selah Burke)[src]

History

Selah Burke was infected with the Carrion Virus after coming into contact with William Allen. She suffered from the virus until she met Spider-Man. After a brief battle with him, Spider-Man healed her of the virus.[1]

After her encounter with Spider-Man, she decided to take up her own super-powered identity as Sun Girl. She went after the Wrecking Crew, who were robbing a major company but she lost due to her inexperience. Right when the battle was going to be over, Spider-Man and his new team interrupted. Now with the advantage they fought until the Wrecking Crew fled and Sun Girl was unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself in Spider-Man's lair and he questioned her about identity and origin.[2]

After she worked with Spider-Man and his Superior Six, they found the villain Lightmaster. He planned to use a device to create giant spheres of chaos using his light based powers. He teamed with the Masters of Evil to cause a distraction for Spider-Man and his friends. During the fight, Selah realized she got her suit which is the source of her powers from her dad, Lightmaster. Selah was now torn between siding with her idol Spider-Man, or her father. In the end, she chose Spider-Man and dealt the finishing blow to Lightmaster's plan. She used her light based powers to destroy his device and, by doing so, created much chaos. The chaos was short lived, but was very impactful. Not only was Selah rendered unconscious, but Spider-Man lost control of his team and they retaliated on him for his unethical use of mind control to get what he wanted.[3] When she awoke, she became aware of what had happened and went off to find Spider-Man and help him maintain the situation. However, she had a whole new perspective on his personality. They were eventually able to stop them, all thanks to Selah.[4]
