Firestar is not okay

In issue #1 of West Coast Avengers Firestar was drinking heavily in a supervillain bar and implied that nobody trusts her after her undercover stint at ORCHIS. She accepted Tony's offer of a spot on the team but doesn't react well to an Ultron touching her shoulder when meeting the team.

Gerry Duggan has her explicitly flash back to being bullied and threatened by Nimrod, specifically after she'd just taken a beating from the Juggernaut to maintain cover. She melts him to slag and Tony says the most unhelpful thing ever - 'calm down.' Not once in the history of the world has this ever made anyone more inclined to calm down.

Well that's suspicious.

I'm not going to pathologise her any more than just saying that it's a very obvious trauma response. The Marvel framework isn't really equipped to handle the aftermath of Angelica's Fall of X heroism. Being in a high stress, traumatic situation over an extended period of time rewires your brain. Constantly suppressing that fight or flight response fucks you up, and your entire support network thinking you're a traitor is about the worst circumstances to recover in. Marvel usually does punching and short wars, though it has portrayed issues you can't just heroically shrug off. I'm thinking Ororo's claustrophobia and Tony/Carol's alcoholism. Cyclops has had a panic attack but I wouldn't say his trauma has received dedicated focus.

I'm really glad that this is being followed up on and treated with the sensitivity it deserves, though it does kinda make the X-Men look like jerks. Firestar has been under the Avengers office for a long time, so I get why it's happening here, but I'd love to see a conversation between her and Scott. Those two spent most of Fall of X being traumatised by ORCHIS so they're really the only people who know what the other went through. Emma Frost would be another good choice, or Jean, who gave her the mission in the first place. The two women are especially suited to providing support, though the spectre of Butter Rum might preclude Emma.

Anyway, I'm rooting for Firestar and the support she hopefully gets. She should be allowed to melt as many robots as she likes.
