PhyreFrost
In Reality Z-25 31-H, Madelyn “Maddie” Malone, or PhyreFrost, was one of the superheroes of Angel Falls.
Description
Physical appearance
PhyreForst was a thin, muscular woman in early middle-age. She had blue eyes and mostly reddish-blond hair which she kept in a long pony tail — except for graying bangs over her forehead. Her costume included a yellow leotard adorned with a red-and-blue snowflake alluding to her dual elemental nature, as well as yellow knee-high boots and long, white-and-blue gloves.

Personality
As her mentor, PhyreFrost felt responsible for Ms. Blitzen's safety and was deeply loyal to her. However, she could sometimes be somewhat thoughtless in a crisis, failing to evaluate risks accurately. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 3)
Powers & abilities
PhyreFrost, as her name implied, could manipulate both ice and fire, able to send beams of fire or sharp shards of ice at opponents. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 3) She could also fly. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 2, Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 3)
Biography
Maddie originally got her powers in circumstances which involved some nanites bonding to her body. (PROSE: Angel Falls: Vengeance Sought)
She was contacted by City Hall when Marcus told them where Kate Five was, and transmitted the information to her fellow superhero and mentee Ms. Blitzen, alias Emily. It was then Blitzen who confronted Kate. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 2) Three other members of the Guardians, Coil, SilverStar, Blue Tide and Hailey Storm also considered PhyreFrost their mentor. (PROSE: Angel Falls: Vengeance Sought)
Blitzen was nearly killed by the Symbiote-possessed Kate, who was much stronger than they'd anticipated. PhyreFrost intervened in person just in time to serve a wounded Blitzen's life as Kate prepared to suck out her soul with a deadly kiss, attacking Kate with both fire- and ice-based attacks as her powers implied. She was able to get Blitzen to safety and, after Kate fled, watched over Blitzen in hospital. They were visited by Kate's old Section P teammates as well as a third Guardian, Hailey Storm. When a furious Hailey tried to blame Section P leader Sir James Carey for what had happened to Blitzen, insofar as he hadn't given her enough warning of what she was up against, PhyreFrost defended him, taking the blame instead; she believed Blitzen's ordeal was her fault, as it was her who'd told Blitzen to go to the boardwalk to confront Kate alone. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 3)
Maddie's powers had been damaged by the fight. Neo-Atlantean medic Rhomerho Kel Llurian, with whom she had developed an infatuation on a previous meeting, came to Guardians HQ to check on Blitzen but ended up spending some time on healing PhyreFrost, despite not having previously known anything about how her powers worked. He ended up actually upgrading them, though he warned her that she would need to train under him to learn how to control her new boosted abilities. He then kissed her for the first time, and the two officially started dating, with Rhomerho leaving his duties in Atlantis in favour of becoming the Guardians' full-time physician to facilitate both the training and the budding relationship. After visiting Emily, they spent some time talking in the cafeteria before Maddie retired to her room for a full night's rest. (PROSE: Angel Falls: Vengeance Sought)
After Rhomero, Matthias, Ozarion and Hailey captured Kate, Rhomerho sought Maddie out again; making his way to her house, he found her already about to go to bed, but she agreed to let him sleep over on her couch so that they could talk more in the morning. As he looked out at the stars from her window, he noticed that his Arcane Courtship Brand had activated at long last, a welcome omen for the relationship they had initiated.
