Joanna Childs was only 13 when she was exploring her love for fire in her run-down apartment. She was lighting pieces of paper on fire, and her mom caught her. She dropped a lit paper, and instantly the room was ablaze. She barely made it out, but her mother didn't. The cops were going to arrest her, when some thugs that came to admire the fire saw the cops and shot. The police were killed, and Joanna was now homeless and orphaned. The thugs took her in, and she joined the group, helping them commit crimes. 7 years later at a robbery they were confronted by 2 members of the IPS, an alien police force, and they found some medical procedures on the cops' corpses. These procedures would give the patient the power to create and control fire. Joanna quickly volunteered for the procedure, even though it was highly experimental and unused. The procedure worked, however as a side effect it turned her skin and hair a vivid orange. She decided she was destined for greater things, and with her new powers she made her way to Tyrant's lair. She was caught by Tyrant's minions, and was put on the P.E.F.'s roster for her obvious powers. She has assumed the role of the costumed villain Red Ravager, and she is known for a strong hatred for police.
