Tabula Rasa


Blackfire was relaxing in the Tower and watched Jaws and Dumbo with the other Titans and the younger X-Men, shooting down Bobby's advances by claiming she had shoes older than him, which was turned around into a joke that she still had her baby shoes. She also called the girl elephants in Dumbo a bad name when Liger said something was coming. When Amazo arrived, Blackfire was scanned by him. Blackfire then fires two Star Bolts at Amazo that he survives easily and fires back. Blackfire's then saved when the League and the other X-Men arrive, and Batman forces Amazo away with Kryptonite after he scans most of the heroes. Blackfire then recovers at the Watchtower. Blackfire then went off to face Amazo when he reappeared and was trapped in a tornado he created until Xavier arrived and revealed that Luthor was using him. Amazo then flew off. When Liger blamed Blackfire for Amazo's vengeful anger, Blackfire takes offense, admitting that it was true but that it was a cheep shot. Blackfire then arrived in time to see Amazo spare Luthor and fly off.

Proteges and the Return of Captain America


Blackfire went with the others to stop Slade and Zod's chronotron detonator. When Starfire sneezed, Blackfire explained to Iceman that her sneeze was why Robin had yelled "Duck". When they discover all the wires are red, Blackfire wishes that Superboy, who ended up separated from them, was there, so that he could use his x-ray vision to tell which wire it was. She was then blasted by a laser when they found out the detonator was fake, but Blackfire didn't worry as everyone was still okay. After Superboy and Liger went missing, Blackfire believed that Slade and Zod might have taken Superboy to kill him. When she found Superboy and Liger worked for Zod now during a confrontation at Powers Technologies, Blackfire remarked how you never know what people are capable of, explaining to Rogue that she called it as she saw it. When Raven and Rogue shouted that Superboy and Liger hadn't snapped, Blackfire countered by asking why they turned traitor then, which got turned around to Blackfire's own criminal past before Robin intervened. During a fight with Superboy and Liger at Wayne Enterprises, Blackfire joined Starfire and Robin in fighting Superboy until she was knocked down. She was then attacked internally by previously planted probes until Superboy and Liger attacked Raven and Rogue. The probes were then removed by Raven, and Blackfire witnessed Zod's imprisonment in the Phantom Zone, Magneto pulling the adamantium out of Liger's bones, and Slade's escape.

Only a Dream


During a mass break-out from Stryker's that involved several supervillains, Blackfire went with Wonder Woman, Starfire, Terra, Jean, Shadowcat, and X-23 to fight Mystique. When Mystique split into various supervillains, Blackfire fought against Carnage. Blackfire asked what Carnage was before he attacked her with his Symbiote Axe. Blackfire countered by using her Star Bolt to destroy it, which caused Carnage pain due to his Symbiotic nature. Seeing his weakness, Blackfire ignites her fists and holds them close to Carnage until he retreats back into Mystique. After all the villains were apprehended, Blackfire returned to the Tower and went to sleep.

In Blackfire's dream, everyone is fawning over a baby Starfire. Recognizing this as an old dream, she decides to see Starfire and find out how much she has grown as a person until she realizes that no one's paying her the slightest attention. Dr. Destiny then arrived and began feeding Blackfire her own resentment towards Starfire for being her parents' favorite. Dr. Destiny then urges Blackfire to kill Starfire, so she'll be the favorite again. Just as she's about to give in, Martian Manhunter, Raven, and Terra convince her not to kill Starfire. Blackfire then blasts Dr. Destiny away. In Starfire's mind, Blackfire stops Starfire from killing herself. Blackfire then helped free Superboy, Cyborg, and Beast Boy from their illusions. Blackfire then regrouped with the League and the X-Men in Flash's and held off Dr. Destiny until Batman defeated Dee.

X-Ray


Escaping prison yet again, Blackfire went to the Titans to ask for help after a girl was robbing banks disguised as her. Only the newest Titan, Superboy, believed her until he used his newly developed x-ray vision to prove that she was innocent. She then confronted the girl who framed her, a girl named Tina, and she was embarrassed when Tina began crying to be let down while still in Blackfire's body. After Tina gave up and was taken to the Kent farm to be taken care of, Blackfire asked to join the Titans, and Starfire agreed and the two hugged, with Starfire being a little overzealous.

Duela


Blackfire proved to have limits to when she was exhausted following a very late night, with only enough strength to correct Starfire's mixing up expressions. She did snap to attention once she learned about a girl named Duela robbing a bank. She later let Duela go in favor of saving the people inside.

Another's Eyes
Starfire later ended up having her soul trapped in a puppet version of herself by Ra's Al Ghul. She was freed by Superboy, in Raven's body, when he destroyed the controller.

Kryptonian Brawl


Blackfire then went to Edge City to help fight Jax-Ur and Mala. After saving Superboy, Blackfire corrects Starfire's slang, which is criticized by Beast Boy and Terra. She then fights the two as best as she can until Raven contains them and Superboy sends them into the Phantom Zone.

Mr. Mxyzptlk Strikes Back


Blackfire later asked why Superboy and Raven looked so glum and learned that they were expecting a visit from a pest. Blackfire then tried to comfort them by telling them about an aunt of Blackfire and Starfire's who'd visit their mother and practically stay and stay until a toddler version of Beast Boy walk past, and she was then turned into a toddler too, and she began toddling around and cooing. She then looked at a funny man who was talking to Superboy and Raven and cooed at him. She was then returned to normal again once Superboy and Raven got rid of the funny man, Mxyzptlk. She then told them about her aunt again before she stopped at the same point and asked why Starfire was sucking her thumb.

Protege


Blackfire went with the others to stop Slade and Zod's chronotron detonator, and when they discover all the wires are red, Blackfire wishes that Superboy, who ended up separated from them, was there, so that he could use his x-ray vision to tell which wire it was. She was then blasted by a laser when they found out the detonator was fake, but Blackfire didn't worry as everyone was still okay.

After Superboy went missing, Blackfire believed that Slade and Zod might have taken Superboy to kill him. When she found Superboy worked for Zod now during a confrontation at Powers Technologies, Blackfire remarked how you never know what people are capable of. When Raven shouted that Superboy hadn't snapped, Blackfire countered by asking why he turned traitor then, which got turned around to Blackfire's own criminal past before Robin intervened.

Fear
Blackfire later assisted in fighting the Daughter of the Scarecrow, Blackfire was trapped in an illusion where she was trapped in the dark. She was freed thanks to encouragement from Cyborg. She then used tough love to break Starfire free of the spider-illusion she was trapped in. She then learned that Daughter of Scarecrow was actually Duela Dent.

Mind of a Hero
After Superboy nearly killed Dr. Light, Blackfire commented on how she had thought Raven was intense.

Superdog
Shortly after Superboy brought a genetically altered dog named Krypto home, he ate Blackfire's favorite pair of boots. She then wanted Krypto gone, even after Superboy promises to buy her a new pair of boots. When fighting a bank-robber in a high-tech suit, Blackfire ended up ensnared. After Krypto defeated the robber, and she was freed, Blackfire was still against letting Krypto stay and tried to keep Cyborg on her side by reminding him of what would happen to the Tower and all the slobber of the T-Car. Blackfire then cracked when Cyborg showed her Krypto's face, and she agreed that he could stay.

Alex
Blackfire later relaxed at the Kent Farm. When Alex Luthor was introduced to the other Titans, Blackfire flirted with Alex, and he flirted back. When Lex Luthor had a robotic Lexo-Suit rob the lab, Blackfire joined Starfire and Cyborg in attacking it, but it wouldn't give. She then attacked again after Robin froze it, it shattered like glass. Blackfire then flirted with Alex again when he became a new Titan.

In Heat
Blackfire later chose to have the team watch a documentary for educational purposes. When Superboy's heat vision developed, and he was uncomfortable thinking about what made his heat vision go off, she teased him like an older sister about him having a crush on someone. She later confronted Exotica, and when she kissed Robin, and Starfire called her a Clorbag Vorblnelk, Blackfire commented that their parents wouldn't have wanted her to use that language. After Exotica's defeat, Blackfire learned from Raven that Krypto pooped in one of her shoes, and it was the ones she was wearing right now.

Toddler Titans
Later, while chasing Ra's Al Ghul, Blackfire was the only one not exposed to a chemical the others were exposed to. The next day, she saw two four-year-olds that claimed to be Superboy and Raven. They then proved their claims when Superboy lifted up the couch, and Raven used her powers to lift Superboy up. This caused Superboy to cry, and Blackfire's maternal instincts kicked in and she comforted him. She was then put in charge of watching the kids while Alex went to secure a loan to start LangCorp. She then told Beast Boy and Raven to stop playing Matador in the Tower while telling Cyborg to put the sofa down, Terra to put a rock down, and for Superboy to put her down. She then learned from Robin that Alex was coming back in half an hour. She later puts the children to bed for a nap and promises to tell them a story. Afterwords, she comments on how they're not bad as kids. She then learns from Alex that it'll take him two days to make an antidote. The next day, she scolds Cyborg for making a kaleidoscope leave a ring around Starfire's eye. She also stops Superboy and Raven from grabbing some cookies, claiming that they weren't ruining their appetites on her watch and makes sure Beast Boy and Terra weren't watching Star Wars. The next day, she asks if they can keep the Titans kids for a little longer, but she's convinced otherwise by Alex. She then lets them turn back to normal after having them give her a hug.

Night on the Town
Soon afterwords, Blackfire and Alex ended up being the only Titans left in the Tower as everyone else had either gone out on a date or simply gone out. Blackfire then talked to Krypto about how she felt that being with the Titans has changed her for the better, and she decided that she wouldn't be alone watching the television that night and asked Alex to hang out with her. When he turned her down, she spun him around and demanded that they go out. She then went to Club Zero with Alex and, while dancing to "Terror Time Again" told Alex about how, when she was captured by the Gordanians, she was saved by Shayera Hol, Hawkgirl. She later ended up slow-dancing with Alex to "I Can Go the Distance". She then commented that Alex was a good dancer and went to bed after Terra and Beast Boy returned home. She then went to bed thinking of Alex.

Teen Tyrants
Blackfire ends up being visited by Etrigan after the the Branding Iron is stolen, and Blackfire ends up split into a good and evil her. After that, he went to fight the evil her while Kitten had the copied Titans, the Teen Tyrants, cause trouble. She ends up blasting her Tyrant Counterpart, and she's eventually knocked down but saved when Robin undoes the spell. She then throws a pillow at Beast Boy when he says that was fun.

Moody Raven
When Blackfire tasted Raven's pancakes, she said that they reminded her of home. When Beast Boy refused to apologize to Raven for calling her pancakes horrible, Blackfire makes Beast Boy apologize to Raven. During a game of truth or dare, Blackfire's dared by Raven to treat Starfire like a two-year-old which she does, including tickling her feet.

Going Home
Blackfire was impressed by Alex's new Lexo-Power Suit 5000. Blackfire then ended up captured by Luthor and held in a cell by energy binders. When she was released, she saw that Slade was working for Luthor along with a new and improved Bizarro. She then saw him use his fire breath to cause Starfire's skirt to catch fire and freeze her with his freeze vision. She was then frozen by Bizarro too when she went to attack him.

Blackfire was later freed by Superboy. Blackfire then questioned Luthor about using his DNA and Lana Lang's sperm to make Alex. Soon afterwords, Blackfire asked if Beast Boy and Terra were alright, but all they could do was ask if Blackfire would tell them the story of the bunny again. Blackfire ignores this. When Luthor prepared a self-destruct system in the lab, Blackfire commented that this sucked. Blackfire then escaped with the others. After that, Blackfire attended Bizarro's funeral.

Father and Son
When Superman arrives, Blackfire was awed. She was also eager to go on a mission with them. On the Star Labs ship to another planet, Blackfire bet that Hungry Howie's was crying for joy due to all the pizzas stocked there. Blackfire then flies around a monster to distract it while the others fight it and get a thorn out of its foot. They then go home with a dog they were given for their help.

Titans Go to Gotham
Blackfire then went with the Titans to Gotham and called the Batcave nice. When she made to touch Mr. Freeze's gun, her hand was grabbed by Batman, and she practically melted in his hands. When Starfire gave Alfred a large hug, Blackfire apologized for Starfire's excess zeal. Blackfire then confronted Croc with the others and kicked him upwards with Starfire.
