Fictional character biography

Rebecca Carstairs is a famous singer, fashion model, and actress who also happens to be a talented witch. She recently became a partner in the San Francisco based corporate superhero team known as the Power Company, in order to raise her Q rating.

During the run of The Power Company, Witchfire discovered that she was not in fact the real Rebecca Carstairs, but actually a homunculus based on Carstairs. This revelation left her highly curious about the nature of her own existence, and she attempted to contact Zatanna and Madame Xanadu for information on her actual origin [ [http://www.mykey3000.com/cosmicteams/cosmic/powercompany.html Power Company Chronology ] ] . By the series' end, this plot thread had yet to be resolved.
