History: One of the children born to Dr Peyne's Tyger project, designed to create superhumans. Jenny Ridgeway developed her powers at puberty, and became known as White Heat because of her pyrokinetic abilities. She and Dr Beat became a couple and married, and shortly thereafter they conceived a child, following their discovery that the sterility they had been told was natural to them was in fact being caused by the booster shots of serum they had been told were to maintain their powers. They had handed their son Robert, who would one day be known as Zenith, to Dr Beat's parents, and were out for a drive, when CIA telepaths known as Shadowmen ambushed them. Caught by surprise, White Heat was killed. Dr Peyne later reclaimed her body, keeping her costume and her eyes, and using her genetic material to grow a clone whom he dubbed Blaze.

Comments: The second one born out of the children who became Cloud Nine. White Heat was Dr.Beat's wife and Zenith's mother.
