She goes on to have adventures with a team consisting of her five prodigy engineering students. Less awesome in execution then the premise makes it sound. The title changed marks when the Troubleshooters dissolved. One was killed in battle, one permanently crippled, and the other three went into retirement. Under both formats the title lasted for 13 issues, from October, 1986 to October, 1987. Spitfire continued appearing in other books as a member of an ensemble cast. But was eventually mutated to a [[Chrome Champion]].
* ''Star Brand'' - Kenneth Connell, a mechanic from [[Pittsburgh]], is given vast cosmic powers by the titular [[Artifact of Doom]]. He initially attempts to use them as a genuine superhero, but that doesn't work in this kind of world. He eventually decides to [[I Just Want to Be Normal|get rid of his powers]] and lead a normal life. However, his attempt to do so results in the aforementioned destruction of [[Pittsburgh]]. It's later revealed that due to a [[Stable Time Loop]], the White Event was caused by Connell's older self making an earlier attempt to get rid of the Star Brand. storylines eventually explored other wielders of the Star Brand. the series lasted for 19 issues, from October, 1986 to May, 1989.
