History: In the dense rainforests of the Amazon, a brilliant entomologist named Dr. Antonio Torres was conducting research on a rare species of fire ants known for their unique social structure and resilience. During an intense field study, a freak lightning storm struck his research station, causing a massive explosion that covered him with a concoction of ant pheromones and experimental growth hormones.

Miraculously surviving the blast, Dr. Torres discovered he had gained extraordinary abilities. His strength, agility, and senses were amplified to superhuman levels, akin to the fire ants he studied. He could communicate with and control ants, and his skin developed a tough exoskeleton. Taking on the mantle of “Fire Ant,” he vowed to use his powers to protect the natural world and fight against those who would harm it.

With his Anthill headquarters hidden in plain sight, miniaturized in his garden, Fire Ant serves as a guardian of both human and insect realms, using his powers to thwart ecological threats and bring justice to those who would endanger the planet’s delicate balance.

Dr. Torres was recruited by the League of Heroes and developed a close friendship and brotherly bond with fellow League Member, The Dark Hangman.

When it came time to vote Captain Amazing out of the League of Heroes, Fire Ant was one of his only supporters.
