Wildfire
A woman is declared DOA after an alien attack on a cargo space vessel, and her remains are used in a special military project. Doctors revive her and also give her alien abilities, but she has no memory of her former self. She doesn't even know her own name, but the doctors consider their work a success. She has cutting-edge prosthetics that give her advanced motor skills, and she possesses telepathic abilities that lets her communicate with her mind. These alien traits, however, make her an outcast among humans and she can only befriend a para-military psycho goth who has a fascination with sharp objects.
The only tangible evidence to her past is a photograph of a woman and a horse. The photo is only signed 'Mom', but she doesn't remember her mother. She only remembers the horse whose name was Wildfire. She discovers that finding herself is difficult, so she slowly creates a new self. She reasons, if the military plan is to turn her into a new weapon, she will give them more than what they bargained for. She changes her hair color to flaming red; puts on a black leather outfit; snaps a laser pistol to her side and officially changes her name to WILDFIRE. In spite of all this, she still wonders about a voice she hears in her head.
The military then asks her to gain intelligence on the aliens. So, Wildfire decides to go directly to the alien headquarters located in the mouth of a volcano. That's when all hell breaks loose.
