[edit] Fictional character biography
Equinox is a youth who continually undergoes "thermal transitions" so that part of his body is always aflame and part of his body is covered with ice. Equinox has superhuman strength and can generate both intense heat and extreme cold similarly to the heroes the Human Torch and Iceman (with whom he first battled). He has also come into conflict with a number of other superheroes, including Spider-Man, Yellowjacket, the Wasp, and the Falcon.
Afterwards, Equinox joined Vil-Anon, a twelve-step program dedicated to helping individuals overcome their criminal tendencies.
[edit] Civil War/Initiative
Equinox was revealed alive during the Civil War event and when the registration law was announced, he wanted to leave the country again. He contacted Vienna to make him a new fake identity, but he did not know Vienna was secretly working for the Heroes for Hire, who later apprehended Equinox and several other supervillains.
Equinox is next seen as a member of the Montana team of the Fifty State Initiative, Freedom Force, alongside Challenger, Cloud 9, Think Tank, and Spinner.[1]
