Explanation of the conversion:
History: The third Hellion to be recruited by the White Queen was Manuel Alfonso De la Roach. Codenamed Empath, Manuel had the ability to sense and manipulate the emotions of others. He was first seen in a battle that pitted the New Mutants against the Hellions. It was during this contest that Empath and Magma supposedly fell in love with each other (New Mutants #16-17).
Firestar was emotionally manipulated into falling in love with and serving Empath (X-Men #193).
Magma eventually left the New Mutants and joined the Hellions to be with Empath, and later the couple left the Hellions together and moved to New Roma, a lost Roman city that Magma came from. While there Empath discovered that the entire population city was placed by the Black Queen by mind control. At first Empath reinforced this conditioning, but he later relented and the people, including Magma, regained their original memories. Magma left Nova Roma in search of her real family, and Empath disappeared for parts unknown.
Powers: Manuel De La Rocha is able to sense the emotions of any one or group of individual as well as, trasmit his own emotions upon the individual. He is also capable to overriding the synaptic control of a single individual or a large group of individuals.
