Ivania Ingram used to be a volcanology and geology student on the Rogue Isles. Due to her excellent performance in her courses her university mentor introduced her to a friend of his who was the lead researcher in a new lab project of Aeon Corps that was researching the Igneous and various chemicals to create a new and renewable geothermic power source in case the Power Transfer System in Cap Au Diable would either become inefficient or be sabotaged into blowing up by the Luddites. She was offered an internship in that lab and that lead researcher would become her new mentor while she was there. What neither her university mentor nor she herself knew was, that the secret purpose of the lab was actually to create a new kind of superhuman being that could be mass produced and would be fully obedient and loyal to the one who controlled the collective mind of those beings. The chemicals researched alongside the Igneous were mainly Superadine and the praetorian Fixadine but also a few other potent drugs.

Her new mentor was impressed by her knowledge and performance and sought to utilize her rather naïve and manipulable personality to turn her into an asset he could use to bring that research and its experiments to fruition faster than he originally anticipated. He kept her in the dark about the experiments that included genetic engineering and human subjects though as he didn't want to raise her suspicion too early. Her intellect and knowledge caused a major breakthrough in the research section but using this for the experiments went horribly wrong. To make it worse the secret purpose of the lab had been found out by Longbow and they were raiding the lab the moment the experiments based on her research took a turn for the worse. Several sections of the lab caught fire and she was trapped in one of them while her lab mentor and a few other researchers tried to flee but ended up being arrested by Longbow.

If it wasn't for the Hero that accompanied the Longbow raid she would have burned to a crisp that day, but she survived though her body was severely burned and her lungs intoxicated with smoke of burning chemicals. The hero rescued her and brought her to a private facility to save her – well that was what he had in mind before he got his hands on the research and experimentation files as well as the diary of the lead researcher. The Hero who was actually a Vigilante got infatuated with the idea of creating a perfect and flawless superhuman being with a strong sense of justice but little qualms of doing what was necessary to purge Paragon City and the rest of the world of all villainy. So instead of just rescuing her he conducted the experiments he found on her also using the research that led to them and also hacked a Longbow database to also use the data of the Warden program to make her the perfect tool for bringing justice to the world.

As soon as her body functions and vital signs were stable he was planning to train her not only in using and advancing her powers but also teach her his view on justice and make her adapt his philosophy. Unfortunately Longbow found out about him through SAM-agents of the FBSA that had observed him for quiet some time, because they were suspecting he had become a Vigilante. Upon reaching out to Longbow to apprehend him they learned, that someone had been hacking an important database of Longbow and now that they were asked to apprehend that Vigilant they had a hunch it might have been him who hacked them, since what they found out just didn't fit with Arachnos or another villainous organisation. So they exchanged intel with the FBSA and located the secret facility of the Vigilante where he was "raising" her. They arrested him in the Name of the FBSA, secured their data and took her to a facility to thoroughly examine her. Upon noticing, that she might be too much of a risk for their organisation, but might still be useful if trained, they sent her to one of the facilities of the FBSA - in her case it was S.E.R.A.P.H.. The incident and the conducted experiments of the Vigilante had messed with her brain quiet a bit so she wasn't able to remember who she used to be. While at the facility they had to teach her right from wrong again, since she was pretty confused. They also started to train her, because they saw a great potential for a Heroine in her, but her vital signs and body functions were jeopardized in the process and she nearly died again. The medics and scientists of S.E.R.A.P.H. were able to save her life and found out that the whole experimenting based on incomplete research and mixing up different kinds of research had caused her organs to function very different from regular humans and, that the immense inner heat and her burning lava-like blood, that also circulated through the cracks of her orange stone skin, combined with the superhuman powers she gained due to the experiments, put her at the risk of perishing by this instable mixture.

Again she had to endure several experiments until the medics and researchers found measures that would secure her survival and also stabilize her powers. They also concluded that she was only able to survive, if she vented that inner heat and cooled down the burning blood by using her powers. On that day she was asked if she wanted to become a Heroine for the good of the people of Paragon City. The path of a Heroine would ensure her to legally use her powers against criminals and villains and thus she'd be able to vent her inner heat and cool her burning blood regularly several times a day. Combined with the special diet plan the medics came up with she would be able to survive and keep her body functions and vital signs stable and at the same time be able to advance her powers and do good by using them to fight for justice and peace. She asked to be given some time to think about it and to test out the new diet plan and how she felt with it. Her wish was granted but she had to stay in the facility.

Since her old identity practically died during the lab incident they proposed to her to choose a new one. Since she only remembered her first name and how her friends used to call her "Ivy" she first wanted to go for Ivy Sutton but then remembered how that Vigilante had called her Scarlet. So she chose her new identity to be Scarlet Sutton. Upon deciding to become a Heroine she chose Ivy Ignition as her heroic identity. Since her stone skin with the cracks pulsing with her burning blood didn't allow her to wear a costume the scientists of S.E.R.A.P.H. and a former Icon employee created a few clothes that would endure her powers just fine so the people of Paragon City wouldn't think she was naked – even though the stone skin covered all of her body anyways – even the rather juicy parts of her body. Only her head was spared, but her skin colour changed to a similar orange tone.

After passing the last tests in the facility and after another thorough examination she was released and sent to a neighbourhood that recently got quarantined due to the outbreak of a mysterious drug that caused the addicts to become very violent. It was there where she received her first training as a new Heroine and helped to find a cure for that mutagenic drug. Since her help caused the PPD to be able to mop up the remaining riot of uncured addicts on their own she was sent to Atlas Park to continue her heroic journey and help to reduce the threat the Hellion gang activities were causing throughout the quarter.

After dealing with the Hellions, Arachnos and saving the wife of Mathew Habashy she met Twinshot and joined her supergroup "Shining Stars" to set out on a quest of bringing more justice to Atlas Park and all Paragon with her new allies but in the end the activities of the Shining Stars were put on ice due to a severe incident. She was however allowed to continue her journey of justice on her own and greatly helped in disaggregating the activities of the Skulls Gang in Kings Row by destroying their main source of income – producing and selling Superadine.  A few other achievements throughout the city, mainly in Steel Canyon, The Hollows and Faultline secured not only her survival but also greatly advanced her powers and forged her into a capable Heroine. Eventually she got sent to Talos Island to uncover the mystery of an evil clone of herself causing a lot of chaos and mischief. She was able to ultimately redeem herself by defeating Protean who had been the one creating the evil clone of herself.

Even though all the experiments by the Vigilante messed with her brain she was able to maintain most aspects of her intellect and thus had no issues passing the invention course at the university of Steel Canyon. She is now able to create and invent her own enhancements which help her to not only increase her powers but to also stabilize them and her general condition in combination with her diet plan she is still following to this day.
