Spitfire (Lady Jacqueline Falsworth-Crichton) is a fictional character, a superheroine in the Marvel Comics universe, and a former member of the Invaders.

She originally received her powers from a blood transfusion from the original Human Torch. Over the years, these faded, but when she was an old woman, she received another transfusion from him once more which restored both her powers and her youth, and created a psychic link between the two.

Jacqueline married a British nobleman, Lord Crichton, and had a son, Kenneth Crichton, with him. Kenneth was seduced by a vampire cult leader, Baroness Blood, who bore him a son. Kenneth became a vampire as well, and took the name Baron Blood, but his lover turned on him and murdered him. Baroness Blood has become one of Jacqueline's most persistent enemies.

Recently, she joined the New Invaders, but resigned with most of the other members after the Torch's death. She also had a brief relationship with the third Union Jack namely Joey Chapman, but they broke up quickly because of the huge age difference. They still remain good friends and partners though.
