Victims of Galactus during Nova's time as his herald included Tarnax IV, the throne-world of the Skrulls. Because she guided death to billions of people, and possibly because of her chaotic upbringing, she became inured to the suffering of others. Her only duty was to find new worlds for Galactus to consume. Raye received the Power Cosmic and became Nova. Galactus agreed to the proposal because it allowed him to keep his oath and he was in need of a new herald. Nevertheless, Raye did not change her mind as she believed the loss of a single world was inconsequential. Reed Richards warned her that Galactus can only consume planets capable of supporting life and since such planets are rarely devoid of intelligent life, she would have to lead her master to inhabited worlds. Raye saw an opportunity to save Earth and to emulate both her fathers by abandoning it: she volunteered to become Galactus' new herald. Despite his oath to spare Earth, Galactus had become weak and felt he had no other option. The arrival of Galactus interrupted Raye's new-found freedom. She soon learned to control her powers more precisely than Storm, albeit at lower levels. Sue Storm convinced Richards to let her join the team as another Human Torch.

Finally, to protect her from his ghosts, he left her to live on her own at the age of fourteen, although he sent a check every month. He also created a transparent suit for her that would suppress her powers and hypnotically ordered her to ignore the suit. Horrified, Horton tried to protect her from the alienation that he had seen the first Torch undergo, so he hypnotized her and ordered her to forget the experience and to develop pyrophobia (fear of fire). Raye not only survived the experience, she found that she could generate flame from her own body, like the Human Torch, and even control nearby fires. The chemicals doused her and burst into flame. While carrying some bottles of chemicals containing Horton Cells, she fell through some weak planks. The government later shut down his research and put the deactivated Torch and his old equipment in a warehouse. Horton, and he had created the first Human Torch, an android. Frankie had no way of knowing his secret: his real name was Phineas T. When Thomas first learned about the Human Torch (Johnny Storm) of the Fantastic Four, he flew into a rage. Without any other family activities, she helped him in his lab. Frankie's mother passed away, leaving her in her stepfather's care.
