Well, if he is numero II, that rules out The Mist, as Mist II was I's daughter. I see you did not specify Golden Age-originating villains, so I will guess...
Also starring Blacula's favourite DC villain team - the Royal Flush Gang.
Really great, fun story actually!
Over to you EDE.

Okay, it's well-known that Dave Cockrum originally wanted to use the name "Starfire" for Wildfire, but this was vetoed by DC, apparently because of the pre-existing Titans character. This, of course, did not stop Wolfman from later introducing a new Starfire in his New Teen Titans (and thus forcing the original Starfire to change his name).
There is a certain distinctive characteristic of the second Starfire that actually suggests that the name "Wildfire" would actually fit her better than the Legionnaire. So, name the characteristic, and why it suggests the "Wildfire" name would be appropriate.

Hm. Would it be the trail following her hair as she flies, which usually looks like it's on fire?

That's the trait I'm looking for, but the reason why is something a little more specific to the name.

Because her hair is so ...wild? Haha.

Nope.
So what we're after is... why would "Wildfire" have been a particularly appropriate name for a character with that effect?

you mean the third Starfire, actually. There was another in between the original and Koriand'r, a space opera heroine, although as far as I know her only DCU appearance was in Robinson's Starman.
Her tendency, especially early on, to go overboard in combat, to get too immersed in the thrill of battle?
