Pyro - Master of the Living-Flame

Pyro is the mutant name of St. John Allerdyce, a terrorist and mutant extremist from Sydney, Australia. Known as a famous journalist and popular novelist, he joined the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to promote mutant superiority. Pyro possesses mutant powers granting complete control over any flame, animating it to life, though he cannot create fire and relies on a flamethrower. He has been a recurring villain fighting the X-Men and affiliates for years. Later, the Legacy Virus boosted his powers, allowing fire creation but with control issues, and he died from it.
