Powers Pyro was a mutant with the psionic ability to cause any fire he could see within a 100-yard radius of himself to grow in size and intensity and to take on any form that he could imagine, even living creatures. Pyro could then mentally direct a creation to do anything he wished by concentrating, the degree necessary being directly proportionate to the size, power, and intensity of the creation. Pyro was unable to create fire himself. Abilities Pyro was an accomplished journalist and novelist. Weapons Pyro wore a kerosene-based flame-thrower on his back that could generate a stream of flame of up to 25 feet away. Paraphernalia Pyro also wore a specially insulated costume that afforded him a certain degree of protection against fires he did not control.
