Pyro (Allerdyce) (Marvel Comics)

St. John Allerdyce, also known as Pyro, is a character from the Marvel franchise. He is a mutant who received his superhuman powers from genetic mutation.

Powers
Fire Manipulation: Pyro is a mutant with the psionic ability to cause any fire, no matter how small, to grow in size and intensity and to take any form that he desires, even that of a living creature. He can then psionically cause that creature of "living" flame to do anything he wishes. For example, if he caused a fire to take the form of a gigantic bird of prey, he could mentally direct the bird to fly and attack a victim. The size, power, and intensity of the fire-beings Pyro creates are limited by the extent of his imagination and the degree of his concentration. The degree of concentration required is directly proportional to the size, power, and heat intensity of the flame being. Pyro has to be able to see a flame in order to take control of it; in practical terms, the flame has to be within a 100-yard radius of himself. Once having established control over a fire, he can continue to control it after it has left his range of sight, but only with a degree of difficulty that increases as the distance between himself and the flame increases. Pyro can, for example, create a fiery bird and command it to fly beyond the range of his sight, but if it then collided with a wall or if his concentration was diminished, the bird would revert to being ordinary fire. Any of Pyro's fiery creations will immediately turn to ordinary, amorphous fire if he turns his interest from them. Fire Invulnerability: Pyro is invulnerable to any fire that he has placed under his psionic control. However, he can be harmed, just as any ordinary human would be, by any fire that he is not mentally controlling.
 * Solid Flame: Pyro's fiery creations have greater solidity than an ordinary fire the same size and shape. A gigantic firebird, for example, could grasp a large, heavy objects with its talons and carry it off into the air. However, the heat of the fire will affect the objects just as a normal fire would.

Abilities
Writing: Pyro is an accomplished journalist and novelist.

Weaknesses
Fire Limitation: Although Pyro is able to control any fire within his vicinity, he is unable to generate and project fire himself without the means of flamethrowers. He can be harmed by any fire that he does not have under his mental control, and he has to be able to see a flame in order to take control of it.
