Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist/co-writer John Byrne, he first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #141 (January 1981). Pyro is a mutant who possesses the power to psionicaly control fire and flame, though not generate it. He wears a flame thrower on his back to provide the flame which he then takes control of. His ability to manipulate flame emerged in his teens, but he was unable to find a practical use for it. In the 2003 sequel X2, Pyro is played by Aaron Stanford. In the film, Pyro is named John Allerdyce, and is a student at Professor X's and friend of Iceman and Rogue. Pyro keeps a Zippo lighter on him at all times to provide him his fire. Pyro defects from the X-Men and joins Magneto's Brotherhood toward the end of the film.
- Stanford reprises the role in the 2006 film X-Men: The Last Stand. In this film, Pyro now wears a flame-generating device on his right wrist. He fights Iceman during Magneto's attack on Alcatraz Island.(Wikipedia)
