Pyro

Powers

Pyro can use his flames to create smoke clouds to asphyxiate someone's breathing and create thick smoke clouds capable of blocking projectiles.

Though he cannot be burned by a flame which he is manipulating, unlike most other pyrokinetics Pyro isn't immune to heat or fire and can be harmed by any fire that he does not mentally control. Which is why he wears a special insulated suit to protect him briefly from fire he does not control. It is generally accepted that he must be able to see a flame in order to take control of it (hence limiting his mental influence to approximately 100 yards).

Alternate Universes

Age of Apocalypse

Earth-295 Pyro was a mutant held in the Breeding Pens by Apocalypse and Dark Beast. Along with fellow captives Artemis, Avalanche, Newt, and Phantazia, he tried to escape, only to be recaptured and severely injured by Havok, one of the guards. He was then allegedly turned into protoplasmic soup by Dark Beast in order to create more soldiers for Apocalypse.

The Age of Apocalypse version of Pyro was able to generate flames without external assistance, but would burn his own body if he did so. This was apparently a result of genetic modifications by Dark Beast (the evil, AoA version of the X-Men's Beast, who in that reality was a subordinate of Mr. Sinister).

Earth-1610 Pyro

Ultimate Pyro is a mutant and former Morlocks that has had enough of hiding himself. Not much is known about him, however unlike his Earth-616 counterpart, Ultimate Pyro seems to generate flames from his body. It is yet to be seen whether he has the same degree of control over the flames he creates as Earth-616 Pyro as well. Physically, this Pyro is horribly scarred and disfigured from exposure to fire, indicating that unlike 616 Pyro, Ultimate Pyro is not immune to the effects of the fire that he generates (or controls). When shot and wounded he proclaimed that fire is his friend and generated flame in his hands to cauterize the wounds, partially explaining his rough appearance. He appeared for the first time on a rampage because of the "death" of Charles Xavier. He was recruited by Bishop and Storm as part as their X-Men team. He has also stated that he is a fan of Angel's.
