Pyro (comics)

Pyro (St. John Allerdyce) is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a recurring enemy of the X-Men and later becomes an agent of the U.S. government. He was created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne and introduced in Uncanny X-Men #141 ( January 1981) as part of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Pyro had the mutant ability to control fire.

Pyro and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants are the main antagonists in the Days of Future Past in the X-Men comics as they attempt to assassinate Senator Robert Kelly, which in an alternate timeline leads to a dystopic future where Mutants are hunted, killed or captured by the Sentinels robots. Through time travel the assassination was thwarted.

At a later date the Brotherhood becomes agents of the US government in exchange for a full pardon and the team becomes known as the Freedom Force. While working for the government the team confronts both the X-Men and the Avengers. During a mission to Kuwait Pyro is captured by the enemy. Pyro contracted the Legacy Virus, fatal to all mutants, moments before his death Pyro saved Senator Kelly from another assassination attempt, changing Kelly's anti-mutant stance. Pyro was later resurrected by the Transmode Virus, existing as a techno-organic being under Selene's control.
