BRUSHFIRE

Real Name: Unrevealed

Identity/Class: Human mutate

Occupation: Criminal

Group Membership: None

Affiliations: None

Enemies: Gravity (Greg Willis), NYPD

Known Relatives: None

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: Mobile in New York City

First Appearance: Gravity#5 (December, 2005)

Powers/Abilities: Brushfire could put his body or parts of it on fire. At all the time he had control over the fire's heat which enabled him to protect his own clothes from being burnt even though they were on fire as well. He could release lethal fire bursts from his hands that could easily set a car on fire or burn inner organs.

(Gravity#5) - Brushfire wanted to rob a woman and her child in a dark alley. He threatened to boil her inner organs if she didn't give him her jewelry. Gravity appeared and stopped Brushfire.

(Beyond!#1) - Two cops were going to arrest Brushfire, but he burnt their car. Once again Gravity was around to beat him by dropping the burning police car onto Brushfire, who just got mad. When Gravity threatened to drop a truck onto him, Brushfire surrendered. He was brought away by the police in an armored car.

Comments: Created by Sean McKeever, Mike Norton & Jonathan Glapion.

The origin of Brushfire's power remain a mystery, but because he was still active after M-Day I assume that he was a mutate rather than a mutant.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Brushfire should not be confused with:

• any other "fire" characters (I don't know why but burning people are pretty popular)
