ST. JOHN ALLERDYCE
R.I.P.
I'm dead?
Yes, that's true. The comic book version of Pyro died of the Legacy Virus.
And you look like a pixie there!
But let's ignore that for a minute, okay? Good.
This is going to be a page in tribute to the greatest firecontrolling, Australian member of the BoeM ever-
(That kinda rules out a few of them, don't it?)
Pyro!
Yes, that's right, even if many people thought he was English, he actually was from Down Under!
Pyro started his career in the Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants 2.
Before that, he was a journalist in Asia and author of a lot of "gothic romance" novels that the audience liked, but the critics hated.
(If anyone knows what a gothic romance novel is, feel free to tell me.Oh, and yes, there were several Brotherhoods. No. 1 was lead by Magneto, No. 2 by Mystique and No. 3 were lead by Toad.)
In case you're not sure, Pyro's the one that's trying to look out from behind Mystique's big butt.
The Tin Man wannabe is Avalanche (Obviously this version CAN'T look good with a fish bowl on his head), the walking corpse in blue is Destiny, and the big one's Blob. (You'd never guessed that!)
As we can all plainly see, Pyro's costume looks slightly silly. But it's probably not his fault.
And if it was, we forgive him, because it's PYRO!
And we all love Pyro because he was an very nice guy for a bad guy...
He only killed three people that we know about, and a dinosaur from Texas.
And the dino was gonna eat some poor, probably innocent people!
His best friends always were Avalanche and Mystique. That's the big reason why some people are coupleing them in Evo.(Is coupleing actually a word?)
And he had a grandma in Woolamaloo! Ain't that a crazy name for a place? Even in Australia?
Umm... Yes.
After a while, the Brotherhood got busted. So, the government decided to make them be a superhero group named FREEDOM FORCE!
It was when Pyro was in FF that he got the Legacy.
NOOOOOO!
For the sake of the poor, innocent people that don't know too much about the comics:
The Legacy Virus was a disease that only infected mutants.
If you got it, you would get problems with controlling your powers, get pretty sick (as in ill) and insane, and then you died.
You don't look too good when you get the Legacy. The poor thing looks like a scarecrow!
Pyro died pretty shortly before they found a cure for the Legacy, saving the life of senator Kelly.
The Brotherhood of Mutants (notice the lack of evil in ze name) was going to kill Kelly.
Pyro, who weren't in any groups anymore, happened to be in the neighborhood, sent a big fire blast on the guy that was gonna kill Kelly. Way to go, Pyro!
Sadly, the use of his powers made the virus accelerate in Pyro's body, and he died.
In senator Kelly's arms.
Now I'm depressed. I think I'll have to go listen to the Travellin' Strawberries now. It was as tragical as when Sirius Black died when Pyro passed away.
May we never forget him or any of the wonderful things he said, such as
And furthermore, Judge Blob, I contend that the defendant, Pietro Quicksilver, whatever his last name is, can't be considered an evil mutant just because he once belonged to the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants...
or
Good guys don't make messes... We clean'em up!
All the pictures here were borrowed from Freedom Force, which is a very good site. Wait a sec - you liked the picture of pixie Pyro? Me too!
