Biography
Origin
St. John Allerdyce
Brotherhood
The Brotherhood’s first mission was to assassinate Senator John Kelly, a U.S. politician who was a proponent of the Mutant Registration Act being debated in Congress. Unfortunately for the Brotherhood, their plans came to be thwarted in their first ever encounter with the X-Men, who had been warned of the Brotherhood’s plans and rushed to save the Senator. Despite his inexperience in battle, Pyro proved himself a formidable foe, fighting both the X-Men and the U.S. army with flame giants. Ultimately, the Brotherhood were defeated by the X-Men and sent to prison, all except for Mystique. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #142) Mystique quickly hatched a plan to free her teammates from prison but this endeavor too faced unexpected opposition, this time in the form of the Avengers. Once again, Pyro held his own against more experienced & powerful heroes. Using Destiny’s predictions as a guide, Pyro managed to briefly take down Wonder Man with a hammer of flame and threatened the entire team with a gigantic flame beast. It was only by the unpredictable powers of the Scarlet Witch that Pyro was defeated. Once more, most of the team, including Pyro, were recaptured and sent back to prison. (Avengers Annual v1 #10)

Notes
- Pyro was created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne where he made his first appearance in Uncanny X-Men v1 #141 (January, 1981).
- Another Mutant with a similar powerset named Simon Lasker took on the identity for a time until the original Pyro's resurrection in Marauders v1 #1 (October, 2019).
- In Comic Book Legends on CBR, Byrne intended for new Brotherhood member, Pyro, to be gay and drew him with that in mind. Claremont, though, decided to instead make him British. Ultimately, the plotline never occurred as Byrne left the book before the revelation could be made in the book.
