History

Nothing is known of Brimstone Love's early life, but, at some point, he founded the Theatre of Pain, a sadistic group that profited from human misery, providing twisted entertainment for an audience of the world's rich and jaded. One of his captive "artists", La Lunática, could draw forth painful memories that Brimstone Love could then record for use in his theater.

After becoming aware of mutants in the vicinity, Brimstone Love sent La Lunática to capture some for his patrons' enjoyment. She returned with Bloodhawk, Krystalin, Meanstreak, and Skullfire. While La Lunática was siphoning Skullfire's memories, his power erupted, blowing off the collars that kept the mutants, as well as La Lunática, imprisoned, allowing for all five to escape.

To recapture La Lunática, his best artist, Brimstone Love sent trackers after her, but they weren't successful. When he finally caught up with Luna, instead of taking her with him, he offered the X-Men's leader, Xi'an, a position in the Theatre, and the two left, promising to return.

After putting Xi'an through a harrowing initiation, Brimstone Love faced the other X-Men, who attempted to rescue Xi'an. He temporarily recaptured La Lunática, but when Xi'an turned against him, he teleported to an undisclosed location.
