History
Pyro and the rest of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants were captured by Henry Gyrich and the Genoshan government alongside many other mutants. They were forced to build a dam which was supposed to power Master Mold, wearing special collars to restrict their mutant powers. Jubilee, Storm and Gambit managed to deactivate the collars with the help of Cable, freeing Pyro and the other mutants .[1]
Mystique, who was now working with Apocalypse, told Pyro and Avalanche to come to Muir Island. After arriving on the island, the two mutants waited for her in a pub, where they encountered Rogue. Pyro, suspecting her to be Mystique, approached her, but she told him that she was looking for the scientist Gottfried Adler. When Pyro asked her for a "hot date", a short fight started, and Avalanche ended up being thrown through the wall into the ocean. Pyro went searching for him and came across Cable, who was also looking for Dr. Adler. After reuniting with Avalanche, Pyro, who realized that Adler was in big demand, decided to kidnap him. They broke into Adler's laboratory and abducted the scientist, who was about to treat Rogue. However, they soon realized that "Dr. Adler" was actually Mystique, and Rogue's "treatment" would have turned her into a slave of Apocalypse. They were then confronted by Rogue. Still unaware of Adler's true identity, she fought Pyro and Avalanche and defeated them both.[2]
Under Apocalypse's orders, the Brotherhood tried to assassinate Senator Kelly. They were confronted by the X-Men, who had been warned about the assassination by the time-traveler Bishop from the future. Pyro fought them alongside Avalanche and the Blob, but Bishop absorbed a lot of energy from Avalanche's seismic waves and released it back at him and Pyro, causing them to flee.[3]Attributes

Notes
- Pyro appeared in four episodes of 1990s X-Men: The Animated Series, voiced by Graham Halley.
- This version of Pyro is British rather than Australian. He frequently used stereotypically British phrases such as "old bean" and "old girl" in conversations.
