Brimstone

Brimstone first became notorious following a particularly nasty encounter with Captain Excellent, which began one of the more prolifc disasters of the First Age. His power was a permanent one, constantly ablaze with a deep red flame. His skin partially removed and a skeletal appearence behind the flames, he posed to be a serious threat, as his flames quickly spread to anything he touched. This became a serious problem to many heroes, as close exposure was enough to take many of them down.

More a tragic figure than a typical villain, he travelled from city to city looking for a cure, only to find property damage and burn victims. He was a walking disaster, leaving his mark across 30% of the country. Ultimately it was Sunstorm that put a stop to it, but not through typical means. A longtime friend, Sunstorm got caught in Brimstones blaze. The shock had a disastrous effect on Brimstone, inducing a severe case of Chronic Antipower, one of the earliest known cases. He is no longer a threat, but remains trapped in a block of ice to this very day.
