Call her a "hot babe". See how that works out for you.]]->'''''"BURN WITH ME!"'''''-->-- '''Torajii''', ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''42''Fire is one of the basic [[ElementalPowers classical elements]] and usually the starter element from the FireIceLightning trinity that console role-playing games love so much. It's a very popular power to use, mainly because it comes from the [[StuffBlowingUp prettiest of explosions]]. This seems to work best when used on [[KillItWithFire the undead]], [[ArrowsOnFire arrows]], [[FlamingSword swords]], and, [[RuleOfCool against all common sense]], even [[WreathedInFlames people]]. It even works when [[{{Fireballs}} rolled up into a tangible ball]] and thrown!People who are literally packing heat also tend to be fireproof and have a very high heat tolerance, as RequiredSecondaryPowers. But sometimes, they aren't and are, in fact, just as vulnerable to their own flames as everybody else. Similarly, such characters may be [[GlassCannon Glass Cannons]] physically or emotionally owing to their element's reputation for extreme destruction and fragility.A person with fire power often possesses - get this - [[PersonalityPowers a fiery personality]]. You could say that they are HotBlooded, [[FourTemperamentEnsemble choleric,]] or that the flame of passion burns within them. And who knows, maybe their [[HurricaneOfPuns burning anger]] [[PsychoactivePowers powers their burning hands]]; it's certainly possible for it to make them literally [[BurningWithAnger burn from anger]]. They also tend to be [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance redheads]] (or dye their hair). They may even give you due warning by being {{Fiery Redhead}}s. If they're also a PyroManiac, [[AxCrazy heaven help you]].Contrast with the natural foil, AnIcePerson, MakingASplash (with which it combines for boiling or steam), and ShockAndAwe (which can be perceived as this trope plus BlowYouAway). Compare KillItWithFire, and HavingABlast. May overlap with MagmaMan (which could be perceived as a combination of this trope and DishingOutDirt). If you're caught in a literal firefight with these people, you should probably KillItWithWater. Frequently shown [[SmugSuper (off)]] via FingerSnapLighter and BlastingTime. Expect them to sneer at anyone using a FauxFlame.----!!Examples[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Anime and Manga]]* In ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'', the prince, Alibaba Saluja, and Aladdin's constant companion has the spirit of fire possess his dagger and at first, he can only shoot flames from the sword itself, but later on he gains the ability to use Djinn Equip and turn his arms to black lava-like things and his sword gets bigger and he can shoot more flames, but by the next series, he can completely surround himself with flames and move around in them, flying as well, and also his hair gets longer and looks like flames as well. So yeah, he fits the trope pretty well. * In ''Manga/BlackCat'', Kyoko, one of the members of the Apostles of the Stars, can raise her body temperature high enough to burn everything she touches, breathe fire, and create a force field made of fire.* In ''Manga/AirGear'', there is Spitfire and Aeon Clock [[spoiler:and, eventually, Kazu, after Spitfire dies.]]* While her strengths are more in BlackMagic, Lina Inverse of ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' mostly uses fire Shamanistic Magic to fight--appropriate, given her [[FieryRedHead nature]]. Also, the most basic and best-known mage spells are either WhiteMagic or fire Shamanism.* In ''LightNovel/KazeNoStigma'', the whole Kannagi family (except Kazuma) use fire magic due to the fact that the first Kannagi made a contract with the spirit king of fire. Ayano even fits the personality aspects of a fire user to a T, being a {{Tsundere}}, HotBlooded, and FieryRedhead triple threat.* Recca Hanabishi and Kurei from ''FlameOfRecca'', who are [[{{Expy}} expies]] of Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami.* Signum (a.k.a. the Blazing General) from ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''. There's also Agito, the fire-based [[FusionDance Unison Device]]. [[spoiler: The two of them eventually become partners]].** Rio Wesley has both, fire ''and'' [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] powers. It's really rare to have two than one Magic Conversion Affinity.** Harry Tribeca has fire affinity.** Alisa Bannings in the AlternateContinuity, ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaINNOCENT''.* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':** Shinigami head captain Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai uses the sword Ryujin Jakka (Flowing Flame Blade) but defies the personality portion of this trope by having immense self-control and a calm demeanor. [[spoiler: At least in the present day. He was much more thuggish and hotheaded a thousand years ago during the first war against Yhwach.]] His zanpakuto's release command is "Reduce all creation to ashes, Ryuujin Jakka!" His initial release can create an inferno capable of engulfing an entire valley and anyone even in remote proximity reacts with justifiable terror. His Bankai is even worse� [[spoiler:All of the flames are concentrated into the blade. When it cuts there are no flames; the object is merely incinerated. All of the moisture in Seireitei evaporates. It creates an invisible armor of flame around his body that incinerates anything that gets near him. And its maximum heat is a whopping 1,500,000 degrees!]]** Fire is also Momo Hinamori's specialty. Her shikai produces sparky explosions.** Shusuke Amagai [[spoiler:the FillerVillain]] from the [[{{Filler}} New Captain arc]] had fire-based powers.** Yoshino Soma's [[BondCreatures doll]] Goethe from the [[{{Filler}} Bount arc]] was a fire elemental. Yoshino later merged with Goethe and obtained [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Human Torch]]-like powers.** Engetsu or "Scathing Moon", the zanpakutou belonging to [[spoiler:Isshin Kurosaki, n� Shiba]], uses the shikai command "Burn!". It appears to create a wall of flame and allow its user to literally ''spit fire''.** The movie villains [[CoDragons Yang]] (from the 2nd movie) and [[BigBadWannabe Shuren]] (from the 4th movie).** Bazz-B is known as "The Heat" among the Vandenreich. His fire abilities are so great that he can [[spoiler:stop Yamamoto's flames from harming him and his comrades, as well as melt Hitsugaya's ice with [[FingerPokeOfDoom one finger]].]]* Roy Mustang from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', aka "Flame Alchemist". He has special gloves that create sparks easily, with transmutation circles that can transform air into oxygen and hydrogen, a combination that allows him to create [[UpToEleven fireBOMBS]] at will. [[PersonOfMassDestruction Giant, street-leveling, lightning-fast firebombs]]. And he can also create what look like lasers, but with fire.* ''Manga/OnePiece'':** Portgas D. Ace is quite literary the embodiment of fire, having eaten the Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit). He can create fire, manipulate it however he wants, and turn his body into it at will, allowing both for rocket-like flight and letting attacks pass through him. Extra credits for shooting flame beams from {{finger gun}}s.** Marco the Phoenix can transform into a blue phoenix and can use fire to heal his wounds.** Sanji's Diable Jambe (Devil Leg), which covers his foot in heat, allowing him to set fire to or burn opponents.** Luffy by combining vulcanization and gear second can also use burning attacks.** Kinemon, who can cut with fire as well as cut fire blasts.** [[spoiler:After Ace's death, Donquixote Deflamingo found the new Mera Mera no Mi and uses it as the prize of the tournament in Dressrossa. The winner of the tournament is Ace and Luffy's brother Sabo, who was believed to be killed by a Tenryubito. The Devil Fruit was real and Sabo possess the power of his beloved brother now.]]* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', all the Uchiha clan members have a natural affinity for fire, though many of them can use other elements as well. In fact, fire is the dominant chakra nature of the Hidden Leaf Village as a whole (as would be expected from a place located in the Land of Fire), and the Sarutobi are another of its clans who seem to have a natural affinity for it. Some ninjas from other villages can use fire as well.** Uchiha with [[DeadlyUpgrade Mangekyo Sharingan]] eyes can also use Amaterasu, a special black fire which can burn ''anything'', even regular fire.* Rei Hino (Sailor Mars) from ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' has appropriately fire-based powers, and also reads flames in her work as a {{miko}}.** Likewise are her villainous counterparts Koan of the Ayakashi Sisters with her Dark Fire attack, and Eudial of the Witches 5 with her Fire Buster move. Hawk's Eye of the Amazon Trio sported the ability to breath fire with help from a torch.* While all the Suzaku Senshi in ''FushigiYugi'' are the servants of the [[TheFourGods fire god,]] Tasuki is the only one with actual powers over fire and flames, probably because he's [[PersonalityPowers the most deserving]], given his HotBlooded nature.* Shizuma Kusanagi from ''SamuraiGirlRealBoutHighSchool'' is a HotBlooded brawler with fiery moves...that are usually performed with alcohol and a disposable lighter. The important thing is it still works like Kyo's moves do, and they still involve a great deal of physical exertion.* Shana from ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana''. The translation of her series' title is "the girl with fire in her eyes". That's not [[{{Tsundere}} the only thing about her that's fiery]], either.* Mai Tokiha from ''Anime/{{Mai-HiME}}'' has an Element that allows her to manipulate fire.* Hikaru Shidou from ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'', the MagicKnight of Flame (and a bit of [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]]).* Natsu from ''Manga/FairyTail''.** Also, Elemental Four member Totomaru, who can control flames as well create [[TechnicolorFire different-colored flames with different properties]].** And now we have [[spoiler: Zancrow of the Seven Sins of Purgatory]]. The very first villain, Bora, also counts.* Hotaru from ''SamuraiDeeperKyo.''* Phoenix Ikki in ''Manga/SaintSeiya''.* Ryo of the Wildfire from ''RoninWarriors''.* [[MeaningfulName Burner]] the Fire Demon from ''Manga/{{Yaiba}}''.* Goh, the Leafe Knight of Fire, from ''{{Pretear}}''.* Hiei from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' is this trope all over, being a fire youkai and all. He first demonstrates this ability by incinerating ''another fire youkai (Zeru)'', who had been hyped up as being pretty powerful. Rando can also throw fireballs [[spoiler:because he stole the technique]].** To show you the difference between their levels: though he claimed to use "demonic fire", Zeru was only limited to flames in the human world; Hiei, on the other hand, because of his transplanted [[MagicalEye Jagan Eye]] could also control "Darkness Flame": the living black flame of the demon world Makai.* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': ** Stiyl Magnus, [[StarterVillain the first magician]] Touma faces, uses liberally distributed magical runes to throw 3000�C fireballs and control an indefinitely regenerating fire demon. Sadly, after his HeelFaceTurn, he gets hit by TheWorfEffect quite badly.** Fiamma of the Right is the most powerful human villain the series' protagonists have faced so far. His ability, "The Holy Right", manifests in the form of a flaming third arm behind him, allowing him to perform incredibly broken acts like conjuring a '''''forty kilometer long''''' [[FlamingSword Flaming]] {{BFS}} and flames which destroy objects without any destructive force.* Phoenix King Saffron from ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''. He doesn't just project fire, it ''[[GoodThingYouCanHeal heals]]'' [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin him]].* Robin Sena from ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin''.* Kaito of ''PsychoBusters''.* The Festival arc of ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has Mei Sakura, who is also a fire magic specialist, and the significantly more competent [[spoiler: Chao Lingshen]], who, after releasing the seal on her magic, reveals herself to be scarily powerful at it. Later on, the main hero's childhood friend Anya displays this ability. From the arc following it is [[MeaningfulName Homura]], one of Fate's loyal minions and [[spoiler:[[YouAreNumberSix number four in the series he comes from]], Quartum, Averruncus of Fire]].* One of contractors' power in ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' is massive pyrokinesis. This would not be that bad...if it were so easily triggered instinctively or the contractor in question wasn't a little girl prone to emotional overreaction and rolling downhill into long, dreamwalking trances. Another contractor caused, at will, [[StuffBlowingUp fiery explosions]] of handprints he previously left on something. Which is [[ImpressivePyrotechnics spectacular]] when the boy bothers to mark with his skin fat ''everything in a room''.* In Part 3 of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', Muhammad Avdol's stand, Magician's Red, has the ability to conjure and control flames. Strangely enough, his flames also seem to be useful at binding people.* Natsume Hyuuga from ''GakuenAlice'' is a Fire Alice, although it comes with a price: he [[PowerDegeneration loses a bit of his life every time he sets something alight]].* 006 (Chang Changku) from ''{{Cyborg 009}}'' can breathe fire hot enough to melt almost any surface.* Zelman Clock from ''BlackBloodBrothers'' has a power called Eye Ignite which lets him create and control fire.* [[KnightTemplar Kuyou]] from ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'' has this power.* Takahisa Tajima from ''ElevenEyes'' has the ability to conjure and control fireballs. [[spoiler:Which gets really bad when he goes into an UnstoppableRage.]]* Ogami from ''CodeBreaker'' uses his flames to kill his enemies.* The AntiAntiChrist of ''Manga/BlueExorcist'' has blue flames as his RedRightHand.* Kannagi from ''Manga/ArataKangatari'', [[spoiler:until he loses his [[EmpathicWeapon hayagami]]]].* [[OnlyOneName Inori]] from ''VideoGame/HarukanaruTokiNoNakaDe''.* Jacqueline O. Lantern Dupr� from ''Manga/SoulEater'' has the Weapon form of a lantern that doubles as a flamethrower. She can also generate fire without fully transforming. In fact, the trio of Ox, Kim, and Kirikou are fire and lightening based: Harvar is an [[ShockAndAwe electricity-generating lance]], and Pot of Thunder and Pot of Fire's powers are what their names suggest.* ''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}'': Natsuru uses fire powers as his Zauber ability.* ''KaraNoKyoukai'' has Azaka Kokuto, whose fire abilities are shown in the 6th chapter.* ''[[{{Gaiking}} Gaiking Legend Of Daiku Maryu]]'' is practically made of this trope.* Amateur exorcist Izuna from ''Manga/HellTeacherNube''. Her pyrokinesis first manifested when she experienced [[spoiler:her first love]], but unfortunately for her, it was completely uncontrollable and tended to [[ClothingDamage burn her clothes]] [[{{Fanservice}} down to nothing]] ([[NakedPeopleAreFunny much to her distress]]), and Nube and friends were worried that [[RequiredSecondaryPowers her own fire could consume her]]. Eventually, she learned to control it with deadly accuracy.** [[{{Youkai}} Sorcerer Fox]] [[TheRival Tamamo]] and the three Oni siblings, [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan Baki]], Zekki, and [[NobleDemon Minki]], also use fire as their main means of offense.* [[ActionGirl Frederica]] from 'Manga/'{{Psyren}}''.* Fatina from ''Anime/TheTowerOfDruaga'' is a fire mage who channels her magic through a magic gun/flamethrower.* Played with in ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn''. Certain people have the ability to use Dying Will Flames, which can be one of seven types that correspond to a weather phenomenon and have a special property. Subverted in that some flames have a property that seems more like another element, namely, [[MakingASplash Rain Flames]] and [[ShockAndAwe Lightning Flames.]]** In the manga, [[spoiler: seven more flames are added when the Simon Family enter the story. The new Earth Flames (as opposed to the Sky Flames) correspond to themes associated with the Earth such as Flames of the [[GreenThumb Forest]], [[AnIcePerson Glacier]], and [[DishingOutDirt Mountain]].]]* In the anime ''LightNovel/DragonCrisis'', we have Rose, a cute [[TokenMiniMoe loli]] with a strange necklace--who is also able to throw fire.* Renkotsu of the Band of Seven in Manga/InuYasha is a firearms expert who seems to love blowing stuff up and even breathes fire with his explosives and other equipment.* Homura in ''{{Sekirei}}'', against personality type, is one of the more stoic characters. The HotBlooded {{Tsundere}} is the water Sekirei, Tsukiumi, who exhibits the remainder of this trope.* Rin, aka Cure Rouge, from ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5''. Even her hair is shaped like a flame when transformed!** Cure Sunny from ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'' also has fire as her personal element.* Two characters in ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' can create/control fire: Flamboyant superhero Nathan Seymour/Fire Emblem and criminal-killing vigilante [[spoiler: Yuri Petrov]]/Lunatic. Both avert the standard Personality Powers for fire as Nathan is cheerfully camp and Lunatic is unnervingly calm both in and out of costume.* In the manga version of ''{{Tokko}}'', Sakura's SwordBeam attack seems to be fire-based. Also, Ito is shown to be able to make a giant flaming hand shoot up out of the ground.* In ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'', there is the Fiery Card, which takes the form of a young boy with burning wings. Also, Syaoran uses a PaperTalisman with fire-based powers now and then. (Usually to fight Clow Cards, but [[CrowningMomentOfFunny he set Touya's jacket on fire with it once]].)* Dilandau's GiantMecha in ''{{Escaflowne}}'' is equipped with giant flamethrowers... which [[AxCrazy Dilandau]] ''loves'' to use.* In ''SaintBeast'', Goh is gifted with fire-based ElementalPowers.* ''ZatchBell'' has Zofis to start with, though his powers are officially based on explosions. Much later, we have Fango, who plays the trope straight.* Kotohara Ren from ''Manga/PopcornAvatar'', while not actually having an avatar of her own yet, is still the incarnation of Agni, the Deva of Fire, and will likely provide the fire-based abilities.* ''LightNovel/ChuunibyouDemoKoiGaShitai'': So Yuuta's [[OldShame delusions]] go. Black fire, to be exact.* ''Very'' common in ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}''. It overlaps with RedIsHeroic, HeroesPreferSwords, FlamingSword and DinosaursAreDragons.* Gurren from ''ShonenOnmyouji'' uses the fires from hell in his attacks. He's considered the strongest out of the 12 shikigami in terms of attack power.* ''Anime/YuGiOh'' has Joey Wheeler/Katsuya Jonouchi; his favorite monster is the Flame Swordsman.** ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' has Axel Brodie/Austin O'Brien; his Deck utilizes the Volcanic archetype.*** ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' has Hunter Pace/Mukuro Enjo; his Deck utilizes the Burning Skull archetype.* Tomoe from ''Manga/KamisamaKiss'' is a centuries old {{Kitsune}} who has a tendency to summon fireballs so much he might qualify as pyromaniac. He also has a nasty little habit of combining this with BalefulPolymorph; namely transforming his victim into a game animal of some kind and than roasting them alive. * In ''Anime/UmiMonogatari'', Kanon's power is to control fire.* The title character of ''Manga/HanaTheFoxGirl'' breathes foxfire when she becomes embarrassed.[[/folder]][[folder:Comic Books]]* Pyro, an ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'' villain. His mutant power allows him to control fire, but, notably, not create it; in the comics and the third movie, he uses a specially designed harness to produce flame, but in the first and second movies, he used an ordinary lighter.** Also in ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}'', Shiro [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Yoshida/Yashida]], the [[ThirtySecondsOverTokyo Japanese]] CaptainEthnic guest-star Sunfire, complete with a rising-sun emblem and scary pseudo-samurai mask that looks like it's made of fire half the time.** ComicBook/JeanGrey with the power of ThePhoenix Force. Her Phoenix powers give her cosmic pyrokinesis, essentially magic fire.** The UltimateUniverse Pyro is not immune to fire and is horribly scarred all over his body.* Johnny Storm (the second, but more famous Human Torch) from the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour''. The ''original'' hothead.** Frankie Raye had powers similar to the Torch's, and her powers were augmented to cosmic levels when she became Nova, a Herald of {{Galactus}}.** Another one of Galactus' Heralds, the aptly named Firelord, has similar powers (his original name was also Pyreus Kril, tying into the theme)** The Golden Age Torch was an android who ''accidentally'' burst into flame on contact with air. He later gained control over his powers, became a superhero, and picked up a sidekick, Toro, who was ''also'' on fire, but a human boy mutated by radiation rather than an android.** Tara, a DistaffCounterpart to the Golden Age Human Torch, is also an android who bursts into flames. Unlike The Golden Age Torch, she never gained full control over her powers, so she was given a special suit so she could "flame off".** The Golden Age Human Torch was sometimes impersonated by Captain Kerosene, who had similar powers.** Super-Skrull has this power as well. Since he has all of the F4's powers.* Liz Sherman from ''Comicbook/{{Hellboy}}''. As it turns out in the comicbooks, she actually has some kind of free-willed elemental fire-spirit living inside her, hence her occasional PowerIncontinence.* Magma from ''NewMutants'' controls fire in addition to lava, so she's kind of a Fire/Earth elemental.** And various versions of Sunfire, as well.** Matchstick, a mutant at the Xavier school. Part of his mutation is that his head is permanently on fire.*** School rioter Glob Herman's body was made of a gelatinous substance that could also be set on fire (until he was extinguished). The "setting on fire" part was taken care of by fellow rebel student Redneck, who had actual fire powers.** Fever Pitch, another mutant fire guy. His powers eventually destroyed his body, but his flaming skeleton continues to walk among us, fully alive.* Fever, late of the ''Comicbook/DoomPatrol''. Well, she had the power to increase the temperature around her and she was invulnerable to the heat, so invariably, she would light herself mostly on fire. She's a spacey {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, though. Well, until being imprisoned on Apokolips made her DarkerAndEdgier, that is.** One of Crazy Jane's [[SplitPersonality multiple superpowered personalities]] is the gigantic "Sun Daddy" who shoots fireballs out of her flaming head. There was also Flaming Katy, who had more conventional fire powers.* Effigy, a Franchise/GreenLantern villain, had powers that worked kind of like a GreenLanternRing, but with fire instead. He was originally intended as a Sinestro-style EvilCounterpart to the then-new (and very pyrophobic) Lantern, Kyle Rayner.** This is the gimmick of several DC villains, most notably Heat Wave, who is an extreme pyromaniac who burned down his home as a boy and designed a pocket flamethrower and fireproof suit so he could handle fire better.** Similarly, Franchise/{{Batman}} villains and pyromaniac arsonists Firefly and Firebug, who actually have nothing to do with each other.** And the Human Flame, a small-time crook brought down by the Martian Manhunter decades ago. When he got out of the joint, friends in high places let him get revenge by roasting MM alive. The Human Flame's suit shoots fire from nozzles located on its chest, leading to jokes about him having "fire nipples".** And minor villain Vulcan, as part of his group's Greek mythology theme.* Fire Lad, of the Legion of Substitute Heroes, could breathe fire. He was rejected by the ComicBook/{{Legion Of Super-Heroes}} because he couldn't control his powers very well; a recent version of him had his powers officially listed as "breathes fire with at best moderate control."** Sun Boy had more direct, Human Torch-style fire abilities (and a way with the ladies not unlike Johnny's). Wildfire, a little, as well.* DC heroine Beatriz [=DaCosta=], also known as Fire. Unlike most other fire wielders, her flames burn green, and, even de-powered, her hair is permanently bright green.* Blazer from ''Comicbook/JusticeMachine''.* A number of minor Creator/MarvelComics supervillains possess this power. Firebrand was a radical political anarchist who created his own suit of flame-blasting armor to battle Iron Man, the second one stole the battlesuit of the first and went on to battle Comicbook/{{Spider-Man}} and a few B-list heroes, and the third was mutated by a horrible lab accident and essentially became a PsychoElectro, except with fire. Another notable example is the supervillain Solarr, who possesses the ability to absorb solar radiation and convert it to blasts of fire that he can control. Using this ability to become a supervillain, he would later go on to battle Comicbook/CaptainAmerica, Comicbook/{{Spider-Man}}, Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}, and ComicBook/AlphaFlight.* In ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'', Chris Kent's girlfriend, Thara Ak-Var, has pyrokinesis in addition to standard Kryptonian powers. She can harness fire even if being stunned by kryptonite, red sunlight, or some other Kryptonian weakness.* In ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'', Willy Pete's body burns hotter than the sun, and he can fill a building with flames before anyone even knows he's there. Don't ask how he takes advantage of his powers.* Flame, from ''Wonderworld Comics'', can control fire and even burst into flames.* Vulcan, from ''Super-Mystery Comics'', can control fire and is effectively bulletproof since the bullets melt before hitting him.* Fireman, from ''Liberty Scouts'', can control fire and even turn into glass.* The ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan version of the Green Goblin drops his usual aresnal for immense fire abilities including melting bullets and being a WalkingWasteland.* Fireball, from ''Pep Comics'', can control fire and uses his abilities to fight arsonists.* Red Blazer, from ''Pocket Comics'', also had fire powers.* [[TheMightyThor Thor]] has created fire blasts and expanding fire waves with Mjolnir. The hammer can also be used to absorb fire-based attacks, while Thor himself has withstood Comicbook/GhostRider's hellfire, Heimdall's cosmic fire, and the Super Skrull's nova blast for extended periods.** Likewise, Surtur, Lord of the Fire Demons of Muspelheim, can produce massive amounts of fire akin to stars.* Taranee Cook from ''Comicbook/{{WITCH}}'', who averts the firey personality aspect by being shy, bookish, and the [[TheSmartGuy brainy one]].** She still has a temper: as Cedric put it when Elyon asked him to stop a furious Taranee, "I can't! The Power of Fire is the most untamed of all! Run away! RUN AWAY!". It gets better: Cedric cried that when Taranee got furious and started melting the supposedly fireproof bubble she was imprisoned into, and he rebuked Elyon because [[GenreSavvy he told her not to provoke Taranee]].* The titular team in ''{{Wildguard}}'' features two heroes with this power: Ignacia and Freezerburn. This clashes with SuperheroSpeciation standards, especially since Freezerburn also having AnIcePerson powers causes many people to write Ignacia off as redundant.* Surprisingly averted by Nedor's Pyroman -- he actually has electrical powers.* Johnny Do, a character from ''ComicBook/TheNewUniverse'' title ''Psi-Force'', combines this power with severe HollywoodAutism. The results [[ManOnFire are not pretty]].* ''ComicBook/{{Femforce}}'' has Firebeam, the ghost of a woman killed in a house fire, whose spirit can now control fire.* Marvel ''and'' DC ''each'' have a pretty fire-wielder named Volcana.* A major plot point in ''ComicBook/TheWickedAndTheDivine'''s first arc is which gods have fire within their domains, since whoever does also had the ability to kill the judge and frame Lucifer for murder. Lucie herself, obviously, is one, and she often flicks her thumb on fire to light her cigarette. Baphomet also lights a subway on fire in his first appearance. Beyond that, Cassandra figures that any god with domain over the sky, since that includes the sun and therefore fire. Announce later clarifies that [[spoiler: ''all'' the gods can perform miracles, which means ''any'' of them could have killed the judge]].* Burn from ''ComicBook/StrikeforceMorituri'' had standard pyrotechnic powers.* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'':** The villain Judge Fire is a mass-murdering [[FlamingSkulls skeleton wreathed in flames]] with fire-based powers, which he shoots out of a trident. This makes his physical shell ridiculously hard to destroy even compared to the other Dark Judges, with water logically proving most effective to counter him. Has a hotheated personality and is a psychopathic {{pyromaniac}}.** There are some psychics in Mega-City One who are able to project fire, but they're kept under permanent observation by Psi-Division because they tend to suffer from PowerIncontinence.* The ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' villain Flamethrower is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. There's also an alien species called the Thermians who are WreathedInFlames and wear backpacks that let them manipulate fire.[[/folder]][[folder:Fanfiction]]* In Fanfic/KeepersOfTheElements, Izzy gains this as her Element.* Gerland in FanFic/TheTaintedGrimoire is a master of fire-based spells.* [[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Sam]]]] as part of the ''FanFic/FacingTheFutureSeries''.* [[SupportingProtagonist Nathaniel Augustine']] psychic powers manifest this way in ''Fanfic/TheLegacyOfTheBloodRavens''.* The wizard Emeth from ''Fanfic/WarriorsOfTheWorld'' specialises in fire spells.* Aurora Borealis has this as her special talent in ''Fanfic/{{Whispers}}''. * Celestia gets some aspects of this ability in the [[FanFic/TriptychContinuum Triptych Continuum]], which seems to be a unique side effect stemming from her link to Sun. However, she hasn't been shown to generate direct flame. Instead, she seems to create pure ''heat'', apparently from nowhere. (This is in contrast to pegasi who know the heat-shifting ''technique'': hot spots can be created -- by lowering the temperature somewhere else.) She can channel this on a very small and subtle scale: in particular, she can literally burn out infections. However, when she gets upset, the temperature in her vicinity tends to spike... [[spoiler: [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/131321/a-mark-of-appeal A Mark Of Appeal]] shows her having a nightmare in which the ability goes out of control, sending Equestria into literal meltdown.]][[/folder]][[folder:Film]]* Warren Peace in ''Film/SkyHigh''* Chi is the least stoic and solemn of the WarriorsOfVirtue. Though he also represents Wisdom, he's still eager and impulsive: "Patience is ''not'' my virtue."* Wilder and Wallace in ''Wilder Napalm''* ''Film/XMen'':** Pyro can't generate fire, but is immune to it and can direct and grow any nearby fire. As such, he uses a lighter to create it when he needs to in the [[Film/XMen1 first]] [[Film/X2XMenUnited two]] movies, and he gets a wrist mounted flamethrower in the [[Film/XMenTheLastStand third]].** Sunspot's mutant ability in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.* Liz Sherman in the first and second ''Film/{{Hellboy}}'' movies has pyrokinesis, but is unhappy with it and [[PowerIncontinence has difficulty controlling it]] (she burned down an entire city block and killed her family as an ''eight-year-old''). Ultimately, she is able to embrace it and, in the second film, has greater control and is in a relationship with the luckily fireproof Hellboy. Oddly, Hellboy has the fiery, impulsive, and chaotic personality, while Liz is comparatively stable and reserved.* In the film ''Film/TheLastAirbender'', Firebending is handled differently than in [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender the show]]; no firebender can create their element, [[ElementalBaggage so they all have to carry around tiny lanterns]]. Only the most powerful can generate flames from nothing.* In the film ''Film/{{Firestarter}}'', little Charlie [=McGee=] slowly comes into her powers until her pyrokinesis lets her take down an entire hardsite full of armed agents.* ''Film/{{Legend}}''** The alicorn (unicorn horn) allows its holder to start fires and throw fire. ** In the climactic fight with Jack, Darkness repeatedly fires fire out of his hands and weapons he's holding and causes fire to blaze up at a distance.* La Muerte from ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'', gives little sparks that are red like fire. And she literally, ''blew her top'' [[spoiler:when she found out that Xibalba cheated again]]. At the end, [[spoiler:when she and Xibalba have a BigDamnKiss, the candles on her hat become fireworks]].[[/folder]][[folder:Literature]]* In ''Literature/TheQuestOfTheUnaligned'', aeshes (fire-aligned mages) are an example of this trope. As an example, Laeshana, one of the book's main characters, has a fiery personality that accompanies her literal fire powers that results in her arguing with powerful governmental figures and "flaming" herself unconscious.* The little girl at the beginning of the first book in the ''Literature/{{Gone}}'' series.* [=DeMarians=] in ''Literature/TalesOfTheBranionRealm''. They are literal fiery redheads, and are worshiped as avatars of a god of Flame.* ''Literature/DoraWilkSeries'' has magical furies and infernal pyres, both of which can control fire, although it takes time to learn how to do this without burning everything and everybody in sight at the slightest strong emotion, leading to both furies and pyres being outcasts in their respective societies. Out of characters in story, Laoise and Katarzyna are half-furies, while [[spoiler:Miron]] becomes a pyr due to freak magic accident.* Alison Cole from {{Hottie}}* ''Literature/LordOfTheRings'':** Gandalf, servant of the Secret Fire and wielder of the Flame of Anor (which may or may not have to do with [[spoiler:bearing Narya, the Elven Ring "red as fire"]]). However, he needs wood to sustain a fire, as he cannot burn snow.** In the battle that cost him the Ring, Sauron's body was described as blackened from the immense heat he gave off and even set people who got too close to him on fire.* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'':** Harry Dresden prefers fire evocations, with a minor in wind and force, except for a period where, after being horribly burned with a flamethrower, he actually became ''pyrophobic.'' There was also the time period where he had [[SpiritAdvisor a fallen angel living in his head]] that granted him access to HellFire. The Hellfire has since been replaced with Soulfire, which is sort of Hellfire's opposite number. Instead of being like a really bad bank loan, with immediate payoffs but nasty costs later, it's more like an investment; the costs are immediate (using it dips into his actual specific soul, draining life force which may or may not grow back), but the gains are much greater and more constructive than the brute force of Hellfire.** [[TheFairFolk Sidhe of the Summer Court]] also tend to use fire-based magic, though theirs is usually described as more gentle than destructive, in opposition to the [[AnIcePerson cold-based magic]] of the Winter Court.** It should noted that for human base magic, Harry uses "Fuego" as his magic word to summon fire because of the mental connection he makes between it and the power. If he used English words, such as "fire" every time he thought or said "fire" cue summon. So one time when Harry was truly and righteously pissed at his enemy, he cried out "[[UnstoppableRage Fuego. Pyrofuego! *Burn!*]]" Sometimes, though, he needs only a small flame. For lighting candles, it's "Flickum Bicus." ** Now that he's the Knight of the Winter Court, he has access to ice magic, too. He still likes "Fuego" but won't hesitate to use "Infrigga!" A note on the magic words: ''because'' it's based on how the mind views the word, at once establishing a connection to the power and yet creating a buffer between it and the caster, his Latin-sounding words are AsLongAsItSoundsForeign even when sounding more legit than "Flickum Bicus," and his actual Latin is terrible. It's stated that someone who knew Latin fluently ''couldn't'' use it for casting; it'd be no different than if Harry used English.* Charlie [=McGee=] from the Creator/StephenKing novel ''Literature/{{Firestarter}}'' is a pyrokinetic. She can set pretty much anything on fire, even fireproof materials, and doesn't appear to have limits; her problem is ''[[PowerIncontinence stopping]]''.** Also, from the same author, ''Carrie'' had various powers, including psychokinesis and pyrokinesis.** According to the OtherWiki, this is the book that coined the term 'pyrokinesis'.* The Flame in ''Literature/TalesOfAnMazingGirl''.* Among the most commonly used spells in the ''SwordOfTruth'' series is Wizard's Fire, which acts a lot like napalm. Used to greatest effect in the sixth book, where [[TheMentor Zedd]] and another wizard decide to show an enemy army "an old fashioned fire fight"; They hurl fireballs the size of houses at the enemy army, killing thousands in moments.* Lavan Firestorm from ''[[HeraldsOfValdemar Brightly Burning]]''. He even has to get mad before his powers will manifest at first; fiery temper, indeed...** Elsewhere in the ''Valdamar'' stories, it's mentioned that self-taught magic users typically figure out how to call fire as their first spell. An evil wizard uses this tendency to set a trap at one point...* Some of the more powerful vampires in ''Literature/TheVampireChronicles'' have the Fire Gift, which basically amounts to pyrokinesis. In ''Literature/QueenOfTheDamned'', Akasha uses this to [[spoiler: eliminate most of the world's other vampires]] and also [[spoiler: pass the Fire Gift on to Lestat by allowing him to drink her blood.]]* In ''Literature/CodexAlera'', firecrafters could generate enormous bursts of flame and heat or otherwise control fires. They also have the ability to evoke powerful emotions in others, such as anger or terror; the best orators in Alera are firecrafters for this exact reason.* In the first ''Literature/TheKingdomKeepers'' book, tossing fireballs is [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Maleficent's]] perferred methold of attack. It's especially strange since [[EvilIsDeathlyCold she's described as freezing the ground where she walks]].* In ''Literature/MysticAndRider'' and its sequels, Senneth has enormous power to light and put out fire and is constantly warm. She [[spoiler:loses her power in the fourth book]] but [[spoiler:regains enough of it to light a small flame or, by the fifth book, put out all the lights in a room.]]* In ''TheGuardians'', Each Guardian has a unique [[PersonalityPowers Gift]] related to their life. Alejandro's Gift is creating, manipulating, and shielding from fire, which works well in tandem with his ex-lover's Gift of [[ExtraOreDinary metal]].* In Creator/RobertEHoward's ''The Hour of the Dragon'', Zeiata uses fire to show ConanTheBarbarian what happened in his realm in his absence.* In the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series, it's strongly suggested that Albus Dumbledore's weapon of choice is fire. Amongst other things, he uses fire to intimidate the young [[spoiler: Tom Riddle]] and to fight off the [[spoiler: Inferi guarding the fake locket]] in ''The Half-Blood Prince''.* Many Adepts in the Savage Empire book have pyrokinetic talents.* Leo from ''TheHeroesOfOlympus'' is one of the few sons of Hephaestus to have the ability to create and control fire.* In ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'', all goblins can generate fireballs at will. While their skin and internal surfaces open to the air (such as the inside of the nose and moth) are entirely fireproof, they can still be damaged when the fireballs detonate (as demonstrated in the first book when a goblin sucks a fireball up his nose in order to blow it right back out but is thwarted when his nostrils are blocked and the fireball explodes inside his oral-nasal cavity).* The first [[OurZombiesAreDifferent screamer]] we see in the web-novel ''Literature/{{Domina}}'' has this power. She doesn't use it much, though--probably because she's a near-mindless zombie.* Pyromancy is one of the "legal" magical schools in ''ShadowOps''. It is also one of the most powerful and destructive schools, though it lacks any of the other elemental schools' versatility. All a pyromancer can do is create flame in various amounts and generate mindless fire elementals, though their ability to do so makes them one of the more valued schools if only through sheer, literal firepower.* Fire is the second Elemental Magic that each of the twins learns in ''TheSecretsOfTheImmortalNicholasFlamel''. Sophie learns it in the second book from the Comte St Germain and Josh learns it in the fourth book from Prometheus (yes [[GreekMythology that one]]). It's also revealed that Prometheus's fiery Aura [[spoiler: brought the very first humans to life]].* ''Literature/TrappedOnDraconica'': Daniar can breathe fire because she's a dragokin, i.e. a human blessed with dragon powers. ** ''Literature/LegacyOfTheDragokin'': [[LamarckWasRight Her son can do it too and for the same reason.]]* Fire Masters/Mages in the ''Literature/ElementalMasters'' series by MercedesLackey. Most of them end up married to [[BlowYouAway Air Masters]], as those two elements are strong allies and very compatible, since Air feeds Fire.* In ''Literature/DestinedToLead'' all feas can technically unlock this power and use it, but Kajiya seems particularly found of it as a self-defense technique. Well, when battling [[GiantSpiders spiedes]] at least.* The [[MagicFromTechnology Sharra Matrix]] in the ''Literature/{{Darkover}}'' series. A powerful [[AmplifierArtifact psychic amplifier]] designed to invoke the Form of Fire, which at least one character claims is a sentient other-dimensional entity, either a PhysicalGod or EldritchAbomination depending on how you look at it. In any case, using the matrix makes the users AxCrazy. In ''The Heritage of Hastur'' some rogue psychics use it to destroy a spaceport.* ''Literature/TheOneWhoStartedFires'', has the title character, [[spoiler:a young girl,]] who can make and control fire. She is not immune to it.* ''[[Literature/AMagesPower A Mage's Power]]'': The first spell Eric learns is FireBall. It's supposed to be a simple one for beginning mages. During the RescueArc, he upgrades to the more impressive ""Flame Wave".* ''Literature/FancyApartments'' has Tisa the jinn and her elemental control of fire. Tisa also, when in jinn form, has flaming [[FireballEyeballs eyes]] and [[FlamingHair hair]].* Hector Hell in ''Literature/DevilsCape'' is this, having been the fire-eater before his [[CircusOfFear carnival troupe]] developed their powers.* Braze from ''Literature/RainbowDashAndTheDaringDoDoubleDare'', has pyromantic abilities, and is able to create ropes made of fire. He can also apparently control how hot they are, since he can tie up ponies with said ropes without burning them to death.* ''Literature/VampireAcademy'':** Christian Ozera's main power. He is a fire user. His first impressive feat is setting the clothes of Ralf Sarcozy on fire, scaring but not hurting him. He later uses his fire powers to kill Strigoi.** Tasha Ozera's brand of magic. She uses her fire powers in an offensive way.[[/folder]][[folder:Live Action TV]]* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': D'Hoffryn has this power. Poor Halfrek.* Cassie in ''Series/TheSecretCircle'' uses dark magic to set Luke on fire.* ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'': Callisto [[spoiler:(she was a god)]] is a [[http://i2.listal.com/image/947820/500full.jpg perfect]] [[http://www.xena.nu/callistogod.JPG example]] of this trope in both supernatural power and firey temper. * ''Series/{{Heroes}}'':** Claire's biological mother, Meredith, and her brother Flint (whose flames are blue, and thus more powerful. Meredith's burn red; however, she has more control. Flint is as thick as two short planks fixed together with stupid glue).** Mrs. Comey lives at the Sullivan Bros. Carnival. She has the power to generate intense heat from her hands, which she [[MundaneUtility uses to make waffles without plugging in a waffle iron]]. The Carnival also employs the Bowmans, a family of three people (father, mother, and daughter) that can all breathe fire.* There are a number of examples from ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', with [[Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman Ryouma/GingaRed]] and [[Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger Takeru/ShinkenRed]] leading the list.* ''Franchise/KamenRider'' also has some examples; notably, [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Kuuga's]] Mighty Form (and all its offshoots), [[Series/KamenRiderAgito Agito's]] Flame Form and Burning Form, [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ryuki]], [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Garren]], [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Hibiki]], [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Kiva's]] Garulu Form, Series/KamenRiderDouble's Heat Forms, Series/KamenRiderOOO's [=TaJaDor=] Combo, and Series/KamenRiderFourze's Fire States.* Most demons in ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' throw fireballs. Phoebe also had this power in her past life.* ''Series/TheMysticKnightsOfTirNaNog'': Rohan ("fire within me!").* Chen Ho Win on [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD Agents of SHIELD]], in the episode [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E5GirlInTheFlowerDress "Girl In The Flower Dress"]]. Based on a fairly obscure MarvelComics character.* A couple of Cortexiphan guinea pigs on ''Series/{{Fringe}}'' develop pyrokinesis.* Dani in ''Series/{{Believe}}'', perhaps a physical manifestation of her anger as she has very powerful PsychicPowers.[[/folder]][[folder:Music]]* Music/LindseyStirling's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf6LD2B_kDQ Elements]]" features a lot of fire that she dances around, based in a frame quickly constructed from Home Depot materials. * Rammstein. Shows include flamethrowers, fire-shooting masks, massive fireballs errupting from the stage, instruments shooting sparks or bursting into flames... One of their most famous gags involves singer Till Lindemann rising from stage engulfed in fire. And they would use that in their ''opening'' number.* DJ the S' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n_sq7RubUM Disciple of the Fire]]" is a compilation remix of Fire-based themes from video games.[[/folder]][[folder:Mythology And Religion]]* Hephaestus from GreekMythology is the god of fire, as well as the god of the forge. Sometimes, the three solar dieties (Hyperion, Helios, and Apollo) also are associated with Fire, if not with [[LightEmUp Light]]. Also, a well-known myth tells of the Titan Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods to give to mankind.* Surtr, Lord of the Fire Giants from NorseMythology. Also, sometimes, Loki.* The goddesses Sekhmet and Wadjet and various serpents of the Duat (underworld) in Myth/EgyptianMythology.* Pele. [[IThoughtItMeant No, not the soccer player.]] The fire/volcano goddess of Hawaiian Mythology.* The traditional [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon]] of myth and legend is a creature who can breathe fire.* Elijah from ''Literature/TheBible'' was notable to use a few fire-related thaumaturgy. Some of em also counts as KillItWithFire.[[/folder]][[folder:Pinball]]* Done in Creator/{{Bally}}'s classic ''Pinball/{{Fireball}}'', where you challenge the Fire Gods in pinball using fireballs.* In Creator/{{Gottlieb}}'s ''Pinball/StreetFighterII'' pinball, shooting a ball into Dhalsim's saucer rewards a Flame bonus.* The bosses Tower and The Magician from ''VideoGame/ThePinballOfTheDead'' throw fireballs.[[/folder]][[folder:Professional Wrestling]]* Wrestling/{{WWE}}'s Wrestling/{{Kane}} has a great love of fire, though whether he's a pyrokinetic or just a pyromaniac tends to vary based on how realistic he's being played at the moment.* In his wilder and younger days, MickFoley was known to do some fire-based stunts, including what he himself calls the incredibly stupid innovation of the Fire Chair--a metal folding chair wrapped in a flaming, gas-soaked rag, and used as a club. He swore off this gimmick after nearly killing Terry Funk with it, but has played with fire from time to time since, most notably in his WrestleMania match with Edge.* WWE/F tried to create a fire-based gimmick match, the Inferno. While this looked cool, it made the match a bore, since the wrestlers were effectively trapped in the ring, and were taking too-obvious care to avoid the open flames.* Throwing "fireballs" (actually just flash paper) at an opponent was an occasional heel trick in the 70s and 80s, perhaps most notably used by JerryLawler. Often there is no Kayfabe explanation for it.* The infamous 1992 Wrestling/{{FMW}} Atsushi Onita & Tarzan Goto vs Wrestling/{{Sabu}} & [[Wrestling/EdFarhat Original Sheik]] no rope barbed wire death match, often held up as an argument against GarbageWrestling (or at least the horrific extremes of overdoing it), where the Sheik tried to burn his opponents with a flaming stick and ended up setting the ring on fire. The men then tried to wrestle but not a minute into the match the ring started to melt, causing them to all panic and dive out under the flames...except for the Sheik himself, who caught on fire and chastised Sabu for using water to reduce his burns because it prevented him from throwng {{fire balls}} at what he thought was the perfect time.[[/folder]][[folder:Tabletop Games]]* Oddly enough for a {{Mons}} setting, {{Mortasheen}} has only two of these: [[http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/smoldron.htm Smoldron]]and [[http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/thermalunk.htm Thermalunk]]. Presumably because of the fact that most monsters can use these powers via PsychicPowers.* One of the most common elemental damage powers in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', with such favorites as the Wizard's Burning Hands, Fireball, Flaming Sword, and Fire Trap spells, the red dragon's breath weapon, and so on.** The pyrokineticist prestige class embodies this trope.** Strangely enough, the ''Druid'' class is prone to this trope, gaining spells like Produce Flame, Flame Sphere, and Flame Blade within their first few spell levels. If that's not enough, Wild Shape lets them take the forms of elementals, including, yes, FIRE.** Ironically, fire is also the most commonly resisted damage type, leading it to being shunned by dedicated powergamers in 3rd edition in favor of [[MakeMeWannaShout sonic damage]].* The Path of the Brilliant Flame fu path from ''TabletopGame/FengShui'' essentially gives you fiery kung fu powers. And fire is one of the most common Blast powers that a sorcerer can use.* [[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=109752 Jaya Ballard, Task Mage]] of ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'', best known for providing the flavor text for [[http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mc55 many cards]].** Also, Chandra Nalaar, her disciple of sorts.* Jaina Stormborne from the ''Fantasy Strike'' games sets ''herself'' on fire in addition to the usual flame attacks. In TabletopGame/{{Yomi}}, she also sets the arena floor on fire.* The ''Firestarter'' Battlemech from ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' is dedicated to the role, mounting four fusion-powered flamethrowers.* Eldar of ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' who embrace the Fire Dragon Aspect do so to embrace uncontrolled destruction and mayhem. Appropriately, they grab the biggest fusion gun they can find as their weapon of choice.** Ork Burnaboyz tend to be rather obsessed with setting things on fire, carrying large famethrowers and sometimes etting other boyz on fire to see em "do da burny dance".** The Inquisition loves flame-spewing weapons, allowing for easy execution of BurnTheWitch.** Signature weapons of the Adepta Sororitas.** It seems a lot of psykers like this now, since 6th edition adds in Pyromancy as a universal psychic power pool, as an option for many races that use psychic powers. It all depends on the player, really.* Its Fantasy counterpart ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' has an the Lore of Fire, an entire school of spells specifically that use Fire.* In ''[[TabletopGame/SeventhSea 7th Sea]]'', there is the rare sorcery "El Fuego Adentro" of Castille, where a practitioner can create and wield fire. Just don't let the [[CorruptChurch Inquisition]] find out...* In HeavyGear, the ''Flammjager'' gear was not only a specialised incendiary mecha, but its pilots had a (justified) reputation as Pyromaniacs.* The Pyrokinetic mutant ability in ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}''. Of course, [[CrapsackWorld this]] [[TotalPartyKill being]] ''[[KillerGameMaster Paranoia]]'', if it's actually helping at any point, the GM will probably cause the pyrokinetic to cook off the grenades he's carrying or otherwise inflict [[HilarityEnsues hilarity]] on the hapless fellow.* ''TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu''. The Great Old One Cthugha and his Fire Vampire servants can perform fire-based attacks.[[/folder]][[folder:Toys]]* There's several subspecies with this power in Franchise/{{Bionicle}}, though some of the more notable characters are Tahu, Vakama, and Jaller. More often than not, they're TheLeader of their group.* The Infernites from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}''. They habitat the Magma Wastelands and are one of the headliner tribes. They include Flain, Vulk, and Zorch. Wave 4 later introduced a second group of more lava-based members: Burnard, Flamzer, and Meltus.[[/folder]][[folder:Video Games]]* ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' and ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' give you several flame-based powers. Against the 80% of enemies who aren't [[MechaMooks robots]], these are the deadliest attacks in the games.** Incinerate: [[AnAdventurerIsYou Engineer and Infiltrator]] Shepard each get this as one of their basic powers, as do Mordin in the second game and [[spoiler:EDI]] in the third. Miranda gains it in the final DLC.** [[AbnormalAmmo Incendiary Ammo]]: given to Soldier and Vanguard Shepard, as well as Grunt and Jacob in the second game and James in the third.** Inferno Grenade: Zaeed's bonus power in the second game, which you can give to Shepard after you unlock it, and one of Ashley's powers in the third game.** In the third game, Engineer Shepard's heavy melee move is him/her stabbing the enemy with a ''flaming omni-blade.''** Also, in the third game, one of the upgrades for the Sentry Turret power (possessed by Engineer Shepard) gives it a flamethrower.* ''Franchise/BioShock''** The incinerate plasmid from ''VideoGame/BioShock1'' lets you set fire to your enemies with a snap of your fingers. The chemical thrower with napalm ammo has similar effects. ** The "Devil's Kiss" vigor of ''VIdeoGame/BioshockInfinite'' lets you toss a fireball out like a grenade. There are also the [[EliteMook Firemen]] you fight from time to time, who carry a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQmJtLU6V5g personality]] as fiery as their attacks.* The Igniter from ''BloodlineChampions'', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin expectedly]].* Kyo Kusanagi, his father Saisyu, Iori Yagami, Ash Crimson, and most of the Kyo clones from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''. K', particularly.** Orochi Chris (but not Chris ''as'' Orochi) used fire, too, cementing him as the New Faces Team's Kyo counterpart.** Shingo Yabuki, Kyo's protege, is under the impression that he can actually "shoot fire" under certain conditions, but he totally can't.** Sho Kirishima, the original concept version of Kyo, has similar abilities (and a more exaggerated personality).** Mai Shiranui.** Also, one of Kyo's strongest moves involve him being a ManOnFire, and if an opponent stands close to him before he launches the attack (since the attack can be held), they get damage - even more if their moves are countered. If Kyo's opponent takes that attack head on and gets countered - it's enough for a KO. Then again, who takes that attack head-on...* Lucca from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger''.* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' has this in the form of Pyromancy. Unlike [[MagicIsMental Sorcery]] or [[ShockAndAwe Miracles]], Pyromancy Flames don't scale with any stats but their own level, and also have various support spells, like [[AwesomeButImpractical Power Within]] or [[MightyGlacier Iron Flesh]]. Due to this, it remains consistently useful throughout the game as long as the flame is upgraded frequently, often dealing more damage than high-level Sorceries in the late game.* [[RobotGirl Mei Fang's]] default Arcana from ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart''.* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':** All the games allow you to use spells from the school of Destruction, which includes the whole FireIceLightning trio, but fire is the most cost-effective. ** In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'', you shoot fireballs.** In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'', you shoot, well, fireballs.** In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', you can shoot fireballs, emit a constant stream of fire from the palm of your hand, lay fire rune traps, enchant your weapons to do fire damage and cause a huge explosion by hitting the ground with your fist. You can even ''breathe'' fire if you find the Word Wall that contains the Dragon Shout (or [[spoiler:learn it from Paarthurnax]]).* Sure, psyblasts and levitation are probably more useful than pyrokinesis, but setting squirrels on fire with your mind is one of the best parts of ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}''.* Billy Kane in ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' can channel fire through his bo staff. Ironically, he hates smoking.** In ''Fatal Fury 2'', Mai Shiranui comes in with an arsenal of flame-based attacks, which she has retained since.** And then there's Kim Jae Hoon and Kevin....* Stahn Aileron from ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny'' thanks to the Swordian Dymlos, who also specialized in fire when he was still human. His son, Kyle Dunamis, is surprisingly more variative in element.** Ruca Milda from ''VideoGame/TalesOfInnocence''.** Amber Hearts from ''VideoGame/TalesOfHearts''.** Largo and Guy's Mystic Artes from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss''** Alvin from ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' can use all six elements, but his strongest attacks and his mystic arte use fire. Milla is supposedly a master of all elements but specializes in fire alongside wind, light, and lightning[[note]]Fire and Wind combined[[/note]] Agria of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Chimeriad]] is the fire specialist in their FourElementEnsemble and [[BigBad Gaius]] uses a fire-themed mystic arte despite his main element being light.* Three characters from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'': ArrogantKungFuGuy Hwang Yang Long and his Fire Elemental Lord Granveil from ''SRW Gaiden: Masou Kishin'' (also ''SRW EX''), AxCrazy Ignis and his Ruina mecha Impetus from ''SRW: Destiny'', and, finally, AloofBigBrother Altis Tarl of the Shura and his Shura God Mardikt.* Yukimura Sanada, Shingen, Nohime, Chosokabe Motochika, Toshiie Maeda, Magoichi Saika, Hisahide Matsunaga, and Xavi from ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''. [[JokeCharacter Hideaki Kobayakawa]] may count as well.* Fire is the element that draws from the Red Moon in ''SkiesOfArcadia'', and it also provides status buffs. [[TheHero Vyse]] has the second-weakest magical power in the game (the weakest being [[MightyGlacier Drachma]]), but he can learn all of the fire spells quicker than the others. And though Aika learns [[GreenThumb nature spells]] the quickest, all of her Super Moves are fire-based.* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' has Mario and Luigi. Grabbing a [[PowerUp Fire Flower]] allows them to shoot fireballs from their hands, giving an alternative to the GoombaStomp. In ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'', Mario uses the Firebrand power, giving him the ability to shoot fire without a Fire Flower.* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''** Both Mario and Luigi can shoot fireballs (Luigi's are green). Mario's Final Smash in ''Brawl'' is a pair of fireballs in the form of a KamehameHadoken.** Bowser can breathe fire, while both Roy and Ike can deliver fire-powered slashes with their swords. [[VideoGame/{{F-Zero}} Captain Falcon]] uses his punch instead.** [[{{Pokemon}} Charizard]] qualifies, being a Fire-type Pok�mon.* Lee Rekka and Kagami (who even uses one of Kyo's signature attacks and resembles Kyo a great deal) from ''VideoGame/TheLastBlade'' series.* Axel/Lea from ''KingdomHearts'' ** Also, Mulan's skills and Limit Break are all fire-based, due to being used along with Mushu. Mushu himself was a fire-based Summon in the first game.* Blaze the Cat from ''SonicTheHedgehog''.** Sonic himself in ''VideoGame/SonicColors'', through the use of the DS-exclusive Red Wisp that gives him the power to turn into a fireball, much like the fire shield from ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles''.* In Capcom's ''Franchise/MegaMan'' series, this trope is applied to fire-oriented Robot Master. Such as Fire Man from the first game, Heat Man from ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'', etc.** Fefnir from ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' and, by extension, Mega Man Model F from ''VideoGame/MegaManZX''.** And also the net navi versions of the above robot masters from MegaManBattleNetwork and the fire lion power up from ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'', which is also called Fire Leo (not related to the one listed below).** And from ''VideoGame/MegaManX'', there's Flame Mammoth, Flame Stag, Magma Dragoon, Mattrex/Burn Dinorex, Blaze Heatnix, Flame Hyenard, and Burn Rooster. ''X3'' is the only game in the series without a fire-elemental boss.* Fire Leo from ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe''. Joe himself gets fire powers from using his fast forward ability.* Main character Batsu Ichimonji from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' has a SuperMode in the sequel ''Project Justice'', [[HotBlooded Burning]] Batsu, which gives his ki fire-like properties.** Hinata, being a student of [[StreetFighter Master's style Karate]], has flame-like properties in many of her attacks.* Sol Badguy from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''.** Also, several other characters bust out with the occasional fire attack; Robo-Ky, Axl, Faust, Potemkin, and Bridget all have fire attacks. Sol's the most common, as almost all of his special moves light opponents on fire.* Bang Shishigami from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue''. His Drive attack is pretty much the only thing in the game that sets the enemy ablaze. ''Chronophantasma'' introduces Bullet, who has the pyrokinetic gauntlet armagus.* Ifrit from most ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games is the living incarnation of PlayingWithFire.** [[ThePhoenix Phoenix]], another Summon, burns your enemies while simultaneously reviving/healing allies.** Terra from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' specializes in fire magic, learning Fire/Fira/Firaga and Meltdown naturally** Sazh of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' gets the Fire line of spells most readily, including Firaga, while getting no direct Water or Blizzard spells at all. His summon, Brynhildr, is fire-based as well.** Seifer from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' specializes in using fire magic, starting every one of his LimitBreak attacks with a fire spell.** In the {{Dissidia}} series, Cloud specializes in the Fire line of spells, since, unlike nearly other character with black magic spells, Cloud *only* uses the Fire line, and is the one of the few characters in the game to have more than one or two tiers of a spell line.* The ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'' series have their fair share of fire-starters:** Kirby's Adventure introduced recurring foes Flamer, Hot Head, Fire Lion, and (one half of the Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright duo) Mr. Bright.** Burning Leo and Fire Kirby from ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar''.* Kazuki, Kyoshiro, and Tam Tam from ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown''. Kazuki's special moves all involve fire (except for Bust Kazuki, which is more about exploding), breathing fire is one of Kyoshiro's signature special moves, and Tam Tam can also cough up fireballs of varying intensity. Sieger's moves sometimes burn opponents, but that's because his gauntlet uses gunpowder.* While the Pyro from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' usually ''attacks'' with a flamethrower, two of his taunts (Hadoken and Armageddon) have him seemingly creating fire from his own body.* Ignus from ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'', who has been turned into a living conduit to the Plane of Fire. And ''likes it''.* Dhalsim from the ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'' series breathes fire as one of his special moves. His ability comes as a gift of Agni, the Hindu god of fire.** Ken likes to set opponents ablaze with his Dragon Punch, while Fei Long does the same with his Dragon Kick.** In some games, Ryu can produce fire Hadokens as well.** Crimson Viper from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' uses both fire and [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] in her special attack arsenal.** Akuma can produce the flame-encrusted Hadoken (in the regular StreetFighter games) or Shoryuken (in the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' series).** Gill, when he hits you with the fire half part of his body (the other half is [[AnIcePerson ice]]).* Liu Kang from ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' is fond of mixing fireballs with his Shaolin-style kung fu.** Scorpion is fond of breathing fire (especially as a fatality).** Sonya Blade is also known for setting opponents ablaze with her signature fatality.** Shang Tsung and his penchant for hurling flaming skulls at people and sending gouts of fire shooting up at people during his fights (when he's not morphing into other fighters, that is).* Garet and Jenna are the Mars Adepts[[note]]individuals utilizing fire-based [[PsychicPowers Psynergy]][[/note]] present in ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' and ''Golden Sun: The Lost Age'', with [[FieryRedhead fiery personalities and red hair]], to boot. The villainous duos of each game (Saturos and Menardi in the first game; Agatio and Karst in the second game), hailing from a fire-wielding clan, also fall under this trope. The third game, ''GoldenSunDarkDawn'', has Garet's son Tyrell [[{{Pun}} picking up the torch]] alongside Eoleo, who's element was previously something of a mystery.* In ''{{Pokemon}}'', Kanto Gym Leader Blaine, Hoenn Gym Leader Flannery, Sinnoh Elite 4 member Flint, Unova Gym Leader Chili and Kalos Elite 4 member Malva all specialize in using Fire-type {{Mons}}. All Fire-type Pok�mon also qualify, with certain Pok�mon capable of using Fire-type ''moves'' like Flamethrower despite not being actual Fire-types (such as the Dragon Pok�mon Dragonite).** Several Legendary Pok�mon are pure or part-Fire type, such as Ho-Oh, Moltres, Entei, Heatran, Reshiram, etc. Groudon from ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'' is technically Ground-type, but still has something of a fire theme going, with moves like Eruption and being associated with lava and volcanoes, as well as the ability Drought that summons permanent sunlight to boost Fire-type moves. Groudon's Mega Evolution makes it Ground/Fire in the VideoGameRemake of ''Ruby and Sapphire''.* [[ArrowsOnFire Fire arrows]] are used by Link in three ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' games, with a fourth having Link rained on by arrows himself. ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' also had the Din's Fire magic. The Fire Rod is another example.* From ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'':** In general, Agi skills are some of the most common skills throughout the entire franchise. Depending on the game, you may get a fourth-tier, single-target fire spell either called Ragnarok or Trisagion.** Walter from ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'' is fond of using fire spells when he's not using physical attacks.** [[MeaningfulName Heat]] from ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'', who also happens to be a FieryRedhead.** [[TheHero Tatsuya Suou]] from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'', whose Persona is Vulcanus.** Junpei Iori from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' has some fire magic with his persona and is strong against fire spells, although he mostly uses physical attacks.** Koro-chan, the dog from the same game, applies as well. Although it is meant to be [[DarkIsEdgy another kind of specialist]], you would probably see him PlayingWithFire in most boss battles.** Yukiko Amagi from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' also has fire magic with her persona, but unlike Junpei, she focuses herself more on magic power, thus her fire magic usually does more damage. With Yukiko, it's particularly ironic, as her name means "snow child".* Pyron from the ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' games is a GalacticConqueror who is basically a walking star and, accordingly, is ''made'' of fire.* Garr from ''BreathOfFireIII'' is naturally strong to fire (taking half normal damage from it) and has a few fire-related abilities. Considering that he looks like a demon, it probably fits the theme.* Several examples in ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'':** [[{{Immortality}} Fujiwara no Mokou]] is a human embodiment of a [[ThePhoenix phoenix]] and, in a few attacks, flings massive [[AnimalMotifs bird-shaped]] flame danmaku, flame bombs which have huge range, and simply tries to overwhelm you with fire.** [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Kaguya Houraisan]], Mokou's deadly rival and fellow immortal, also has fire-related attacks, courtesy of her "[[ImpossibleTask impossible items]]" [[TheCollector collection]].** [[SquishyWizard Patchouli Knowledge]] uses fire as one of her [[ElementalPowers seven elements]]. She also has a [[ThePowerOfTheSun solar element]] attack called Royal Flare which does basically the same thing on a grander scale.** [[CreepyCrows Hell raven]] Utsuho Reiuji in ''Subterranean Animism'' may also count, as she launches ''massive'' mini-suns at you.** [[{{Catgirl}} Rin Kaenbyou]] from the same game also has control over fire (and zombies). For that matter, the entire Komeiji household is tasked with ''controlling HellFire''.** [[PersonOfMassDestruction Flandre Scarlet]] has [[NorseMythology L�vateinn]], which takes form of a [[FlamingSword flaming]] {{BFS}}.** [[{{Onmyoudo}} Mononobe no Futo]] briefly shows it during one of her spellcards, as part of her "manipulation of Feng Shui" power.* ''CityOfHeroes'' includes a fire-based set for pretty much everything - melee, ranged, buffs and debuffs, control...** There's also the Hellions, the demonically-themed gang of pyromaniacs you start off fighting against. [[{{Mook}} Blood Brothers]] and [[EliteMook Fallen]] have resistance to fire, while bosses from this gang have full-on pyrokinesis.* Warlocks and Mages in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' both have a talent tree that specialises in fire damage. Shamans have some fire spells as well, although they primarily use lightning magic. Fire mages also tend to have much less survivability than Frost.** Ragnaros the Firelord and his fire elemental minions. His plane is even called the Firelands.* One of the Elementalist skill sets in ''GuildWars'' is Fire Magic, though it's the most single-minded skillset of the class, focusing on one thing: damage, and in large quantities.* BlackMagicianGirl Cierra from ''RivieraThePromisedLand'' can use all kinds of magic, but her most powerful attacks are fire-based.* [[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Adell]] and [[VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice Raspberyl]] from the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' series specialize in fire techniques. Red Skull and Mage classes also use fire spells.** The Dragon, Entei, and Ifrit monster classes all specialize in fire attacks, as well (save for the first game, where the former two used attacks of whatever element they had an affinity for). The Dragon mostly uses it as a BreathWeapon, while the latter two manipulate it in a more spectacular fashion.* Burn Griffith and Regina Belfrond of ''VideoGame/PsychicForce''.* Subverted in ''{{Tsukihime}}'' with Akiha. The description of her power mentions the burning sensation as though you're on fire and that, if you can see it, it looks like thin burning red lines coming at you. She's [[{{Tsundere}} a bit]] of a FieryRedhead when using her power and is also prone to 'kill it now ask questions later'. However, her power is actually something called Plunder and ''apparently'' involves the absorption of life energy itself.* Genesis Rhapsodos, the BigBad of ''CrisisCore -VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII-'' is an extremely skilled fire magic user.* Xan, the Pyromancer from ''VideoGame/DragonFable''. To emphasize his love of fire and his AxCrazy nature, a quest lets you control him. Here's his command list:--->Attack (with Fists of Fire)--->Fire--->More Fire--->Lots of Fire--->Even More Fire--->OMGBBQ?!** Later on, he reanimates the Great Dragon of Fire using the power gained from the Orb of Fire.** His apprentice Drakonnan gets in on the action by upping his fire power with the Orb of Fire. While Xan can be entertaining due to his craziness, Drakonnan has a thing for RevengeByProxy. [[DracoInLeatherPants Yet oh how the fan girls spring to Drakonnan's defense...]]* Fire is a powerup in many ''BackyardSports'' games.* Dison in [[VideoGame/VisionsAndVoices Visions & Voices]] specializes in Fire skills.* All the units with some sort of firepower in the ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' games. Given that warfare is a major aspect and firepower is prevalent for most offensive units, some really are adept at the term. Look at the Flame Tanks and Flamethrower Infantry in ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianDawn Tiberian Dawn]]''. Not only do they dish out massive damage at enemy infantries, but when your unit with flammable weaponry is killed, it goes up in massive flames, thus inflicting moderate damage on nearby units and structures, whether friend, foe, or neutral. This trait is also noticeable on GDI Grenadiers, but the resulting explosion is of a lesser degree. It makes a comeback in the Flame Towers, Flamethrower Infantry, and Grenadiers of the Soviet faction in ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert Red Alert]]''. In the Aftermath expansion, the Demolition Truck is available as a deliberate suicide unit; get these suicide bombing trucks out of your base right when you can, because once it explodes, the explosion is of a massive size.* Karnov, Russian strongman and one-time mascot of Data East, breathes fire.* Every single boss in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'' except King K Rool. Really, even the fish boss shoots quick barrages of fireballs as it's main attack. Usually in combination with lasers.* In ''Franchise/DragonAge'', all mages can learn fire spells if the player chooses, but a few stand out.** Velanna in "[[VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening Awakening]]" starts off with all Fire spells unlocked. This may count as a bit of ActorAllusion, as she shares her [[GreyDelisle voice actress]] with another [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender master of fire magic]].** Bethany in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' starts with the Fireball spell and uses fire the most frequently in cutscenes.** Solas in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' is the only companion with access to the [[LimitBreak Firestorm spell]].* Amaterasu in ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}''. Her signature weapon is a flaming disc she carries on her back; she ''is'' the Goddess of the Sun, after all. She also gains the power to control fire from the God of Fire, Moegami.* In ''MarvelVsCapcom3'', [[ComicBook/{{X-Men}} Phoenix]], [[Comicbook/DoctorStrange Dormammu,]] and [[VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins Arthur]] specialize in Fire attacks.* Nix in ''VideoGame/{{inFAMOUS 2}}'' has powers over fire and oil, which Cole can actually gain a bit of if he decides to do a power transfer with her.** Delsin from ''VideoGame/InfamousSecondSon'' has fire/smoke powers as the first one he starts off with.* Whichever of the 3 main characters that inherits the True Fire Rune from "The Flame Champion" in ''SuikodenIII''.* Soki from ''[[{{Onimusha}} Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams.]]''* Aya from ''InfiniteUndiscovery''* Zorne from ''{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'' manifests this power in the form of creating [[StuffBlowingUp bo]][[ThrowDownTheBomblet mbs]].* In ''VideoGame/TheTowerOfDruaga'', sorcerers cast spells that start fires.* Plasmagenetic creatures from ''VideoGame/DarkSpore'' are a mixture between this trope and ShockAndAwe.* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' has quite a few, as the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylFzJ3wRgHw opening movie shows.]]** [=PCs=] can learn the art of Pyromancy, though its control of the fire also branches into such effects as gaining fire resistance through sweating, acid, and charming the Undead.* Goenji Shuuya (Axel [[MeaningfulName Blaze]]) from ''InazumaEleven'' is a fire elemental ''soccer player'', who takes this trope up by creating fire tornadoes and summoning fire gigas-like effects during his special shoots.* Pyrrhon in ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' is the Sun God, so his entire body is engulfed in fire. For his moves and actions, think like [[Comicbook/GhostRider Johnny Blaze]] but much more [[SoBadItsGood cheesy]].* Ignitus, the Fire Guardian from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro''. An elderly dragon who serves as Spyro's mentor and father figure who is capable of blasting all of his enemies away by exploding with fire!* Aurora in ''VideoGame/BlackSigil''. Also [[spoiler:Doll]], who can use all elements.* Not counting skins, there are 3 fire based Champions in ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends''.** [[ChildMage Annie, the Dark Child]] has various fire spells and a [[BearsAreBadNews giant]] [[IncendiaryExponent flaming]] bear called [[FluffyTheTerrible Tibbers]]** Brand, the Burning Vengeance, a [[GlassCannon high damage mage]] with nothing but damaging fire spells** [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons Shyvana, the Half-Dragon]], [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin being what she is]] allows for a lot of [[BreathWeapon fire breathing]], even more when she uses her ultimate ability to [[VoluntaryShapeshifting morph into a dragon]]. * ''VideoGame/DefenseOfTheAncients'':** Lina, the Slayer, already based on [[LightNovel/{{Slayers}} Lina Inverse]], specializes in hot, burning fire magic, with her quotes mostly about fire. Strangely, her ultimate is instead [[ShockAndAwe lightning elemental]].** [[ThePhoenix The literally-named Phoenix]] also comes with fire power.** Batrider carries several explosives that explodes, can leave a trail of burning fire on his path, or tie an enemy up and drag them with fire lasso.** Bone Clinkz, the Bone Fletcher, comes with the skill to set his arrows on fire, adding extra damage.* In ''VideoGame/AWitchsTale'', Lyra's doll ability is to cast a powerful Volc spell.* Maxim specializes in the fire element in ''VideoGame/LufiaCurseOfTheSinistrals''. This is in contrast to [[VideoGame/LufiaIIRiseOfTheSinistrals the original game]], where he could use the basic elements ''except'' for fire for some reason.[[/folder]][[folder:Webcomics]]* Coffinshaker and Fred from ''Webcomic/WhatsShakin''.* [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000608c Bob (or Napalm)]] from ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge''.* Damien from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''.** There is also [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2010-09-22 this guy]]. Although those things only ''look'' like they're made of fire.* [[http://www.karatebears.com/ Karate Bears]] [[http://www.karatebears.com/2011/08/fire-starter.html play with fire]], even though they insist [[http://www.karatebears.com/2010/11/fire.html they didn't start the fire.]]* Sam from ''Webcomic/MoltenBlade''.* [[http://www.thebeastlegion.com/issue-07-page-25-repaying-the-favor/ Fyre]] from ''Webcomic/TheBeastLegion''* Zaebos from ''Webcomic/{{Earthsong}}''.* The titular character from ''Webcomic/{{Nosfera}}'' can throw fireballs.* Kyros from ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'', though he usually winds up causing more harm than good with it due to extreme trigger-happiness.* Infiernos from ''Webcomic/TheIncredibleAndAweInspiringSerialAdventureOfTheAmazingPlasmaMan''* Ane from ''[[http://pumpkinflower.comicgenesis.com Pumpkin Flower]]''.* Cliff and Duster from ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'' have the 'Siara Special'. It's powerful enough to ruin even a high-ranking Angel's afternoon. To a lesser extent, J has a tendency to make anything he touches explode.* Sandra in ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl''. "you, fire!"* Butterfly from ''Webcomic/{{Collar 6}}'' apparently picked up this ability from Trina. She is a somewhat rare case of a non-PyroManiac villain to use this trope.* Richard from ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' has his classic 'Fwoosh'.* In ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'', any drow with a [[ElementalPowers fire affinity]] or a [[PowerCrystal fire foci]] can use this trope. ElementalBaggage, however, is {{Averted}}: fire needs to be present in some form. Therefore, fire-aligned mana users either carry around little burners - "fire pots" - or strike a spark when they require access to flame.** Of the ''Drowtales'' fire users, [[PunctuationShaker Chirinide Val'Kyorl'solenurn]] stands out the most:--->''Chiri:'' [[BadassCreed Monstrousities of the body and hollow of soul! You deserve no pity! You shall be purged]] - [[PunctuatedForEmphasis IN FLAMES!]]* ''Webcomic/{{Panthera}}'': [[AltumVidetur Tigris Ignis]], Tiger of Fire.* [[spoiler:Oasis]] of ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', as seen [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/090612 here]].* ''Webcomic/WaywardSons'': Hestya's powers are pretty much identical to [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm's]], but almost nothing can withstand the heat she gives off while her powers are active. [[{{Fanservice}} Like her clothes, for instance]].* John Henry Hunter in ''Webcomic/NextTownOver''. Aside from being able to produce flames from things like alcohol or matches, he is also able to mess with guns being fired, making it hard for people to shoot him.* In ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'', Antimony soon received a [[AmplifierArtifact Blinker Stone]] and quickly [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=137 learned]] to use it, mostly for [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=412 various]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=628 pyrotechnic]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=621 effects]].

B is the third highest). Renegades Shiva, who is the only character capable of a [[DishingOutDirt second power]], is an unknown low type and Yuma is a type 7 (the lowest is 1, the highest is 10). They all have to have fuel of some kind with them; it's impossible for them to [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/PacificatorsVol3Chapter03n170.jpg generate fire without fuel and oxygen.]] They also [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators2/MangaPacVol4n176c.jpg carry bombs with them]] (only the Elite-ranked Pacificators are allowed to carry liquid fuel with them). ** Having the power of fire isn't all that awesome, though.

She gives [[TeamKiller Friendly Fire]] another meaning, too.[[/folder]][[folder:Web Original]]* From the ''GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'': Heatwave, Starfire, Fire Drake, Ablaze, Firefall, Fireworks, Flashpoint, Inferna, Hotshot, Centigrade (who is also AnIcePerson), Incendie ("Blaze" in French), Mondfeur ("Moonfire" in German), Ulkataranara ("Comet Man" in Hindi), Matahari Merah, Firebird, Playma ("Flame" in Russian), Salamander, Sunfire, Wildfire, Flame, Ifrit, The Confessor, Morningstar, Komet, Molotov, Inferno, Fuoco Bianco ("White Fire" in Italian), Pumpkin Jack, Tourmaline, Pyro, Dragon, and Red Devil.* In the WhateleyUniverse, Fireball. And Sparkler, after she gets her power gauntlets in the first Ayla story.** In "Christmas Elves", Fey quite ''literally'' plays with fire -- and then turns it back on the [[{{Mook}} mooks]] who thought using flamethrowers against the reincarnation of a Sidhe queen on excellent terms with fire elementals back in the day was a good idea.* ''Literature/NewYorkMagician'': [[spoiler:Melooch and his Rider]].* In ''TrintonChronicles'', there is Jay, Sara, Scorch, along with a few other characters who seem to have this power. It's a fairly common supernatural power, it seems.* The [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]] is often associated with fire, whether causing it or just being attracted to it. There's also [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin TheArsonist]] of Blog/DreamsInDarkness.* The Fire-Human, from ''Machinima/WaterHuman''. He literally looks like he's made of fire and might, in fact, be just an ElementalEmbodiment. His servants also have fire spells.* The ''AntiClicheAndMarySueEliminationSociety'''s Tash uses very powerful fire magic, first with a [[MagicStaff staff]], then with a [[CoolSword sword]].* ''WebVideo/{{Chronicles of Syntax}}'' has Shia, who can manipulate her own thermal energy to create and control fire. Unlike some other examples, she's neither a redhead not hotblooded. In fact, she can be quite the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} at times. Unless she's actually trying to kill you, in which case avoiding {{fireballs}} becomes a necessary skill.* Frollo has command over pyrokinetic magic, as well as a fireplace that doubles as a TV and computer, on ''TheFrolloShow''.* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' has a few, most notably Burnscar, a member of the [[SerialKiller Slaughterhouse Nine]], who can create intense fires and teleport between flames. The more fire she uses, however, the more damaged and weakened her emotions get--and she's already pretty unstable, having joined the Nine after escaping from a mental institution.* [[TheSaints Marcus]] is the only mage seen using fire so far, wielding it when [[BigDamnHeroes he rescued the group]] from a mob of [[OurGhostsAreDifferent feral ghosts]].* ''Franchise/{{Noob}}'' has fire elementalists that include Roxana and Pironess, the Phoenix of fire.* [[spoiler:Agent Hu]] from ''Literature/{{Curveball}}'' can become a living pillar of flame ([[RequiredSecondaryPowers asbestos underwear]] [[ClothingDamage not included]]).[[/folder]][[folder:Western Animation]]* Wheeler in ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers''.* Firebenders in the ''[[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]]'' franchise, obviously. The interesting part is that not ''all'' of them fit the hot-tempered mold that usually goes along with fire powers, given that they are an entire ''culture''. Zuko is plenty hot-headed, but his sister Azula is more cold and cunning, which her blue fire [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience reflects.]] Their father Ozai is somewhere in between, while Iroh has the personality of a warm campfire.** Aang, on the other hand, once he accepts that Firebending is not BadPowersBadPeople, comes fairly close to Iroh's version of this, though he does become considerably more focused; it's implied that Firebenders have a tendency to become overly intense and {{Determinator}}s.** The Fire Nation's philosophy of firebending via rage plays a part in their hot-headed tempers; a subset of firebenders who split off from the nation passed onto Iroh, Zuko, and Aang the original, life-affirming form of firebending that averts the need for firebenders to be HotBlooded to [[PsychoactivePowers use their powers]]. It is indicated that this style of firebending allows for far more control than rage-bending does.** Then there's Mako from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', who's pretty much TheStoic ("cool under fire," as a sports announcer puts it). Korra herself fits the HotBlooded stereotype and it's interesting to note that she will default to fire even though she's a Waterbender by birth.* Taranee Cook from ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'', again. Like her comic book self, she is no hothead, instead being reserved and intelligent. Also, before she got her powers, she was ''afraid'' of fire.* Heatblast in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'', [[ComboPlatterPowers Swampfire]] in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce''.* Torrid, the fiery archvillain of the Order of the Triad in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' and a CaptainErsatz of Pyro.* The Decepticon Firecons in ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'', especially the moronic pyromaniac Cindersaur and the even more moronic pyromaniac Flamefeather; Their supervisor, Sparkstalker, not so much, being a strategist at heart.** This also extends to their counterparts in the Japanese continuity, the Sparkdash drones of ''TransformersMasterforce''.** There's also "Hothead" Blitzwing, Jetfire, and Hot Shot in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''.** And before them all came the Dinobots, firebreathers since ''DinosaursAreDragons''.*** Although it's somewhat justified with them because they are robots and [[RuleOfCool nothing says they can't have flamethrowers of doom in their mouths]].** Let's not forget Scourge from ''TransformersCybertron''. Japanese name: [[MeaningfulName Flame Convoy]].

WordOfGod says he has some powers he refuses to use out of {{pride}}. Presumably, this is one of them.* Blossom's special power in ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' is the ability to breathe fire and ice, although it tends to switch depending on the weather and her body temperature.

DPWH uses coco fiber, natural means vs soil erosion
BAGUIO CITY—The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is going back to the basics to protect mountain roads.
They are turning to cheap, natural solutions to prevent soil erosion that perennially damages roads, drainage systems, bridges and mountainsides in the upland region, said Edilberto Carabbacan, DPWH Cordillera director.
This simple solution means growing plants and vegetables, hydroseeding and using coconut fiber nets to hold the slopes, he said. The technology has been tested along the Benguet-Nueva Vizcaya Road in Bokod, Benguet, and the DPWH is replicating it in other provinces.
Carabbacan said Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson wanted to apply this technology in other landslide-prone areas.
The process of protecting slopes starts by spreading coconut fiber nets on a specific area where plants will grow. The nets are held in place by bamboo pegs. Hydroseeding comes next, when organic mixture and seeds are spread in the area to allow plant growth and to act as erosion control.
Carabbacan said landslides and rock slides have been damaging or destroying roads and bridges in the Cordillera during the rainy season.
The recent heavy rains dumped by Typhoon "Gener" and induced by the southwest monsoon had damaged at least P155 million worth of roads in the region, he said. Several road cuts and landslides were reported along Halsema Road in Benguet and Mt. Province and along sections of Kabayan town in Benguet.
In Baguio City, DPWH reports said damage to roads along Marcos Highway was estimated at P23 million when landslides hit sections of the highway when heavy rains hit northern Luzon recently.
"Each region has a peculiar problem when it comes to infrastructure damage. Ours are landslides and road cuts while Mindanao has problems on scouring of bridges and others have problems on flooding. We are coming up with an environment-friendly technology to restore the mountainsides and protect our roads," Carabbacan said.
Angelita Mabitazan, head of the planning and design division of DPWH Cordillera, said coconut fiber nets cost P900 per square meter. The agency is also using marapait (native sunflower) and vetiver grass to protect the mountain slopes, she said.
She said the DPWH is studying other landslide-prone areas in Mt. Province and Ifugao to find out if coconut fiber nets could protect slopes there. Desiree Caluza, Inquirer Northern Luzon

A little Pond I found outside of Phippsburg, Co. in Stagecoach State Park I spent over two hours there trying to get a good picture of a Muskrat that was watching me. In the end, this was the better shot.
