CrosshairCollie Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Re: Human Torch vs. Pyro, who wins? That's a mental picture I could live without seeing. To steal a previously used joke, Oddy took Craft Disturbing Mental Image as his feat last level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] It's unclear what he was originally meant to be. The only reference I'm aware of is Blob calling him a 'Limey' in Days of Future Past. But with Claremont's knowledge of other cultures, I wouldn't be surprised if he meant Pyro to be Australian, and just didn't realise what 'Limey' actually meant. -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're British." Yah, guess so. I just don't credit Claremont with that level of subtlety, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got this flamethrower gadg... how'd you?" Johnny: FWACKOOM! Pyro: *smolder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
