the Pyromantics were one of my fav 80s groups still waiting for the reunion tour

His trait makes him sick. If you use energy explosion, and your opponent has a tendency to group figures together (Swarm attack if you would), this guy has the potential to do 6 clicks of penetrating damage (No damage reducers work). Pretty dang sick.

Better than I spected! Pyro is absolutely great! Although he hasn't mobility, his special power and his stas are amazing! Sharpshooter ability is a awesome added! I only can say that this is GREAT! And sculpt is spectacular!

Got him in a release draft last night, 300pt team was him, stryfe, elsa bloodstone, and roulette.

Won the tourney and Pyro was absolutely my MVP, he took down Juggernaut and the Hulk(though not in the same game)

i pulled him in sealed and my team consisted of bonebreaker, pyro, roullete, madrox, and angel i did allright but pyro with a little perplex from madrox took down pheonix no joke. pheonix wrecked bonebreaker but then missed on pyro and then it only got better for me :D

Just an awesome figure.

Doomed on an indoor map. He's a punk.

His range kills his playability a lot, but is totally comic accurate, and Pyromantic is just too good to pass by. Will benefit A LOT from his boss's TKs.

Pyro can strike fear into the hearts of Thor, Hulk, Superman and so on. That perma-penetrating is a ton of fun to abuse. His range does hinder him, but usually I'll keep him next to Magneto so figures have to get near Mags to try and ping Pyro. Then, I'll sling Pyro around with Mags double tk and start chipping away at everything.

when i first saw him i was kinda like bla but he fits in awesome on a brotherhood team with ur oppoent having to come in close to go after magneto his range wont be as much of an issure ima slap coordination on him so i can see thru my teammates

Not sure what good Sharpshooter does him. Energy Explosion on someone adjacent to you? Take splash damage from your own attack! I guess it lets him target two figures even if based by both. Pretty minor benefit. Not a bad figure overall, just an odd decision to give him that ability.

the other ability (to see through opposing characters, even stealthy ones, is what makes :a-sharpshooter: deadly on pyro) i'd question the sanity of anyone doing EE based to an enemy...unless of course it was the opponents last clix and it was near death and pyro could handle the splash.

Seriously? How about double-targeting an Energy Explosion on a figure and another one hiding behind it, so that both of them take two penetrating damage? Or how about using a ranged attack when you're based by a piece with Combat Reflexes?

Fair points.
