John Allerdyce (Earth-10005)

Pyro had a brief cameo in X-Men, played by Alexander Burton, where he forms a fireball behind his back before Iceman freezes it with his powers. In the sequel, X2: X-Men United, Pyro was played by Aaron Stanford and his role was greatly expanded. Pyro is named John Allerdyce(instead of St. John), and is an(apparently american) teenager at Professor X's school and a friend of Iceman and Rogue. Midway through X2, when the three of them, with Wolverine, escape an attack on the school and retreat to Drake's home in suburban Boston, Pyro is shown examining a series of Drake family fotos with an expression of envy; the commentary hints that it is because he comes from a dysfunctional home. Ultimatelly, Pyro is tempted away from Xavier's influence by Magneto, who observed the young man's ambition and the strength of his powers. Pyro follws Magneto and the shapeshifting Mystique as they escape; the remaining X-Men note Pyro's defection but are too occupied with their own escape to act on it. Pyro subsequently appears in X-Men: The Last Stand as a member of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. In the final battle, he fights Iceman and briefly gains the upper hand; however, Iceman turns himself into solid ice and freezes Pyro's hands, extinguishing his fire. Iceman then headbutts Pyro, knocking him out. Pyro's fate is unknown, although the novelization describes Drake carrying him to safety as the facility around them collapses. His loyalty to Magneto is also firmly established, as he remarks that if Magneto asked it of him, He'd kill Professor Xavier for him.
