History[]
Sanford Kirigi was a high-ranking member of The Hellfire Club, and also the commander and the actual leader of Magneto's brainwashed mutant enforcers. He was injected with V serum by Doctor Nemesis under Magneto's orders, and this caused his hatred and rage upon the human race.
He also happened to be the son of both Leah Monroe and Adrian Toomes, who was known to be a criminal called The Vulture. Out of anger towards the humans due to being brainwashed, he was more loyal to his father for most of the time.
He stayed with his mother during the recent years, up until the events of the series. The Vulture then kidnapped him from his mother, as he burnt their house down out of pure vengeance towards her.
Meanwhile, the brainwashed warrior appears infront of Mangeto, waiting for orders towards a massive human-mutantkind war which is about to occur.
He later turns himself into a supervillain called Pyro, who controls enormous fire powers and burns down the entire city, under the commands of his father and Magneto. While he burns the city to the ground, successfully wiping nearly half of the city off the map, Man Ape / M'Baku tries to redeem him and convince him that his mother's life is more important than his anger. This however didn't work, and he shot a fireball at M'Baku. After that, his mother Leah came and with her love she turned him good and he then redeemed himself completely. He also talked his father into redemption. However, Namor killed his father, and revealed his true motives and goals. Namor killed Pyro during a fight.
