Powers[]

Burnout Original

Burnout's original costume

Burnout is a pyrokinetic, able to psionically accelerate the atoms in matter until it builds up heat and ignites. Burnout can use this power on the air around him and create a burning aura of ionized plasma around himself. He can project his plasma aura from his hands in explosive fiery blasts, or focus it downward in a tightly compressed stream of fire and fly.

In addition to his pyrokinesis, Burnout also has the secondary psychic power of telepathy. With this ability he can read minds and project his thoughts into the minds of others. If he focuses all of his telepathic power on a person, Burnout can even control their mind but using his power in that way taxes his mental strength.
