Biography[]
Background[]
Fire Lord was originally from the planet Tallos 5, where he worked as a mining bot all his life. During this time, he met hero Preston Stormer. Later, he was given some kind of batteries in his fingers. These batteries allowed workers to absorb a little bit of energy from fuel cells so that they wouldn't have to keep going back to base for recharging. Unfortunately, the scientists who worked on this invention didn't calculate the horror that awaited Fire Lord. The batteries began to absorb too much energy and the sheer amount of power could barely be contained in his body. Fire Lord became addicted to the energy flow and found that he was literally corrupted with power. Because of this, Fire Lord took a life of villainy and went on a destructive crime spree across the galaxy often assisted by his three intelligent henchmen: Drilldozer, Jetbug, and Nitroblast, who were also cyborgs. However, Fire Lord and his gang of pyromaniacs were often hindered by Hero Factory, an organization of heroes dedicated to rid the galaxy of villainy and crime.
Ordeal of Fire[]
Years later, Fire Lord and his men raided Tanker Station 22 to loot its fuel, but a squad of Heroes led by Stormer arrived to defeat them. Stormer and his men rescued most of the workers, but Fire Lord and his men easily defeated the heroes. One of the heroes, Mark Surge, was able to lure Fire Lord away as the heroes retreated, and Fire Lord came close to capturing the hero. However, Surge escaped and Stormer returned to confront Fire Lord once again. During the fight, he revealed his meeting with Stormer in the past and eventually tried to throw him off a ledge, but was stopped by Nathan Evo and Julius Nex, who had arrived to assist the heroes. After the heroes defeated his minions, Fire Lord fled to the lowest parts of the facility where he began absorbing Tanker Station 22's largest fuel deposit. However, the heroes pursued him there and resumed their fight. During the fight, Surge hijacked the Fire Villains' Fuel Supply Ship and crashed it into Fire Lord, severing his hand and cutting him off from the fuel. This gave Stormer enough time to defeat Fire Lord at last by striking him down. Fire Lord's henchmen, along with their master, were then taken to Makuhero City and imprisoned in the Hero Factory's villain storage.
Breakout[]
As time passed, Fire Lord and his gang remained imprisoned inside the Hero Factory until the arrest of a fellow villain named Voltix. Voltix released the entity of Von Nebula, who breached the containment cell surrounding Von Nebula's blackhole staff, which caused a massive blackout that unlocked every villians' cell. The staff then opened a vortex enabling the villains an escape method. Fire Lord, alongside Jetbug, is seen hovering above a fight between Jimi Stringer and Splitface. The two villains assist Splitface by ramming into Stringer and Rocka, laughing at the heroes' frivolous attempts to contain the breakout. Fire Lord and Jetbug make it to the vortex, but turn around to laugh at the heroes one last time before entering the vortex and escaping.
