Description
Theus Matchley was a small time Hellion thug when his mutation manifested itself. Torn between the power and wealth he was sure to obtain from rising in the Hellion ranks and his conscience telling him he should be using his gifts to aid mankind, Theus danced between vigilante and villian, until one fateful day when he was confronted by the hero Alley Stalker, who gave him a lesson in civic responsibility resulting in a lengthy hospital stay. Alley visited Theus in the hospital every day, talking to him about how much suffering the Hellions had caused over the years, and upon his release, took on Theus as a sidekick. He even gave Theus his Superhero moniker when, after a particularly spectacular fireball, Alley shouted out "that was righteously Pyrolicious, man!"
