Scorch

Curtis Holden, better known as Scorch, is an NPC-turned-party member from The Saviors of Sunset City. He is a mutant best known for his destructive unrefined powers. He is an honorary member of the Echelon Eight.
== Personality ==
Scorch is a younger man with a kind heart, disheartened by his lack of control over his own powers, feeling regretful for every time it causes havoc. He seeks to make amends for the destruction he causes, and is glad to have someone who will train him.
== History ==
=== The Saviors of Sunset City ===
Scorch was first seen when Big Red and Void Empyrean sent themselves to stop a burning building from collapsing. He lamented the fact that he didn't mean to do it, and that it was an accident. By the time Void and Big Red had finished, Scorch was nowhere to be found. Scorch was later seen at the scene of his family home, with Big Red recognizing him. This time, 10 and the Alchemist were there to help instead of Void Empyrean. He soon left, but returned crying, telling his mother that he didn't mean for this to happen. His mother comforted him, telling him that he had his dad's powers, and that he didn't know how to control them yet. 10 soon asked Scorch's mother about training him to help him control his powers, to which she was elated to let him go train with them. After this point, Scorch joined the Echelon Eight as an honorary member.
Scorch went with the Eight to fight Glassmaker, seemingly being a poor choice to bring. He was quickly glassed by Glassmaker, being out of commission for the rest of the fight. If he was not glassed, he may have contributed to the same problem 10 and Spinflux were responsible for, being melting the Glassmaker into a much stronger liquid being. He accompanied the Eight for several missions after this, not doing anything of note, later getting switched out of the main crew for Holo-Girl when the Eight went to fight Lifeblood. Despite this, Scorch aided to fight against the Ging Gongs, though could not do much due to how quickly the fight ended.
=== 10 and White Lion's Duo Session ===
While not appearing in person, Scorch was among the clones created by Gene Plicer to fight 10.
== Notable Moments ==
* Burning down multiple buildings, one of which being his family home
* Assisting against the Ging Gongs
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Pyrokinesis ===
Scorch is a rather unpredictable pyrokinetic, being potentially very destructive with his flames. He can shoot them from his hands, absorb them from fire sources, and eventually can learn to use them to fly like his father did.
== Trivia ==
* Scorch is inspired by pyrokinetic superheroes like Firestorm from DC Comics.
