Blowtorch

Real Name: Marion Weathers
Background: Marion Weathers loved fires. He loved watching them. He loved feeling the heat on his face. But most of all, he loved starting them. 
As a child, he burned down his family's farm, then moved on to the neighbors' farms. He needed to see things burn. He was institutionalized for his obsession for a time, and later he broke out, but not before setting fire to the institution.
Studying the chemistry of fires, he invented a weapon that would allow him to burn things down whenever he wanted. He adopted the identity of Blowtorch and went to live his dream.
At one point, he appeared to been killed by the vigilante Peacemaker, but he recovered by unknown means.
He's never been in it for the money. He's in it for love.
