The comic book super-villain Pyro is a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and an enemy of the heroic super-mutant X-Men (Marvel Comics).

Pyro, unlike the heroic pyrokinetic Human Torch (a member of Marvel's Fantastic Four comic book team) who believes fire is a sacred element, is a maniacal pyropath who believes fire is something to be 'man-handled' and used for terror and arson.

Pyro is an interesting American pop art avatar, because he represents a social fascination with element spiritualism and arson inquiry.

Is fire an element to be feared or respected? Is it something that has metaphysical properties or is it simply to be regarded as dangerous?

The Ancient World myth of the pensive Prometheus who used fire and was compelled to brood on his actions is a timeless myth about the mystery of fire and its unpredictable qualities.

Unlike water which is simpler to handle/control but just as ubiquitous, fire is chaotic and destructive even to the touch.

The Christian Bible describes souls being forced to deal with spiritual maladies in an intolerable region of torment called the Lake of Fire.

Arson is a serious modern age crime, and arsonists wield fire to create havoc and destruction either for pure mischief or for insurance fraud. Arson was depicted in the Ron Howard firefighter crime film "Backdraft" [1991].

What is meant by 'spiritual arson?' Arson signifies a malicious or mischievous use of the chaotic element of fire and is considered to be a troubling realm of crime.

When we cheat on our taxes or betray our loved ones or lie about our sins, we are in a way, committing forms of 'spiritual arson' against the trusted walls of civilization.

Would the Christian archangel Michael, described to tackle Satan at the End of Days, be in charge of managing spiritual arson and the prophesied Lake of Fire?

Why do we hype an arsonist comic book super-villain such as Pyro (Marvel Comics)?

Such questions reveal real grammatical aspects of arson, fire, and spiritual transgression.

The good use of fire is to burn away impurities.
forge metal into tools.
even use brush fires in a controlled way to provide containment
and prevent worse disasters.

things get out of hand if a fire starts burning up stuff we meant to save.
the lake of fire is supposed to purge away the evil and leave only the good.
it isn't supposed to be about condemning people or souls but condemning the evil
in order to save the souls.

we can't let the fire that is supposed to be purifying
get so out of hand it destroys everything in its path
