Fwoom! Finally, Mackenzie gets both her suit and her superpower!
[br]Being able to shoot fire from her hands was one of the elements the competition required me to include. I wanted to put a slightly different spin on that, which is why I made her suffer from pyrophobia. I thought it could be interesting to explore the psyche of a superhero who is actually afraid of their own power. Sadly, in the space of one 15-page origin story, there was only so much I could do with that.
[br]The Promethean Order is obviously named after Prometheus. No, not the film, the titan from Greek mythology who first gave fire to mankind. See … it all makes perfect sense now!
