Power(s)

 * Fire Mimicry: Lionel can become fire at less-than a moment's notice, though the majority of the time that he's had his powers he's been unable to turn it off.
 * Fire Manipulation: Lionel is able to fling fire at incredible speeds, and can control where it lands and how it spreads, this power was an incredible asset to have, as he needed to control his own fire constantly to not burn his clothing and anything he comes in contact with.
 * Pyrokinetic Regeneration: Like a lot of heroes, Lionel gets injured during fights, this power was the last of his powers to surface. To work, it requires him to feed off of fire sources, like fireplaces, or miscellaneous on-fire buildings, this coupled with his fire manipulation is an incredibly fragile balancing act, as if he absorbs too much then he has the possibility of becoming too great of a fire for him to control.

Awakening

 * Ultimate Burning: Had Lionel ever broken through his Power Wall, he'd have access to this power. Lucky for him he didn't. If this power were to ever become unlocked he could have possibly scorched whatever area he was in, burning anything and everything around him, unable to stop it.

Trivia

 * Lionel has a near-crippling anxiety disorder, it's a giant detriment to his life and is one of the reasons he wasn't a very public hero, until he got professional help in 2389. Now he is much better, both mentally and as a hero.
 * Lionel along with Calvin and Mummy Man are three of the few jewish superheroes that work at a combat capacity.
