John Allerdyce was a mutant with pyrokinetic powers, going by the name Pyro. He was a member of Cassandra Nova's crew of survivors in the Void, though Pyro secretly resented Nova and wanted to escape the dimension. Hence, he operated as an informant for the Time Variance Authority agent Paradox, reporting on Nova's dealings and the happens of her domain. While the crew was pitted against Deadpool, Wolverine, and the Resistance, Pyro attempted to finally kill Nova, though this assassination attempt failed. After Nova invaded Pyro's mind and learned of Paradox's plans, he was murdered by her upon her arrival in Deadpool's universe.

Personality[]
Pyro presented himself as a cocky individual who was very confident in his abilities, as shown when he almost effortlessly absorbed Human Torch's flaming abilities, causing the latter to fall to the ground unconscious. Although he ostensibly worked for Cassandra Nova in the Void, he felt that he was mistreated by Nova and was subjected to tiresome work, hence became dissatisfied at Nova's leadership. At the same time, his desire to leave the Void grew as time passed. These factors combined intensify Pyro's hatred towards his leader. Therefore, he made a deal with Paradox, becoming his sleeper agent and informant, betraying Nova in exchange for eventual freedom.
The tendency to betray others eventually led to his downfall. After his failed murder attempt at Nova, he immediately revealed Paradox's plot and the Time Ripper's existence to Nova so that she did not need to read his mind. When faced with immediate life danger, Pyro's cockiness faded away, revealing a cowardly individual who would betray anyone to live, though Nova killed him eventually as she got all the information she needed anyway.

Behind the Scenes[]
- Pyro in the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues the live-action incarnation of the character from 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series, who was portrayed by Aaron Stanford and Alexander Burton.
- According to Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy, Pyro's inclusion in the film came about by letting the story dictate the characters instead of the other way around, being an "outgrowth" of that process.[3]
- Aaron Stanford enjoyed returning as Pyro due to getting the chance to actually use a comic book-accurate costume unlike the ones he got to wear on X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand.[4]
