    He's gotten stronger in both regards. In the current arc he's been trading blows with a fella who can melt metal statue with the heat of his flames. So it's pretty up there.

    Exceptions prove the rule in most cases.

    There's been a couple pyrokinetic superheroes that temporarily lose heat resistance, and they do not have a good time of it.

    I can totally see people who have the psychic ability to control flames getting torched by heat. It gets a little ridiculous when it's 'People who have superpowers to generate fire', though. ^_^

    I would die. 52 C in Ottawa is too much.

    Happy holidays, everyone.

    Todoroki's dad is actually a guy with fire powers who suffered from overheating after prolonged usage of his powers, so he sought out an ice user to marry so that he could have a kid with both Ice and Fire powers. That meant his kid would be able to cool himself off if he overheated and warm himself up if he got too cold

    These years, Christmas is less about traditional celebrations, presents, decorations, and so on and more about simply surviving until things return to normal. Kinda sad, but I just came back from a grocery run to buy enough food to last for several days. The stores will be closed tomorrow. Spent way more money than I usually do, and had to carry home 5 bags of groceries (the store is within walking distance).

    We, my husband and I, should be set for now and grateful for what we have.

    Merry Christmas to my neighbors living in America's attic.

    It seems that with windchill, where I live will feel like negative -13
