I’m going to be a tad lazy with Hellion. I had originally intended on creating a second image of him in his demonic form but it’s going to take a lot of time and effort and I just don’t have the motivation for it right now. I’m going to be moving onto other characters but I’ll update this post at some point with the second image.
…………………….
When Ryan Hart first transformed into the demonic Hellion, he hid himself away for weeks. It was Dragonfly who first encountered Hart after his transformation. A deeply religious man, Dragonfly believed he had encountered the biblical devil. Hart’s ability to induce terror in others didn’t exactly help the situation. Dragonfly fled as Hellion, driven mad by his transformation, attacked.
It was several other heroes who finally managed to subdue Hellion, each suffering through the same fear as Dragonfly.
Afterwards, Hellion spent several months in AEGIS custody, held in a special rig to control his fire powers. In a surprising twist, Dragonfly visited Hellion a number of times in order to confront his own fears. In the process, Dragonfly proved integral in snapping Hellion back to sanity. The road was long and hard but eventually Ryan Hart regained control of his own mind. He was eternally grateful to Dragonfly for his help and after being released from custody he decided to follow in his new friends footsteps and become a costumed crime fighter. Albeit with a much darker edge.
Hellion has since become a well respected, if not entirely trusted, hero.
(Recently, Hellion has learned that his powers go beyond controlling peoples fear. He can actually manipulate other emotions and even gains different appearances and powers based on which emotion he is controlling at the time. He still finds fear much easier to work with though)
