KENNETH HAYES WAS A FIRE FIGHTER RESPONDING TO AN INCIDENT IN WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ABANDONED BUILDING.

THE BUILDING, HOWEVER,

WAS FAR FROM EMPTY. AN EVIL CULT WAS PLANNING TO USE THE SPACE TO SACRIFICE A BABY TO AN ANCIENT FIRE GOD. RESIDENT SUPERHERO, MISTER MYSTIC,
INTERVENED, AND THE RESULTING FIGHT CAUSED THE FIRE THAT BROUGHT KEN’S FIRE COMPANY TO THE SCENE. KEN, ALONG WITH HIS FELLOWS, WAS WORKING
FEVERISHLY TO CONTROL THE BLAZE AS MYSTER MYSTIC FOUGHT THE LEAD CULTIST, WHEN HE NOTICED A LOW-RANKING CULT MEMBER TRYING TO COMPLETE THE
RITUAL BY DROPPING THE BABY INTO A SACRIFICIAL FLAME. HORRIFIED, KEN REACTED INSTINCTIVELY AND LEAPT FORWARD TO CATCH THE BABY. ENTERING THE
FLAMES BEFORE THE INFANT, KEN’S HANDS WERE INSTANTLY BURNED TO A CRISP. AFTER A MOMENT OF SEARING PAIN THAT SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY, KEN
SNAPPED BACKED TO REALITY. HE WAS AMAZED TO FIND HIS OLD HANDS REPLACED BY TWO NEW ONES MADE OF MYSTIC FLAME AND RELIEVED TO SEE HIS NEW
APPENDAGES SAFELY CRADLING THE WOULD-BE-SACRIFICE. LOOKING UP AT THE PERPLEXED CULTIST, KEN PUNCHED HIM OUT JUST AS MYSTER MYSTIC FINISHED
OFF THE CULT LEADER. MYSTER MYSTIC EXPLAINED THAT KEN HAD SACRIFICED HIS HANDS TO THE FIRE GOD, WHO GRANTED HIM HIS MYSTIC HANDS IN RETURN,
AND THANKED HIM FOR HIS HELP IN THE CASE.

THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WERE EVENTFUL FOR KEN. INSTANTLY LAUDED AS A HERO FOR HIS ACTIONS, KEN WAS CELEBRATED BY THE MEDIA FOR WEEKS. HIS
CELEBRITY WAS ONLY INCREASED BY THE FACT THAT THE BABY HE RESCUED WAS CAPITOL CITY’S MAYOR’S DAUGHTER. HIS HANDS, HOWEVER, SOON BECAME AN
ISSUE. ALTHOUGH KEN’S HANDS ONLY BECAME DANGEROUSLY HOT WHEN HE WILLED THEM TO BE, THE LOCAL FIRE CHIEF WAS HESITANT TO EMPLOY A FIRE
FIGHTER WITH PERMANENTLY FLAMING HANDS. GIVEN HIS NEW CONNECTIONS, KEN COULD HAVE FOUGHT FOR HIS OLD JOB, BUT HE UNDERSTOOD THE CHIEF’S
POSITION AND DIDN’T FEEL LIKE PRESSING THE ISSUE. INSTEAD, HE DECIDED TO PUT HIS NEW POWERS TO USE BY PROVIDING A NEW KIND OF PUBLIC SERVICE.
HE’D HEARD OF OTHER PRIVATE CITIZENS WITH SPECIAL TALENTS IN THE PAST AND DECIDED THAT THEY COULD DO A GREAT DEAL OF GOOD IF PROPERLY
ORGANIZED. TOWARD THAT END, HE PURCHASED AN ABANDONED FIRE HOUSE, A DECOMISSIONED FIRE TRUCK, TOOK THE CODE-NAME FIREFIGHT, AND ANNOUNCED
CAPITOL CITY’S FIRT VOLUNTEER HERO BRIGADE.
