OK, my awesome meter has kind of overloaded on this one. Everett Bradford’s “Prometheus Device” is a hand-mounted appliance that shoots, like, real fire. It looks, you know, dangerous, and all, but it’s so cool I don’t really care. And he’s done a great job documenting the build, although obviously no one should attempt this who doesn’t know what they’re doing. Amazing work, Everett. Thanks!

    So, so far we have Wolverine Claws, Pyro’s Flamethrower arms, and a theoretical Cyclops (Solar-Powered) laser-visor.
    No, can someone PLEASE get to work on making some Colossus skin?

    Amazing!
    The only thing That I would be wary of is the use of synthetic materials in close proximity to sources of ignition.
    Is that velcro holding the gas cylinder onto his arm?
    Anyone else ever have the joyous experience of burning Nylon on their skin?
