    "Close range fighter robot proficient in melee combat. Possesses flame generation ability, and can attack through self-detonation."
    - Stage Select Description

    Mighty No. 1: Pyrogen, is a robot who uses fire and explosion based abilities, and is the first member of the Mighty Numbers created by Dr. White.

    Appearance[]

    Pyrogen's torso, arms and legs are almost entirely covered in specially built gas burners. When unlit, Pyro's body appears somewhat skinny, but when they are lit up, his body becomes engulfed in a flame-like exterior. His face is mostly humanoid in shape, with blue-green eyes, orange skin, and black stripes on the sides.

    Story[]

    Pyrogen was the first of the Mighty Numbers to be created by Dr. White, and, amongst his siblings, participated in many battles which occured in the Battle Colosseum.

    When a mysterious virus suddenly caused almost every robot to go berserk, Pyro was among the many robots who were affected, becoming feral and aggressive. Pyrogen rampaged through an oil platform, attempting to ignite it ablaze. Not wanting to risk a large scale inferno, Beck was sent to the oil platform by Dr. White to stop him. Upon encountering him, Pyro attacked Beck in a fiery rage, but was eventually defeated and brought back to his senses.

    If Pyro was defeated, he will go to the Water Works Bureau to locate Cryosphere and assist Beck by melting the ice, restarting the Bureau to a functional state.

    After all of the infected Mighty Numbers had been cured of the virus, Pyro joined them, Beck, and Dr. White in an attack on the Cherry Dynamics Robot Factory to shut down the production of various malfunctioning robots.

    After Beck defeated Trinity at the Battle Colosseum, Pyro was sent alongside the other Mighty Numbers to recover her and Beck from the collapsing structure.

    Personality[]

    As the first of the robots created in the Mighty Numbers line, Pyro is the eldest sibling of the Mighty Numbers and acts as the leader of the group. He has a confident, yet somewhat boisterous personality, but also has a more caring and cool-headed side.

    While under the effects of the virus, Pyrogen became rather violent. He rampaged through an oil platform simply for the sake of burning anything as much as he could, and expressed anger when Beck, decidedly not on fire, arrived to confront him.

    Abilities[]

    Pyrogen can ignite the gas burners on his body to give himself a powerful flame exterior which act as his armor. He can also leave fire pillars in his wake while running. Aside from his explosive capabilities, Pyro is largely a physical fighter who makes frequent use of charges, bear hugs and body slams. His main weapon is the Fire Explosion.

    Other Appearances[]

    Pyrogen appears in the 8-bit crossover game Mighty Gunvolt as a Downloadable Content boss character alongside a version of the Oil Platform stage.

    Pyrogen reprises his role as a boss character in the game Mighty Gunvolt Burst. Pyrogen now has the ability of create a giant punch made of fire coming out from the fire walls whenever he punches the opposite side of the screen (similar to Carrera's magnetic attacks from Azure Striker Gunvolt), he can climb up his fire walls to make a body slam, and his explosion attack will form by absorbing small fire balls from the fire wall, making it stronger and bigger, taking up most of the screen, making the corners the only safe place.

    Development[]

    At the start of Pyrogen's development, the team decided to make a fire-based boss. Specifically, they wanted his entire body to be like a flaming sun or furnace. Kimo Kimo came up with a sun, furnace, and boxer-based robot. After lots of trial and error, Inafune drew a sketch as a counter-proposal. Inafune felt it would be fun if Pyrogen's design was a flaming, muscle mass, only to reveal a thin frame of gas burners that make the flames. His non-flamed design is based on the top of a Zippo-style lighter.

    Trivia[]

    • Pyrogen and the first 5 Mighty Robots you encounter in the game all appear to be a throwbacks to the first 6 Robot Masters from Mega Man. Mighty No. 1 has the most in common with his supposed predecessor Fire Man. Like Fire Man, Pyrogen's design was based off of a Zippo lighter where Fire Man was believed to be based off of a torch or a knight. He also has some similarities to Heat Man as well as FlameMan.EXE from the Mega Man Battle Network series and Apollo Flame from the Mega Man Star Force series. He also bears a strong resemblance to Flame Hyenard from Mega Man X7 both from his body made of gas burners and his habit of yelling during battle.
