Powers and Abilities
Judge Fire is an undead monster from an alien dimension. He inhabits human corpses.
He is quite possibly the most dangerous of the Dark Judges:
- His powers allow him to kill many people at a time, and at a distance.
- His physical form is virtually invulnerable to fire.
- He cannot be trapped in Boing!™, unlike his fellows.
In his most basic form, Fire resembles a cloud of greenish fog. In this form, he is impervious to most attacks, and can pass through small gaps (keyholes, etc.). But hecannot pass through seamless barriers. As a gaseous entity, he can temporarily possess living victims (Personality Transfer).
Fire’s full power is revealed once he cannot inhabit a specially-prepared cadaver. When inhabiting a corpse, Fire is much more deadly. He is ablaze, and can hurl flame. In this form, he is unable to use Dispersal except for defence (no walking through walls).
Fire and his fellow dark Judges have displayed other abilities on occasion (long-distance mental Control for example). These should be treated as plot devices to allow them to escape from confinement.
History
As Judge Death.
Description
Judge Fire is a skeletal figure wreathed in flames. He bears a trident, and wears a flaming badge with his name in fiery letters.
If his host body is destroyed, Fire will assume a gaseous form, with his flaming skull visible within the vapours.
Personality
Fire is mute, and kills everything he sees.
Unlike his fellow Dark Judges, he makes no threats, and indulges in no posturing. He just roasts everyone around.
DC Universe History
Four Dark Judges would make a credible threat for a low to mid-powered DCU team. They have the D-Jump : why not ?
