Gunfire is a fictional DC Comics superhero and freelance anti-terrorist operative. He first appeared in Deathstroke the Terminator annual #2.
[edit] Fictional character biography
During the Bloodlines crossover, Venev one of the the Alien Parasites attacked a young man named Andrew Van Horn, after surviving the attack Andrew's metagene was activated. Andrew uses his abilities to fight terrorists, these actions include putting an end to his father's illegal arms dealings.
Gunfire's eyepiece survived into the far, far future, appearing in Hitman One Million. This granted a citizen of the future Gunfire's exact powers due to its legendary status. Unfortunately the man was not very competent. He turned his medical pack into a gun, injuring himself, then accidentally turned his very own buttocks into a grenade. He perished moments later.
[edit] Powers and abilities
- Gunfire is able to agitate the atoms present in matter and either cause said objects to explode or convert a portion of their mass to directed blasts of concussive energy. Originally the objects, needed to have a topological focal point for the blasts (such as the tip of a crowbar or a metal pipe). Eventually, due to much of their mass being converted to energy the objects tend to disintegrate.
- If Gunfire attempts to use an object without a defined topological focal point (i.e. perfect sphere like a snowglobe), it would become a timed explosive, like a hand grenade.
- On at least one occasion Gunfire was able to release a concussive force blast without using an object. He was able to agitate atoms in the air in front of his hands and released enough energy to send himself flying backwards through a wall. This would seem to indicate that his abilities do not require material foci.
- Gunfire's ability to convert matter to energy is similar to an ability possessed by Russian superhero Pozhar.
