World Fire!

Pardon my ignorance, but is Pyro from X-Men II and the forthcoming X-Men III a character that originated in the comics or was he created specifically for the movie?
Additionally, what other fire-based heroes and villains are there in the comic book universe? I can only think of two: The Human Torch from The Fantastic Four and Firestar from the TV cartoon Spiderman and his Amazing Friends (was she from the comics or created for the show?)
Thanks for your help.

Magma is also a fire mutant.

Magma is also a fire mutant.

Yeah I forgot her, although she is more lava and magma like, but its the same idea.

although u should know pyro is dead in the comics. he died from a mutant specific disease called the legacy virus. though in the end he died saving a human senator from another member of the brotherhood.
