Functioning X-men "Pyro" costume flamethrower appliance
MAKE Magazine — 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!

DIY Wrist-Mounted Flamethrower Lets You Pretend To Be An X-Man [DIY]
Gizmodo — Pyro was never my favorite of the X-Men, but that doesn't mean I'm not excited about this DIY project allowing me to mimic his powers. It's called Prometheus, and it's by far one of the best wrist-mounted flamethrowers I've seen. There have been similar projects in the past, but none actually produced such a controlled flame or came with building instructions as detailed as Everett Bradford's Prometheus Device. And while I know that Pyro technically controls fire rather than actually making it, short of mutant genetics, this project is as close as we'll get. And it's damn awesome. ...

Ubergizmo — Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), mutation in our genes do not result in the next Professor X or Wolverine, but will most probably end up as a medical anomaly who will require extra attention and care for a very long time. Still, that doesn't mean you can't use your perfectly functioning brain to come up with a DIY wrist mounted flamethrower in order to live out your mutant fantasies. Be careful with where you point that thing, amigo! Permalink: DIY wrist mounted flamethrower from Ubergizmo | Hot: Nokia N900 Review ...

DIY wrist mounted flamethrower
SlipperyBrick.com — None of us were born with mutant powers. Unless you consider spending way too much money on Star Wars merchandise a mutant power anyway. So if we want X-men like powers we have to go the DIY route. That’s what this dude did. He created a DIY wrist mounted flamethrower in order to live out his mutant fantasies. We’ve seen this guy before, but he has refined his creation. Somehow large breasted X-babes still elude him for some reason. Keep trying my friend. I’m sure a villain will show up soon to fight you.
