[[folder:Music]]
* Music/LindseyStirling's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf6LD2B_kDQ Elements]]" features a lot of fire that she dances around, based in a frame quickly constructed from Home Depot materials.
* Music/{{Rammstein}}. Shows include flamethrowers, fire-shooting masks, massive fireballs errupting from the stage, instruments shooting sparks or bursting into flames... One of their most famous gags involves singer Till Lindemann rising from stage engulfed in fire. And they would use that in their ''opening'' number.
* DJ the S' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n_sq7RubUM Disciple of the Fire]]" is a compilation remix of Fire-based themes from video games.

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/FantasticFourDuology'': Like his [[ComicBook/FantasticFour comic counterpart]], Johnny Storm gain the ability to create and control fire, as well as [[WreathedInFlames cover himself in flames]]. This did lead to a problem where he would [[ClothingDamage burn off his clothes]] until his [[MySuitIsAlsoSuper fire proof outfit is made]].
* In the film ''Film/{{Firestarter}}'', little Charlie [=McGee=] slowly comes into her powers until her pyrokinesis lets her take down an entire hardsite full of armed agents.
* The ghost that is haunting Sid in ''Film/TheGravedancers'' is a child PyroManiac who now possesses pyrokinetic powers.
* Liz Sherman in the first and [[Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy second]] ''Film/{{Hellboy|2004}}'' movies has pyrokinesis, but is unhappy with it and [[PowerIncontinence has difficulty controlling it]] (she burned down an entire city block and killed her family as an ''eight-year-old''). Ultimately, she is able to embrace it and, in the second film, has greater control and is in a relationship with the luckily fireproof Hellboy. Oddly, Hellboy has the fiery, impulsive, and chaotic personality, while Liz is comparatively stable and reserved.
* ''Film/{{Krull}}'': At the end of the film [[TheHero Colwyn]] gains fire abilities with the help of [[LoveInterest Lyssa]] [[spoiler: which he uses to kill [[BigBad The Beast.]]]]
* In the film ''Film/TheLastAirbender'', Firebending is handled differently than in [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender the show]]; no firebender can create their element, [[ElementalBaggage so they all have to carry around tiny lanterns]]. Only the most powerful can generate flames from nothing.
* ''Film/{{Legend 1985}}''
** The alicorn (unicorn horn) allows its holder to start fires and throw fire.
** In the climactic fight with Jack, Darkness repeatedly fires fire out of his hands and weapons he's holding and causes fire to blaze up at a distance.
* Due to a failed anti-radiation vaccine, the main character of ''Film/SpontaneousCombustion'' is born with an ability to set people on fire when he's pissed off enough.
* ''Film/SupersonicSaucer'': Meba is capable of starting fires thanks to his alien powers.
* The Czech fairytale "Die Prinzessin und der fliegende Schuster" features the Sun herself [[note]]she's really a hot girl, due to German grammatic gender and all girls in Czech fairytale films being this by default -- to top it off, the actress' first is Venuse[[/note]]. She's ruined her shoes and now calls for a fireproof cobbler to repair them. Our hero gets out the blacksmith gear and even lends a hand during the try-on. (DontTryThisAtHome, it's a fairytale.)
* Chi is the least stoic and solemn of the Film/WarriorsOfVirtue. Though he also represents Wisdom, he's still eager and impulsive: "Patience is ''not'' my virtue."
* Wilder and Wallace in ''Film/WilderNapalm'' are two brothers with pyrokinetic abilities. Things start heating up between them when they start querreling over a woman.
* In ''Film/TheWitchFiles'', Jules develops the power to throw fireballs from her hands.
* ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'': One of the spells [[WickedWitch The Wicked Witch of the West]] can cast is to shoot out fireballs, which she uses after Dorthy and the Scarecrow meet the Tin Man.
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** Pyro can't generate fire, but is immune to it and can direct and grow any nearby fire. As such, he uses a lighter to create it when he needs to in the [[Film/XMen1 first]] [[Film/X2XMenUnited two]] movies, and he gets a wrist-mounted flamethrower in the [[Film/XMenTheLastStand third]].
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': Sunspot's mutant ability consists of converting the sun's energy into bursts of flame that he can aim at his enemies.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': The Ancient Egyptian Famine's mutant power is pyrokinesis. It's very much like Pyro's in that she only seems capable of manipulating already existent fire instead of being able to create it.
* In ''Film/YamatoTakeru'', the ability to conjure fire is the signature power of the [[ReligionIsMagic priestesses]] of [[ThePowerOfTheSun Amaterasu]]. Oto Tachibana in particular has fireball-throwing as her signature spell and combines it with martial prowess to be a KungFuWizard.

%%* Adele from ''Webcomic/AgentsOfTheRealm''.
%%* [[http://www.thebeastlegion.com/issue-07-page-25-repaying-the-favor/ Fyre]] from ''Webcomic/TheBeastLegion''.
* In ''Webcomic/ChampionsOfFaraus'', fire spirits([[OurSpiritsAreDifferent which are more like elementals]]) can shoot fireballs from their hands.
* Butterfly from ''Webcomic/{{Collar 6}}'' apparently picked up this ability from Trina. She is a somewhat rare case of a non-PyroManiac villain to use this trope.
* In ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest'', [[http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/page-143/ Cucumber uses fire magic.]] [[http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/page-144/ The crabs even use the trope name.]]
* In ''Webcomic/DragonMango'', [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter07/dm07-36.htm Mango's powers are mostly fire-based.]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'', any drow with a [[ElementalPowers fire affinity]] or a [[PowerCrystal fire foci]] can use this trope. ElementalBaggage, however, is {{Averted}}: fire needs to be present in some form. Therefore, fire-aligned mana users either carry around little burners -- "fire pots" -- or strike a spark when they require access to flame.
** Of the ''Drowtales'' fire users, [[PunctuationShaker Chirinide Val'Kyorl'solenurn]] stands out the most:
--->''Chiri:'' [[BadassCreed Monstrousities of the body and hollow of soul! You deserve no pity! You shall be purged]] -- [[PunctuatedForEmphasis IN FLAMES!]]
%%* Zaebos from ''Webcomic/{{Earthsong}}''.
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has had several villans with fire powers: Damien had the ability set himself on fire without harming himself. The Omega Goo could [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2002-10-26 breath fire]]. Finally there was an Aberration who could [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2018-01-01 shoot fire from his hands]].
* In ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'', Antimony soon received a [[AmplifierArtifact Blinker Stone]] and quickly [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=137 learned]] to use it, mostly for [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=412 various]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=628 pyrotechnic]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=621 effects]]. [[spoiler:You may also count uses of the phrase "[[FieryRedhead fiery]] Surma" or synonyms. Which is neither quite a metaphor [[InTheBlood nor a coincidence]].]]
** Later, it is revealed that [[spoiler: she, like her mother, are actually descendants of a Fire Elemental/Human pairing, and thus have a bit of supernatural fire burning inside them.]] Coyote makes a bit of a point out of the fact that, while she can generally be mistaken for an EmotionlessGirl, the right [[BerserkButton prompting]] can cause Annie's temper to 'flare' with REMARKABLE speed.
* Celina of ''Webcomic/{{Imp}}'' conjures green fire as her default attack.
%%* Infiernos from ''Webcomic/TheIncredibleAndAweInspiringSerialAdventureOfTheAmazingPlasmaMan''
* Embers from Webcomic/IronGate has been this ever since the Fey enchanted/cursed her with fire powers as a child.
* Kyros from ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'', though he usually winds up causing more harm than good with it due to extreme trigger-happiness.
* Red of the Waddle Dee Bros is seen attacking with fire in "Webcomic/KirbyCardClash"
* ''WebComic/MageAndDemonQueen'': Fire magic is Malori's specialty. Due to an incident in her childhood, her skill in it has been jacked way over what it should be.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Maliki}}'', Tan can emit and manipulate fire.
* John Henry Hunter in ''Webcomic/NextTownOver''. Aside from being able to produce flames from things like alcohol or matches, he is also able to mess with guns being fired, making it hard for people to shoot him.
* The titular character from ''Webcomic/{{Nosfera}}'' can throw fireballs.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'', we have a few people with this power: [[FieryRedhead Cinna]], [[LargeHam Shiva]], [[GrumpyOldMan Yuma]], and [[ProperLady Kathy.]]
** Pacificators Cinna is a rank B, and Kathy a rank Elite (Elite is the highest possible rank. B is the third highest). Renegades Shiva, who is the only character capable of a [[DishingOutDirt second power]], is an unknown low type and Yuma is a type 7 (the lowest is 1, the highest is 10). They all have to have fuel of some kind with them; it's impossible for them to [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/PacificatorsVol3Chapter03n170.jpg generate fire without fuel and oxygen.]] They also [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators2/MangaPacVol4n176c.jpg carry bombs with them]] (only the Elite-ranked Pacificators are allowed to carry liquid fuel with them).
** Having the power of fire isn't all that awesome, though. They [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV01CH01P194.html overheat]] if they get [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV01CH01P195.html too angry.]]
%%* ''Webcomic/{{Panthera}}'': [[GratuitousLatin Tigris Ignis]], Tiger of Fire.
%%* ''Webcomic/{{Parimetra}}'': Antine, aka the superhero Torch, has both this and {{Flight}}.
%%* Ane from ''[[http://pumpkinflower.comicgenesis.com Pumpkin Flower]]''.
* In ''Webcomic/TheRedStar'', [[http://www.beyondrealitymedia.com/the-red-star/issue-1/page-8/ sorceresses can light cigarettes -- indeed soldiers considered it lucky.]] [[http://www.beyondrealitymedia.com/the-red-star/issue-1/page-19/ It can also be used to more dramatic effect.]]
* In ''{{Webcomic/Sarilho}}'', Pyrokinesis is associated with augurism, and all augurs are apparently able to conjure fire, although it's not clear to which degree.
* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Sally Fintan is a MagicalGirl with the power to control fire. Her powers are more specialized than those of her teammates; she can't, for instance, use them to [[SensorCharacter sense monsters]] or [[NotQuiteFlight fly]] (though not for lack of trying -- she once tried to use her powers as a jetboot, but [[NoodleIncident "never again"]]). She makes up for this by being one of the strongest of her teammates in battle, second only to Tessa and her control over [[InfinityPlusOneElement Aether]].
* Cliff and Duster from ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'' have the 'Siara Special'. It's powerful enough to ruin even a high-ranking Angel's afternoon. To a lesser extent, J has a tendency to make anything he touches explode.
%%* [[spoiler:Oasis]] of ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', as seen [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/090612 here]].
* In ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' Yeon's powers are fire based. She gives [[TeamKiller Friendly Fire]] another meaning, too. There's also Quaetro Blitz and (according to WordOfGod) Quant.
* ''Webcomic/WaywardSons'': Hestya's powers are identical to [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm's]], but almost nothing can withstand the heat she gives off while her powers are active. [[{{Fanservice}} Like her clothes, for instance]].
* In ''Webcomic/WhenSheWasBad'', Gail temporarily gains pyrokinesis as her unstable, constantly-changing secondary superpower.
* In ''Webcomic/WonderWeenies'', Dee can spout flame from her hands, which noticeably also catch fire without harming her.
* In ''Webcomic/YokokasQuest'', Mao's primary use of magic in combat is to throw {{fireballs}}, and in chapter 9 he also [[ElementalWeapon sets his whip aflame]]. He also [[IneffectualDeathThreats tries to scare Yin away]] with a {{fireball|s}} as a child.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''TabletopGame/SeventhSea'': There is the rare sorcery "El Fuego Adentro" of Castille, where a practitioner can create and wield fire. Just don't let the [[CorruptChurch Inquisition]] find out...
* ''TabletopGame/{{Atmosfear}}'': Anne de Chantraine is a magical pyromaniac, using her magic to burn others in retaliation for her own unjust execution.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Bakugan}}'' with the Pyrus attribute have fire powers, and often [[HotBlooded fiery personalities]] to match.
* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'': The ''Firestarter'' Battlemech is dedicated to the role, mounting four fusion-powered flamethrowers.
* ''TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu''. The Great Old One Cthugha and his Fire Vampire servants can perform fire-based attacks.
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': Fire is one of the most common elemental damage powers, with such favorites as the Wizard's Burning Hands, Fireball, Flaming Sword, and Fire Trap spells, the red dragon's breath weapon, and so on.
** The pyrokineticist prestige class embodies this trope.
** The Druid class is prone to this trope, gaining spells like Produce Flame, Flame Sphere, and Flame Blade within their first few spell levels. Additionally, Wild Shape lets druids take the forms of elementals, including, yes, fire elementals. 5th Edition even has the Druid Circle of Wildfire, based on the role of natural fires in a forest ecosystem. Wildfire Druids can give up a use of Wild Shape to summon a fire elemental in the shape of an animal as a companion.
** Notably, fire is also the most commonly resisted damage type, leading it to being shunned by dedicated powergamers in 3rd edition in favor of [[MakeMeWannaShout sonic damage]].
* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'': Fire is one of the five basic elements of creation, and beings associated with it -- such as fire elementals, Anklok Dragon Kings and Fire Aspect Dragon-Blooded -- can manipulate, create and extinguish fire and light. Fire is generally associated with purification and transformation, and beings tied to it sometimes possess powers related to this concept without necessarily manipulating fire directly.
* ''TabletopGame/FantasyStrike'': Jaina Stormborne sets ''herself'' on fire in addition to the usual flame attacks. In TabletopGame/{{Yomi}}, she also sets the arena floor on fire.
* ''TabletopGame/FengShui'': The Path of the Brilliant Flame fu path essentially gives you fiery kung fu powers. And fire is one of the most common Blast powers that a sorcerer can use.
* Creator/GamesWorkshop:
** In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'', ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'' & ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', the magic conjured by Tzeentch, his daemons and his followers commonly takes the form of dazzling, [[TechnicolorFire multi-coloured flames]] that can burn the very soul of the victim, mutate them beyond all recognition, or anything in between.
** In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' specifically, one of the basic forms of magic available to the majority of magic uses in the setting is the Lore of Fire that specialises in the use of pyromancy.
** ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' specific examples:
*** The 6th Edition of the game added Pyromancy as a universal psychic power pool, as an option for many races that use psychic powers.
*** The purity and psychic abilities of the elite [[DemonSlaying Grey Knight]] Purifiers typically manifests as a cleansing [[TechnicolorFire blue flame]] capable of incinerating the [[FirePurifies body and soul of any evil creature caught in the conflagration]]. This ability is represented in the 8th Edition of the game by the 'Purifying Flame' Ability that increases the damage done by the Purifier's Smite psychic power but reduces its range.
** ''TabletopGame/{{Necromunda}}'':
*** One of the four types of [[PsychicPowers Wyrds]] that gangs could hire in the first two editions of the game was the Pyro Wyrd. Possessing powerful pyrokinetic abilities Pyros were capable of flinging fireballs at their enemies, creating walls of flame or unleashing a blast of heat equivalent to an [[AntiVehicle anti-tank meltagun]].
*** One of the powers available to the Witches who accompany [[ReligionOfEvil Chaos Cult]] gangs in the 3rd Edition of the game is Scouring. This PsychicPower causes balefire to engulf his enemies, inflicting damage equal to auto or las weaponry.
* In ''TabletopGame/HeavyGear'', the Southern ''Flammjager'' gear was not only a specialised incendiary mecha, but its pilots had a (justified) reputation as {{Pyromaniac}}s with a tendency to burn everything they encounter. The North tried to improve on the Southern model by creating the larger and tougher Magma Jaguar and subjecting its pilots to more rigorous screening (and they ''still'' end up with roughly a 1 in 4 hire rate of pyromaniacs).
* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': Fire magic is one of the most common means of offensive magic available to a Red mage, along with ShockAndAwe and more rarely DishingOutDirt. Classic ''Magic''[='=]s most iconic fire mage is [[https://scryfall.com/card/tsp/166/jaya-ballard-task-mage Jaya Ballard, Task Mage]], best known for providing the flavor text for [[http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mc55 many fire-related cards]]. Chandra Nalaar, her disciple of sorts, took over her role in the post-Mending era.
* ''TabletopGame/InNomine'':
** While Gabriel's boons have more to do with smiting the wicked than manipulating flames, a few of them grant this sort of powers -- her Ofanim are ImmuneToFire, her Malakim can [[ElementalPunch cover their hands with celestial flames]], and any of her servants can gain the ability to raise local ambient temperatures, strengthen, reduce or constrain fires, or create a sphere of flame around themselves.
** Belial, Gabriel's infernal opposite, is far more focused on Fire's literal meaning than Gabriel is, and his servants grant a number of abilities focusing on creating and controlling flames.
** The Songs of Fire create literal and metaphorical flames. The Corporeal Song of Fire allows any performer to create fire in a desired area. The Ethereal Song of Fire creates a blaze of inspiration in mortal minds. The Celestial Song of Fire makes existing flames supernaturally entrancing.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'': The Pyrokinetic mutant ability. Of course, [[CrapsackWorld this]] [[TotalPartyKill being]] ''[[KillerGameMaster Paranoia]]'', if it's actually helping at any point, the GM will probably cause the pyrokinetic to cook off the grenades he's carrying or otherwise inflict {{hilarity|Ensues}} on the hapless fellow.
* ''TabletopGame/PrincessTheHopeful'': The Court of Swords has a strong affinity for the element of fire, [[PersonalityPowers tied to their embrace of love and other passions]]. Many of their Charms create, manipulate, or protect from fire, and their Invocation can be applied for free to affect either fire or anything that's ''on'' fire.
* ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'':
** '''[[https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Pyro Pyro]]''' monsters are a monster type representing creatures who control or embody fire. They typically have effects revolving around inflicting damage without doing battle.
** '''[[https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/FIRE FIRE]]''' is an attribute commonly associated with dragon, machine, dinosaur and, of course, pyro-type monsters.

** In "Try the Pie", Paul Weir develops the ability to create fire from his hands after taking promicin.
* Chan Ho Yin/Scorch on ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', in the episode "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E5GirlInTheFlowerDress Girl in the Flower Dress]]". Notably, in his episode, the [[ArcVillain Centipede Group]] performs experiments on him that ''remove'' his RequiredSecondaryPowers and leaves him vulnerable to his own fire powers.
* In ''Series/TheAmazingExtraordinaryFriends'', Blaze was a superheroine with fire-based powers. However, being turned into a HumanPopsicle resulted in a FaceHeelTurn and her becoming AnIcePerson called Ice. Flashbacks occasionally show her in action as Blaze.
* Dani in ''Series/{{Believe}}'', perhaps a physical manifestation of her anger as she has very powerful PsychicPowers.
* Most demons in ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' throw fireballs. Phoebe also had this power in her past life.
* Bloom from ''Series/FateTheWinxSaga'' is a Fire Fairy and has the power to create and control fire. As the episodes pass, she learns to use her powers even to heat up liquids to boil and to partially heal minor injuries. In "[[Recap/FateTheWinxSagaS1E6AFantaticHeart A Fanatic Heart]]", [[spoiler:Rosalind reveals that Bloom is not an ordinary Fire Fairy but the keeper of a power as ancient as the Burned Ones themselves, namely the [[MythologyGag Dragon's Flame]]]].
* A couple of Cortexiphan guinea pigs on ''Series/{{Fringe}}'' develop pyrokinesis.
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': All of the dragons breathe fire.
* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'':
** Claire's biological mother, Meredith, and her brother Flint (whose flames are blue, and thus more powerful. Meredith's burn red; however, she has more control. Flint is as thick as two short planks fixed together with stupid glue).
** Mrs. Comey lives at the Sullivan Bros. Carnival. She has the power to generate intense heat from her hands, which she [[MundaneUtility uses to make waffles without plugging in a waffle iron]]. The Carnival also employs the Bowmans, a family of three people (father, mother, and daughter) that can all breathe fire.
* ''Series/IceFantasy'': The members of the Fire Tribe have [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin fire-based powers]].
* ''Franchise/KamenRider'' also has some examples. Notably, [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Kuuga's]] Mighty Form (and all its offshoots), [[Series/KamenRiderAgito Agito's]] Flame Form and Burning Form, [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ryuki]], [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Garren]], [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Hibiki]], [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Kiva's]] Garulu Form, [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Double]]'s Heat Forms, [[Series/KamenRiderOOO OOO]]'s [=TaJaDor=] Combo, [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Fourze]]'s Fire States, [[Series/KamenRiderWizard Wizard]]'s Flame Style, [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Drive]]'s Max Flare powerup, [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Ghost]]'s Toucon Boost Damashii, [[Series/KamenRiderZeroOne Zero-One]] Flaming Tiger, and [[Series/KamenRiderSaber Saber]] himself.
* ''Series/TheMysticKnightsOfTirNaNog'': Rohan's weapon ("fire within me!").
* ''Series/NowhereBoys'': Felix and Heath.
* ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'': Cheryl becomes pyrokinetic in the sixth season. She can turn up the heat in a person's body and start fire just by thinking about it. The CrisisCrossover with ''Series/ChillingAdventuresOfSabrina'' reveals that [[spoiler: Cheryl's pyrokinesis is actually part of the true ancestrial lineage as a Phoenix.]]
* Cassie in ''Series/TheSecretCircle'' uses dark magic to set Luke on fire.
* There are a number of examples from ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', with [[Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman GingaRed]], [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger MagiRed]]/[[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce the Red Mystic Ranger]], and [[Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger ShinkenRed]]/[[Series/PowerRangersSamurai the Red Samurai Ranger]] leading the list. Whenever ElementalPowers come into play, you can bet whoever's got the red suit knows how to turn up the heat! (Except Ninja Storm, where red presents [[BlowYouAway air.]] Even then, the Hawk Zord has a fire attack, and ColorCodedForYourConvenience means his weapon's blast's look pretty fiery.)
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E73ItsAGoodLife It's a Good Life]]", it is mentioned that Anthony set Teddy Reynolds on fire for thinking mean thoughts about him.
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'':
** In "Gramma", it is mentioned that the title character used her powers to burn down several of her neighbors' houses.
** In "Dead Run", the demons who guard the condemned in {{Hell}} can light cigarettes by pressing them into the palms of their hands.
** A variation in "The Toys of Caliban". [[spoiler:Toby Ross is shown a picture of fire by his father Ernest and is able to start one with his mind as a result of his ability to [[YourMindMakesItReal manifest something after seeing a picture of it]]. As Ernest intended, the fire burns their house down and kills them both.]]
* ''Franchise/UltraSeries''
** Series/UltramanMebius' Burning Brave Mode possesses fire powers, primarily the ability to create a burst of flames used to incinerate monsters as a FinishingMove. In the same series, GUYS upgrades its Maquette Kaiju Windam with the fire powers of [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Zetton]], [[Series/UltraSeven Pandon]], and [[Series/UltramanLeolack End]] to create Fire Windam, giving it an ArmCannon that shoots fireballs.
** ''Series/UltramanRB'': Ultraman Rosso's default form uses fire powers, in contrast to [[MakingASplash his brother's water powers]], but the two are able to switch powers around if needed.
** Series/UltramanOrb's Burnmite form, which is created from a combination of Mebius' powers and those of Series/UltramanTaro.
*** Similarly, Series/UltramanGeed has Solid Burning, a combination of Series/UltraSeven and Series/UltramanLeo.
** One of Franchise/UltramanZero's pals is Glen-Fire, an {{expy}} of an earlier Creator/TsuburayaProductions hero named Series/{{Fireman}}.
** Lots of kaiju. [[MultipleHeadCase Pandon]], [[FeatheredFiend Birdon]], [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs Golza]], [[ThePhoenix Litra]], [[GaiasVengeance Zambolar]], [[PantheraAwesome Gorah]], [[HitodamaLight Femigon]], [[MagmaMan Grangon, Demaaga, Giralen, Sodom]], [[BigCreepyCrawlies Enzan]], [[FlamingSword Firemons]], [[ChestBlaster Geel]], [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Fire-Draco]], [[LongList etc.]]

** Logain burns down the bars of his cage to escape after the Aes Sedai guarding him are distracted as his followers attack, releasing him from their hold so he can touch the One Power again.
** Egwene is learning. In Episode 3 she starts a campfire, but her flame is barely stronger than sparks from flint and steel. In Episode 5 she manages to burn ropes to set Perrin free.
* ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'': Callisto [[spoiler:(she was a god)]] is a [[http://i2.listal.com/image/947820/500full.jpg perfect]] [[http://www.xena.nu/callistogod.JPG example]] of this trope in both supernatural power and firey temper.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* ''Fanfic/{{Antipodes}}'': Incendia possesses extremely powerful fire magic, allowing her to create devastating firestorms, absorb fires into herself, and [[MundaneUtility cook without needing to use a stove]].
* ''Fanfic/TheBigFourCjupsherSeries'': Various people are shown possessing pyrokinetic abilities.
* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm''
** Most magical people are capable of doing this, but few are particularly good at it -- the jack of all trades thing being in play.
*** Loki is very skilled, but it's not his go-to ability (unsurprising, considering his vast range and preference for illusions and shapeshifting).
*** Harry Dresden is a prodigy and his proclivity for leaving lots of things in his wake on fire is mentioned repeatedly -- a [[spoiler: Death Curse]] powered fire blast from him ends up launching Gravemoss from under Paris all the way to the North Sea. He's more than capable with other elements, when necessary, particularly air magic.
*** Harry Thorson is also a prodigy, if not even more so than Dresden -- by the age of 14, he's wielding the kind of laser-like beams of energy and high-end temperature manipulation that Dresden didn't master until he was in his mid thirties. It's implied that he gets this from his mother, and that both relate to [[spoiler: their connection to the Phoenix Force, which his mother eventually merged with]]. As the sequel demonstrates, he ''can'' use other elements when he has to, and he's a skilled air mage and a very powerful telekinetic, but he leans quite heavily on his more intuitive fire magic -- which, as is occasionally noted, risks making him predictable. As is also noted, however, he's so ridiculously powerful and good with it that it generally doesn't matter.
** Phoenix Hosts get cosmic scale pyrokinesis as part of the bargain, with flames that tend to ignore little things like the laws of physics, used for both offence and [[FirePurifies healing]]. This is part of the reason why Phoenix Hosts tend to be very temporary - the flames are fuelled by emotions, and fuel emotions in turn, risking a vicious cycle that results in a Dark Phoenix. As [[spoiler: Surtur]] demonstrated, this can be a galactic scale problem. Also, the more powerful they are, the quicker they burn through a host and, indeed, reality around them.
* In ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'', Asuka possesses fire powers.
-->She sat upright, face contorted into an angry scowl, her fists suddenly ablaze with flame.
* [[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Sam]]]] as part of the ''Fanfic/FacingTheFutureSeries''.
* Haeten from ''Fanfic/HardBeingPure'' is a pyrokinetic. Astrex also uses a weak flame spell to good effect.
* In Fanfic/KeepersOfTheElements, Izzy gains this as her Element.
* [[SupportingProtagonist Nathaniel Augustine']] psychic powers manifest this way in ''Fanfic/TheLegacyOfTheBloodRavens''.
* ''Fanfic/TheNewAdventuresOfInvaderZim'':
** [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Norlock's]] favorite magical attack is to launch blasts of black fire.
** In Episode 11, Viera gains an amulet called the Eye of Fire, which shoots fire on command.
* Any magic user, even normal mages, in ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'' can do this, but fire manipulation is [[LadyOfBlackMagic Olga's]] speciality.
* ''Fanfic/ThePriceOfFlight'' is set in the Literature/{{Discworld}} as envisioned by Creator/AAPessimal. The Ankh-Morpork City Air Watch is made up of City witches -- who for most of the time are policewomen who give Sam Vimes an aerial dimension. The ''rest'' of the time, if necessary, they are a combat Air Force. Their principal weapon in air fighting is the directed fireball. Air witches receive a thorough training in generating fireballs and in accurately aiming them as air-to-air missiles -- fireballs can also be employed for strafing surface targets, with a devastating result.
* Gerland in FanFic/TheTaintedGrimoire is a master of fire-based spells.
* The wizard Emeth from ''Fanfic/WarriorsOfTheWorld'' specialises in fire spells.
* Aurora Borealis has this as her special talent in ''Fanfic/{{Whispers}}''.
* Celestia gets some aspects of this ability in the [[FanFic/TriptychContinuum Triptych Continuum]], which seems to be a unique side effect stemming from her link to Sun. However, she hasn't been shown to generate direct flame. Instead, she seems to create pure ''heat'', apparently from nowhere. (This is in contrast to pegasi who know the heat-shifting ''technique'': hot spots can be created -- by lowering the temperature somewhere else.) She can channel this on a very small and subtle scale: in particular, she can literally burn out infections. However, when she gets upset, the temperature in her vicinity tends to spike… [[spoiler: [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/131321/a-mark-of-appeal A Mark Of Appeal]] shows her having a nightmare in which the ability goes out of control, sending Equestria into literal meltdown.]]
* In ''Fanfic/TheWitchOfTheEverfree'', while Sunset has a wide variety of spells at her disposal, she has a particular affinity for fire magic, and has a set of enchantments on her to make herself fireproof.
* In ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'', a blink-and-you-will-miss-it moment hints that Asuka has pyrokinesis. During a scene where she's pissed, a small leaf spontaneously combusted near from her, and Shinji attributed it to Asuka.
* At the end of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9901020/1/A-Warm-Blizzard A Warm Blizzard]]'', a ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' fanfic, Prince Hans is revealed to be a pyrokinetic as a counterbalance [[AnIcePerson to Elsa's frost]]. A binding was put in place so [[spoiler:he won't be able to use his magic, but a magical scissor unlocks his powers.]]
%%* Azazel and Uriel can use this element in ''Literature/AesirCrossWars''.
* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': One of [[spoiler: the Nightmare's powers; it is shown throwing a fireball during the final battle. Xvital also gains this when she gains magic; in the days after, it's noted that she has trouble with accidentally creating fire in her sleep.]]
* ''Fanfic/APrizeForThreeEmpires'' has ComicBook/JeanGrey and ComicBook/CarolDanvers, both of which are able to produce and manipulate cosmic fire.
-->Jean turned into Phoenix, and still stood between her and the car.\\
Carol set her suitcase down, and, in a burst of flame, became Binary.
* ''[[Fanfic/RedSadie Ruby Stars]]'': [[spoiler:As she's part Ruby, ]]Sadie has the ability to summon fire, which she unfortunately finds out by accidentally setting a wooden support beam on fire and causing the warehouse they were in to go up in flames.
* ''Fanfic/{{DNMC}}'' features D'Arg Forrest who, after getting [[AppliedPhlebotinum Dust]] infused into his blood, can shoot fire and [[FlamingSword set his swords on fire]]. However, while he's immune to ''external'' fire (Ex.: Clu held a lighter to his face to no avail), he's not immune to ''his own'' fire (Ex.: A fireball he shot from a nick on his cheek cauterized it shut afterwards.)
* ''Webcomic/ScoobAndShag'': Daphne's Ballyhoo power, "Burn-In", lets her hit her opponents with projectiles that cause them to start burning up. The main flaw is that this can be staved off if the target keeps moving. However, Fred's Freeze Frame does nothing but immobilize targets, meaning they make an ''excellent'' combination.
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'': Chloe Cerise is granted a cloak from Olmec -- The Cloak of Marchosias and Wepwawet -- with one half of its powers granting her the ability to cast fire. She can breathe Flamethrower, hurl fireballs or sets her donut holer on fire. She can even expands flames from other sources.
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBoilingPoint'': Bosha Urodela is well versed in casting fire and she's not afraid to use it in a variety of ways from {{Fireball}}s, fiery punches and even [[spoiler:transforming herself into a fiery lion.]]
* ''Fanfic/AMoonAndWorldApart'': It's established early on that Sunset has a natural talent with fire-based magic, to the point where she was able to invent a spell that could boil the alcohol right out of a target's body and sober them up in an instant without hurting said target in the process. It's later revealed this same talent is what let her hatch Spike's egg; dragons' eggs need a great deal of external heat to hatch, and she was able to generate that heat all on her own.
* ''Fanfic/TalesOfBlazeAndArtemis'': Allen holds the Fire Miraculous, inhabited by Fenixx, which lets him transform into the fire hero Blaze and grants him the power of Heal Flame.

* The Fire-Human, from ''Machinima/WaterHuman''. He literally looks like he's made of fire and might, in fact, be just an ElementalEmbodiment. His servants also have fire spells.

A person with fire power often possesses -- get this -- [[ElementalPersonalities a fiery personality]]. You could say that they are HotBlooded, [[FourTemperamentEnsemble choleric]], or that the flame of passion burns within them. And who knows, maybe their [[HurricaneOfPuns burning]] [[UnstoppableRage anger]] [[PsychoactivePowers powers their burning hands]]; it's certainly possible for it to make them literally [[BurningWithAnger burn from anger]]. They also tend to be [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance redheads]] (or dye their hair). They may even give you due warning by being {{Fiery Redhead}}s. If they're also a PyroManiac, [[FireMeansChaos heaven help you]]. In JRPGs, this person is likely to be a BlackMagicianGirl. The fires they generate or control may be completely mundane, or in some way [[MagicFire magical.]] If you're ''really'' unfortunate, they'll wield {{Hellfire}}.

* ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'': Cheryl becomes pyrokinetic in the sixth season. She can turn up the heat in a person's body and start fire just by thinking about it. The CrisisCrossoves with ''Series/ChillingAventuresOfSabrina'' reveals that [[spoiler: Cheryl's pyrokinesis is actually part of the true ancestrial lineage as a Phoenix.]]

** Series/UltramanMebius' Burning Brave Mode possesses fire powers, primarily the ability to create a burst of flames used to incinerate monsters as a FinishingMove. In the same series, GUYS upgrades its Maquette Kaiju Windam with the fire powers of [[Series/{{Ultraman}} Zetton]], [[Series/UltraSeven Pandon]], and [[Series/UltramanLeo Black End]] to create Fire Windam, giving it an ArmCannon that shoots fireballs.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has most magical people capable of doing this, but few are particularly good at it -- the jack of all trades thing being in play.
** Loki is very skilled, but it's not his go-to ability (unsurprising, considering his vast range and preference for illusions and shapeshifting).
** Harry Dresden is a prodigy and his proclivity for leaving lots of things in his wake on fire is mentioned repeatedly -- a [[spoiler: Death Curse]] powered fire blast from him ends up launching Gravemoss from under Paris all the way to the North Sea. He's more than capable with other elements, when necessary, particularly air magic.
** Harry Thorson is also a prodigy, if not even more so than Dresden -- by the age of 14, he's wielding the kind of laser-like beams of energy and high-end temperature manipulation that Dresden didn't master until he was in his mid thirties. It's implied that he gets this from his mother, and that both relate to [[spoiler: their connection to the Phoenix Force, which his mother eventually merged with]]. As the sequel demonstrates, he ''can'' use other elements when he has to, but he leans quite heavily on his more intuitive fire magic -- which, as is occasionally noted, risks making him predictable. As is also noted, however, he's so ridiculously powerful and good with it that it generally doesn't matter.
* In ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'', Asuka possesses fire powers.

* In ''[[TabletopGame/SeventhSea 7th Sea]]'', there is the rare sorcery "El Fuego Adentro" of Castille, where a practitioner can create and wield fire. Just don't let the [[CorruptChurch Inquisition]] find out...

** Strangely enough, the ''Druid'' class is prone to this trope, gaining spells like Produce Flame, Flame Sphere, and Flame Blade within their first few spell levels. If that's not enough, Wild Shape lets them take the forms of elementals, including, yes, FIRE.
*** 5th Edition even has the Druid Circle of Wildfire, based on the role of natural fires in a forest ecosystem. Wildfire Druids can give up a use of Wild Shape to summon a fire elemental in the shape of an animal as a companion.
** Ironically, fire is also the most commonly resisted damage type, leading it to being shunned by dedicated powergamers in 3rd edition in favor of [[MakeMeWannaShout sonic damage]].

* The Pyrokinetic mutant ability in ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}''. Of course, [[CrapsackWorld this]] [[TotalPartyKill being]] ''[[KillerGameMaster Paranoia]]'', if it's actually helping at any point, the GM will probably cause the pyrokinetic to cook off the grenades he's carrying or otherwise inflict [[HilarityEnsues hilarity]] on the hapless fellow.

* Wilder and Wallace in ''Wilder Napalm'' are two brothers with pyrokinetic abilities. Things start heating up between them when they start querreling over a woman.

* Lewis from ''WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated'' uses his ghostly abilities to light some candles, braziers and his own hair with with magenta flames before filling an entire haunted mansion with the stuff. He is also able wreath his hands in the purple flames in a fight.

* ''Franchise/KamenRider'' also has some examples. Notably, [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Kuuga's]] Mighty Form (and all its offshoots), [[Series/KamenRiderAgito Agito's]] Flame Form and Burning Form, [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ryuki]], [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Garren]], [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Hibiki]], [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Kiva's]] Garulu Form, [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Double]]'s Heat Forms, [[Series/KamenRiderOOO OOO]]'s [=TaJaDor=] Combo, [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Fourze]]'s Fire States, and [[Series/KamenRiderWizard Wizard]]'s Flame Style; plus [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Drive]]'s Max Flare powerup.

* In ''TabletopGame/HeavyGear'', the ''Flammjager'' gear was not only a specialised incendiary mecha, but its pilots had a (justified) reputation as Pyromaniacs.

* ''Series/NowhereBoys'': Felix.

* In ''Fanfic/TheBigFourCjupsherSeries'', various people are shown possessing pyrokinetic abilities.

* ''Series/TheWheelOfTime'': Logain burns down the bars of his cage to escape after the Aes Sedai guarding him are distracted as his followers attack, releasing him from their hold so he can touch the One Power again.
