· Profile: Bobby used to be an outcast by his own will, the kind of guy who need nothing but his electric guitar to feel good. Under false pretenses Bobby entered Project Genesis, a program designed by IO to create a superpowered beings for the government's use, nullifying their wills with drugs. Bobby and teammates Fairchild, Freefall, Grunge, and Rainmaker attempted to escape when his powers first manifested and he discovered his latent power, to turn into living plasma and being able to fly as well as to fire targets. In the end it was the Director of IO, John Lynch, who managed to save the team. The team decided to stay together and are currently residing with Lynch as their mentor in La Jolla, CA. Bobby is currently attending the University of California, San Diego. During the Fire From Heaven conflict, Burnout learned that Lynch is his father. This discovery has made their current relationship awkward. Burnout has some strong feelings toward fellow teammate and friend Sarah Rainmaker which have gone largely unanswered.

· Powers/Abilities: Burnout was the nickname Bobby's high school peers pinned on him in reflection of his sullen personality. Ironically, Burnout can project coherent high energy plasma. The plasma bursts into flame when exposed to oxygen. In addition to being impervious to heat and able to fly by creating thermal updrafts, Burnout can form fiery plasma shields capable of melting bullets and deflecting energy blasts. He has such infinite control that he can melt sand into detailed glass sculptures.
