Pozharr, or close enough. I can record the sound for you if needed. Can I ask what do you need it for? I'm intrigued.

Well, I still don't see a need to make original characters when Marvel's library of them is so IMMENSE, like.

Пожар is the kind of fire that burns something in a bad way (like a house fire or a wildfire), because a camp fire would be a different word, and just some sort of fire would be another different word. This one is for the kind of fire firemen are supposed to fight, y'know?

i agree, but there's a certin amount of freedom with custom characters, and many of the marvel side charcter would be hard to make unique powerstyles with.

thanks for the help with the russian by the way!

I agree with Noel about custom characters. Personally I see them as just using up a valuable slot for official characters if they end up being released.

There are tonnes (http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Pyrokinesis) of characters that have some sort of firey power so there's bound to be something like what you want. There are only so many ways to show off fire powers, after all.

I disagree with Dihan and Noelemanch... You see, I like making custom character's because I get to decide everything about them. (you know skins, personality) and that way no one can't come to me complaining about the skin not looking right, inappropriate sound file, effects looking wrong compared to comics etc. etc.
And I don't think that one would be able to find a comic of a character of their liking to make them look correct
