Liz Sherman

Liz Sherman's History

Born in Kansas City, Kansas, on April 15, 1962, Liz was a normal child until her pyrokinetic abilities began to manifest themselves around her eleventh birthday. The eruption took the lives of her family and destroyed an entire city block. The final tally was 32 casualties, including three firefighters. Liz's file states that her last uncontrolled manifestation was July 4, 1984.She was taken in by the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense where she learned to control her power to some degree. She was often teamed with Hellboy and Abe Sapien. Her childhood trauma left her bitter and she has often left the B.P.R.D., but she always returned, presumably because it is the closest thing to a family she has.She briefly tried to rid herself of her pyrokinesis by using it to jumpstart Roger the Homunculus, and fell into a coma as a result. Liz was taken to the Wauer Institute in Tirgoviste, Romania, until Roger later returned her powers to her after he was plagued by guilt concerning the incident.[1]Liz has recently returned from the Agartha Temple in the Ural Mountains, where she spent time with a society of monks learning to control her pyrokinesis. She is currently back with the B.P.R.D. and doing her best to accept the changes that have been made to the team.As a result of her time amongst the monks, Liz has complete control over fire; she can produce small hand-sized flames to light her way in darkness, or she can erupt in a furious explosion of fire to destroy anything around her. She can also manipulate fire into shapes and designs. Recently, her powers were greatly magnified by a mysterious object. This dramatic increase in her already considerable powers allowed her to burn the towering Katha Hem entity to dust.
