The night sky hung over Bellwood, California "The Most Normal Town in America". The moon shining brightly in the sky made it nearly impossible to see any stars in the night sky. While the town certainly slowed down, as with most cities, it still had plenty of life in it during the night time hours.

BRRRIIINNNGGGG!

Speaking of which.

A duo of masked men were running out of a jewelry store, both carrying a duffel bag full of money, diamonds and anything else valuable they could get their hands on.

Thug 1: Come on, let's go!

Thug 2: Calm down dude, we got plenty of time before the pigs put their donuts down and do something.

The lead criminal merely scoffed at his companion's nonchalance.

The duo ran over to a large van, where they began to unload their ill-gotten goods, but then the third criminal noticed something strange.

Thug 2: Goddamn, are you hot, man?

Thug 1: No, just load up an-

He stopped as he looked down at his arm and saw that he was sweating.

Thug 1: Actually, yeah, I am.

???: That's probably me.

The crooks jumped at the unfamiliar voice and turned around to see who it was.

And nearly shat themselves in fear.

The person - no, the thing - that faced them looked like something out of a horror movie.
Its body was made of reddish molten rock, with magma glowing through cracks in its heated body. Its head resembled a stone mask, bathed in a raging fire. Its oversized hands had four digits, while their feet had only two and a strange emblem was placed on its chest.

(Heatblast: Burn, Baby, Burn)

Heatblast: Sup.

The creature spoke, his voice deep and gravelly.

Thug 2: Holy shit! It's a monster!

Heatblast let out a dramatic gasp nd put his large hand on his chest in an offended manner.

Heatblast: Monster?! That really hurts, y'know. I promise, I'm a really cool guy once you get to know me.

He finger gunned in their direction as they simultaneously pulled their real guns out

Heatblast: Wow, you guys are in sync! I can't even lie. The way you both did that at the same time was just amazing. Did you practice that?

The alien gave his congratulations as the thugs opened fire. He responded with a mock yawn, the bullets doing nothing to his rocky hide.
