Killer Instinct/Cinder

A criminal who was promised early release by Ultratech in exchange for participating in chemical weapons research. As a result of an accident during testing, his body is composed entirely of flame. He is promised a return to his original form if he is able to defeat Glacius in the tournament. In the early development stages of the game, his name was Meltdown, but this was soon afterwards changed to Cinder.

Cinder has two No Mercy moves; the first creates a pool of magma under the opponent, who melts into it. The second shoots them with flames to reduce them to ashes.
