Seeking Sanctuary #11 Point A to Point B

Seeking Sanctuary #10 The Deal

LOT: Heatwave

#3 in my Legends of Tomorrow Favorites List. At this point it's pretty clear that all the characters I like most are canonically the least charming members of the team. Mick Rory aka Heatwave is a pyromaniac and career criminal, the gruff thug to Captain Cold's smooth talking rogue. Mick joins the team because Cold said it was a good idea and because it offers the opportunity to go new places and steal new things. He is up for anything and 100% OK with many of the less heroic actions the Legends have to take on their mission (theft, kidnapping, attempted assassination, and just general violence). However, his aggressive, unpredictable behavior can make him a liability, particularly with something as sensitive as Time Travel.

Like Rip, Mick costume is very earth tone and practical but I particularly love his bulky, shapeless jacket which I assume is flame retardant. The design and shape of the Heat Gun is also something I always found interesting. It's more low tech than the Cold Gun, basically a handheld flamethrower. 

The original idea was for Mick to be snarling and shooting the heat gun out at the viewer but it's always been interesting how low-key the actor chooses to play such a violent, hot-tempered  character. So I went with him staring into his own flame, something quite but intense and kind of scary.
