James James

Biography
J.T. James is an Inhuman who was taken to Afterlife under Jiaying's leadership but was expelled from the community before undergoing Terrigenesis for trying to steal from its archives. After he finally gained his Inhuman powers with the intervention of Hive and Daisy Johnson, he started calling himself Hellfire.

Following his liberation from Hive's influence, James started hating what he became and made a deal with the Watchdogs to help them exterminate the Inhumans. When Quake and Jemma Simmons visited James to warn him about attacks on registered Inhumans, James betrayed them and headed them over to the Watchdogs. During that event, he was attacked and defeated by the Ghost Rider and taken into custody by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Powers
James is an Inhuman who achieved his genetic potential after undergoing Terrigenesis, gaining superhuman powers.

Explosion Touch: James can cause items he touches to heat up to the point of explosion. Objects ignited with his power glow brightly for a few seconds before the entire object detonates intensely. The size of the blast created appears to be correlated to the size of the exploding objects; larger objects like coolers and lamps produce a large, violent explosion while smaller objects like pool balls and shot glasses detonate in a small burst. Once he began to fully control hsi power, he chose a simple industrial chain as a weapon, as it was able to withstand his power without exploding and, instead, transmitted his power to other objects.

Abilities
Explosives Mastery: As a former demolitions expert and mercenary, James has extensive experience with the usage of explosives. He knows how to safely install land mines, which he laid throughout his front yard as a defense. James also has access to C-4, which he used to booby-trap and ultimately destroy his home under Hive's influence.
