In his search for a part-time job at Big Belly Burger , Mikey found himself caught between the eco-obsessed Floronic Man and a flame-wielding hero known as Vulcan . When Mikey's quick thinking helped save the day, Vulcan recruited the resourceful orphan as his newest sidekick.

With his dying breath, Vulcan passed his fire-based powers onto Mikey with a touch. Imbued with fantastic powers but no direction, Mikey sought answers in the Forge , Vulcan's high-tech headquarters. With help from Vulcan's android aide, Pandora , Mikey helped himself to a collection of Vulcan's state-of-the-art weaponry before security protocols caused the Forge to self-destruct and infected Pandora with a virus than interfered with her programation.
