Compared to Nero and the rest, Jackal had actually spent much more time in the military, and he had trained quite extensively with his innate ability. His flame was actually quite mundane. If he could keep it burning for a while, the temperature would eventually rise, but initially its temperature would be quite low as far as flames are concerned.
But just because his flames were not as versatile as Nero's, for example, he had learned numerous ways in which he could make them much more effective. The building kept putting out his flames using some kind of white smoke. He could not guess what that smoke was or how exactly it was putting out the flames, but he could combat it in a few ways. The method he had opted for right now was a special, flammable gel that he had spread throughout the room, though he kept it far from the cracks leading to the next room.
