Background
Miles Vulpe was born and raised in Acmetropolis to the rich and wealthy Vulpes family. He lived a normal life but often got into fights which had his parents put him in anger management classes, which didn't work.

When the Meteor hit, Miles was given the powers of the magma. He changed his name to Vulcanus, and soon became a villain, but didn't start attacking for a while.
