Andrew Van Horn, a.k.a. Gunfire, is a hero.
History
Gunfire had gone to the Sanctuary to deal with the stress of his activities as a vigilante. When a fellow patient went into distress and lost control of his powers from a mysterious force, Gunfire and others who had approached out of concern were fatally wounded and died at the scene.[1]
However, Van Horn and his fellow patients were in reality replaced with clones from the 35th Century at the moment of their supposed deaths by the time-traveler Gold Beetle, who brought the survivors to the Timepoint, a place outside of history. From there, he and the others returned to the 21st Century to help the Flash Family fight off an invasion of Earth at super-speed by the Fraction.[2]
