High end feat which happened because the stabylizing glove that allowed him to control his pyrokinesis then was damaged... that's all I want to say.
And it's different from "Cyclops taking off his visor" for a simple reason- it's dangerous for his own health. Read his Wiki bio, the opening paragraph about his "creation" (though now it's stated he wears that glove for the sake of habit, but he hasn't demonstrated anything on THAT level back then).
We have already discussed the issue with Trickster, he's also a KOF fan and he sees little problem with that.
