** Probably Jossed in ''Meet The Medic''. He does have a doctorate degree, but his license to practice medicine was revoked.
* ''[[Left 4 Dead|Keith's]] [[Running Gag|grandfather]]''. How can he survive everything that happens to him? Hereditary healing factor, of course!
* ''A grown-up male version of the [[BioShock (series)|Little Sister]].'' Dr. Tenenbaum tried to make a Little Brother, but his self-healing abilities were too slow-acting to be useful so he was promptly abandoned on the surface. When he grew up he got his doctor's degree and, using the invincibility powers of ADAM, invented the Medigun. Notice that he also has a preference towards being protected by big, tough, gun-wielding brutes... Sometime before the game, RED sent him back to Rapture to recover something of interest (possibly more of Tenenbaum's research) and ended up recruiting the splicer that became the Pyro. The [https://web.archive.org/web/20100525090008/http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Little_Brother artbook for the second game] does mention the existence of "Little Brothers" as a deleted concept; in-universe, they were implanted with the same slugs as the sisters (possibly with similar abilities conferred), but apparently became too violent and destructive to be used as efficient gatherers. Hmm... he has their iconic weapon, the Vita-Saw…
** ''Related Theory: Medic is Tenenbaum's brother.'' He lost track of his sister in the camps, and never saw her again. He had a medical talent and scientific curiosity to match hers, but as he grew more tortured and twisted by what he was forced to do, he grew to resent the altruistic behavior he remembered of her, becoming increasingly certain that she had been killed because of her naiveté … [[Stockholm Syndrome|gradually, he began to suspect that]] [[Moral Event Horizon|his captors had the right idea….]]
* ''Gay.'' Remember, the Nazi's most famous racial prejudice was against Jews, but they also sent gypsies, the mentally and physically disabled, and ''homosexuals'' to concentration camps. Thus, why he was never a Nazi, as he agreed with their views on human life, but not on gay rights.
Line 773:
*** It's an interesting theory, although why Dell would program a robot to have a habit of wearing women's clothing just raises further questions, unless he's still working out the kinks in the AI.
*** Maybe brain uploading played a role.
* ''A cisgendered woman.'' Hinted at by the in-game character bios plus the fact that no one could tell what is going on under that flame-retardant suit. What clinches it for this editor is the purse in Pyro's locker. Next time you spawn in the game, check it out. The lead developer of TF2 referred to the Pyro as "her" in [https://web.archive.org/web/20090918042602/http://www.csnation.net/articles.php/interview_244/1
** ''Relatedly:'' The Pyro may have decided to install a voice filter on the mask because she knows that otherwise all the guys on both teams would constantly be jokingly hitting on her and it would get annoying. (Oh yeah, plus the all-male mercenary group in '68 thing below, thank you).
*** Alternatively: the Pyro is [[The Venture Brothers|Doctor Girlfriend]].
Line 1,348:
The Pyro is not a he, or a she. Pyro is a robot, created by Engineer; (some of his eleven [[PH Ds]] could be in biological or robotic engineering), possibly as a prototype for the Manns, as transferring their brains into robot bodies would be an easy way to appease them while Dell could keep the life extender machine's blueprints for himself. The suit actually IS the Pyro's skin, and beneath the eyes of the gas mask are cameras, possibly in infrared. More evidence for this theory can be found in Meet The Spy: (One of the possible messages on the alert screen is ''The Pyro is/a Robot'',) True Meaning, (Dell lives with Pyro) and The Foundry map: There are photos in the RED team's room on Foundry, and a prominent bloodstain in BLUs. 1961 is the year the Unimate robot was first installed on an assembly line, while the neatly divided sectioned word fragments in the sign reading AU'''TO-BOR'''AX spell '''"ROBOT"''' backwards. While we're on the subject, guess who uses the ax? As for when Meet the Pyro comes out... maybe '''AU'''GUST of 2012? Alternatively,
an Australium Ax could be the Pyro's next weapon...
