Toa Igniter is a failed experiment by the Order of Mata-Nui. He is a character in comic series written by Gerlicky.
History
Training on Daxia
Toa Igniter was an experiment by the Order of Mata Nui to create a hero for islands where there would be no Toa. They created him and trained him with a device that simulated the duty of saving the Matoran of Voya-Nui from Piraka.
The Negative Results
Toa Igniter succeeded his training, but it went a little too far. When two members of the Order let him off the machine, he stared at them blankly, called them "HAKANN", and punched them in the stomach. Within minutes, several more members put him to sleep with sleeping gas and threw him into an alternate dimension.
Powers
Toa Igniter has a strange ability to change his weapon and powers depending on the mask he wears.
As well using his Zamor launcher and his ability to "destract" foes, Toa Igniter is also capable of generating small force fields.
Appearances
That's Messed Up: The Series
Toa Igniter first appeared in That's Messed Up: The Series, making his debut in Episode 12 and continuing to appear in later comics.
That's Messed Up: Creator's Wrath
Toa Igniter made his debut in Episode III of That's Messed Up: Creator's Wrath. Here, he attacks two Matoran and a Toa trying to move the original characters' belongings into the Underworld. His personality has remained the same from the previous installment.
Another thing interesting is that he loses his Piraka torso and replaces it with a Jaller Inika body. Gerlicky has confirmed that if the previous installment were in Rayg, he would look like this. This appearance is supposed to resemble the hero from Bionicle Heroes DS, and is noted as "a distinctive new flavor".
Also in these comics, Toa Igniter believes Aquatic Lewa is Vezon. Gerlicky disagrees with this, because Toa Igniter does not believe in Vezon. However, he believes Hydraxotron is a minion of the Piraka, and perhaps this thought is similar to his confusion for Aquatic Lewa.
Toa Igniter later teamed up with Chuck Norris and Mantax to take down the Guardian robots invading the city. The result was successful until the "Super Action Force Team" lost the Underworld Leader after he disappeared.
Later in the series, Toa Igniter found a cave made completely out of blue and purple crystal near the Underworld Outskirts. He adopted this cave as his hideout, renaming it "the Igniter Cave", and led Gerlicky, Tetrii, Trevor, Blade Titan974, Chokii, and VakamaTK to it.

- That being said, Toa Igniter currently has no role in the next TMU and may not appear. Gerlicky does not like this fact.
