An explanation to his fire powers:

In my fictional universe, everyone is born with a natural affinity for an element, so if they contracted an elemental of that said element, he or she would be much more powerful with it. But, if the persons affinity with the element runs in his blood for several generations, like a fire affinity with fire affinity making a child, the child would have built up affinity for that element, like a combo.

When many of these affinities build up, the said person can gain some power of that element. If this continues to chain together, some form of external object may form to help control the immense power at the person's disposal, if that power was released, then the outcome is either a pyromaniac, a tornado maker, a walking water hose or a dangerous landscaper.
