History: (Power of Shazam II #1 (fb, BTS), 2 (fb, BTS)) - Mild George Tweedle was transformed into the terrible Arson Fiend. Arson Fiend came into conflict with the superhero Captain Marvel, and was defeated.

(Power of Shazam II #2) - Ebenezer Batson hired the Arson Fiend to set a small fire in his mansion during his son Sinclair’s dinner party. The villain Blaze recently burned down Sinclair’s WayneTech facility, and hiring the Fiend was Ebenezer’s way or garnering more sympathy for his son. The Fiend predictably got out of hand, and set the mansion ablaze. Captain Marvel came to the rescue, and the completely psychotic Fiend tried to kill Ebenezer. Marvel enlisted the responding firemen, who doused the Fiend with a hose, allowing Marvel to tackle huim. While Marvel was tending to Ebenezer the Fiend changed back into George Tweedle and escaped.
