I’d like the pyromania affiliation of David Koresh combined with a classical case of spontaneous human combustion.

(Although, I am convinced that SHC is just a matter of everything being more flammable in the olden days. “Grandma was just enjoying her cigar and big jug of 150 proof moonshine, while on her rocking chair made from white phosphorus, and then she just like caught fire for no reason! Spontaneous human combustion!”)

Combine the above traits with the suicidal tendencies of a coked up Jim Jones, but in a more solitary way; Possibly with the hubris and stupidity of Michael Hughes (Note: Of all the names mentioned here, I should be fair and point out that he was never a cult leader), just to add that darwin-award aspect of it all.

As you might guess: I’m not very fond of cult leaders, even though they fascinate me.
