Circle around him while looking at the compass just in case. If the compass stops pointing to him, be confused. Otherwise, tell him that he needs to come with us. Ask him what he knows about aliens.

Continue eating popcorn and staying at a safe distance. I want to avoid a fight, if possible.
Name: Golden Star
Description: A black mask with a big and very bright golden star covering the frontal part of it. It comes with a black martial arts Gi with a golden belt. The suit also includes a golden cape with a star pattern that is always waving in the wind, even indoors.
Gimmick: Famous [2]: The iconic suit is exactly the same as the one used by the superhero protagonist in the global hit movie "Star of Justice". This does absolutely nothing remarkable, but maybe it will attract more fans and extra acclaim from the masses when doing heroic, noncombat actions like: doing heroic poses, heroic entrances/escapes, helping a cat stuck in a tree, heroic smiling at the camera, heroic boasting to the enemy, etc.
Weakness: Fight? [5]: Wait, you mean REAL fighting? Golden Star doesn't know how to perform any type of attack but basic punches, and these are even weaker than those of a normal human. He's incredibly weak in strenght and terribly unskilled in combat, with a high tendency to self-injury.
Signature: Punch of Justice! [5]: Golden Star calls upon the power of every single fan around the universe and uses all of their strenght for a single, ultimate attack. He punches the enemy with the strenght of a thousand suns, completely obliterating everything in it's path. The attack deals massive damage to anything it connects with and destroys anything it collides with. It takes some time to wind up, leaves the user exhausted and it's destructive potential doesn't discern between ally or enemy.

Ninja circles around just to make sure that the thing is pointing at the man. It is. He asks the man to come with them, while also asking him what he knows about aliens. The man doesn't budge and his face remains impassive. After a moment he finally starts talking.
"The greatest predator a man will ever face is his past. It will always catch him. Hmph. There are families around here, good people. My wife and our children. Others. I will not abandon this life I have made without a fight, but I would prefer not to do it here."
"AH, thanks for bringing the battle outside! That's super helpful, miss. If we could just ... over there ... let's ... back to that guy there."
HAP's gonna see if he can steer this thing! He'll flip around behind, sit in the small of her torrid back, and try to point her feet to bring her closer to Threnody, or a body of water.
((I can't think of a more ridiculous action, except maybe sticking a finger up her nose. Oh sure, he cold like, hit her or jump away and not catch fire himself, but how Lucha would that be?))

Effectively just observe and let the welcoming committee do their job. Only engage if the aliens do something hostile, and even then only protect others until it becomes obvious the hostile action is intentionally malevolent instead of just a misunderstanding. Golden Eagle emphasizes that last point; Earth almost went to war with Mars the first time the Martian's landed and their greeting was misconstrued as an attempt to strangle the emissary. Apparently the welcoming committee is already waiting at the projected landing site; for the moment you'll just be acting as security; unless things get weird or dangerous.
[2]
You attempt to scramble around and redirect the lady's flight but a sudden turn causes you to entirely lose your grip and fall off. You find yourself falling, arms crossed with a rather annoyed expression on your face. This wasn't what you had in might when trying to get back to Threnody.
[2]
There's nothing nearby for you to grab hold of so you just fall straight into the asphalt.
[8]
You land with a tremendous bang, embedding yourself a good two feet in the ground. You're still just laying there with your arms crossed and an annoyed expression.
"Hero, throw her down! I got this!"
If HAP throws flame lady down, break her fall with a flashy team attack singing knee. Otherwise, follow them.

SORRY summer work has been a mammoth and I haven't had regular access to a computer.
Follow them and sling random items (from around town, like manhole covers) at the beast as I go
[2]
You pick up a manhole cover and hurl it up at the pyromanic. It sails past her and disappears into the distance, probably landing in the ocean. You hope.
Hot Head changes her course and swoops back down towards the group, riding an increasingly huge plume of flame. She slips between the buildings and charges straight down the road, flying only 10 or so feet above the ground. She holds her hands out to the side and the flame behind her grows even greater, expanding into a rushing wall of fire. Cars are yanked up into the air and tumble along the front of that wave of flame like pebbles in a wave.
"This is a level 5 pyrokinetic?"
"Yep."
"How high does the scale go?"
"20 I think."
"Remind me to get an asbestos suit."
