Fire Nation Man is an Earthbender who is a fighter in Earth Rumble VI. However, his name is contradicted by the fact that he is not a real Fire Nation citizen and he is actually an Earthbender. His intent is to merely taunt them.

History
Fire Nation Man is a contestant in Earth Rumble VI. He carries a Fire Nation flag, wears a red cape, and sports a stereotypical Fire Nation hairstyle; he somewhat resembles Admiral Zhao, though not in figure. Fire Nation Man speaks with a thick accent as part of his gimmick for the tournament. Even though his name is "Fire Nation Man", he is really an Earthbending fighter, and according to DVD commentary, an immigrant from the desert. He acts like a Fire Nation citizen and gets easily defeated just for show. In Earth Rumble VI, he is quickly defeated by The Boulder in the tournament. When all of the Earth Rumble fighters kidnapped Toph, Fire Nation Man gets defeated almost effortlessly by her.

From what little is shown of his Earthbending, Fire Nation Man seems to prefer using dirt-based attacks, as opposed to solid rock. In his second appearance, he arrives in the ring using a dust tornado, and Earthbends a large stream of dirt at Toph. This would be consist with his desert upbringing, where Sandbenders specialize in bending loose Earth.

It is unknown why he didn't join The Boulder and The Hippo in the invasion of the Fire Nation.

Trivia

 * Fire Nation Man shows a resemblance in his entrance to that of many "bad guy" foreign wrestlers, most notably Nikolai Volkoff who was known for singing the Russian national anthem prior to his matches in the WWF, much to the crowd's ire. Another point that links the two is his aforementioned thick accent, which sounds stereotypicaly Russian.
 * Additionally, the boots Fire Nation Man wears have the pointed tip at the end, in the style of The Iron Shiek.
 * It is revealed in Avatar Extras, that the Fire Nation Man isn't even from the Fire Nation but an Earthbending Wrestler which makes him seem like the "bad guy" wrestlers
