I think mr b3th would have qualified for this title.
As a youngster in Kent, back in the 50s, he managed to blow up a phone box, set fire to the police station roof, flood the cricket pitch, and turn all the ducks in the local pond purple.

His mother wouldn't hear a word against him, saying he was just high-spirited.

It's entirely possible
He also used to take apart electrical things and reassemble them, to figure out how they worked. Surprisingly, he became an engineer.

My father reactivated and fired an ornamental cannon in the University of Toronto library,
firing burning loo roll into the air.

mr b3th has just told me he also fired a pistol loaded with too much powder, and blew a hole in the back gate.
I'm guessing that would have been his dad's service gun.

Mr b3th used his Dad's weapon to blow your back doors open.
