| Firestorm (DC Comics) (Comic Book) | comment |
Firestorm is a DC Comics character created by Gerry Conway in the late 1970s, as part of the "DC Explosion", a large push of new characters and comics series in the dawn of The Bronze Age of Comic Books. His first appearance was in Firestorm vol. 1 #1 (March, 1978). Unfortunately, this was also one of the titles canceled in the "DC Implosion", ending with issue #5 (November, 1978). But the character survived, first appearing in back-ups in The Flash comics, then joining the Justice League of America, and finally returning to his own book. Fury of Firestorm (later renamed Firestorm the Nuclear Man) lasted for 100 issues, running from June, 1982 to August, 1990. A third Firestorm series was launched in 2004, with a new character in the costume, and ran for three years. A fourth series, The Fury of Firestorm vol. 2, started in September 2011, as part of DC's New 52 relaunch.Firestorm is usually a composite character, with two or more individual characters making up the Firestorm identity, fused together in what is called the "Firestorm matrix". The resulting being has the abilities to rearrange the atomic and molecular structure of objects, fire nuclear "fusion blasts", fly, and phase through solid matter. At will, the members can separate and resume their normal lives; usually this is instigated by the dominant personality.The exact "membership" of the Firestorm matrix has changed from time to time in the comics: The original makeup was high school student Ronald "Ronnie" Raymond and Professor Martin Stein. Caught in the blast when a nuclear reactor Stein was working on was sabotaged and exploded, the two were fused together into a single being, whom Ronnie dubbed Firestorm. Because Stein was unconscious when the explosion occurred, he takes a passive role in the composite, acting as an advisor to Ronnie, who controls Firestorm. After Firestorm and the Russian hero Pozhar (Mikhail Arkadin) were hit by a nuclear bomb, the new Firestorm was composed of Ronnie, Mikhail, and a third personality based on the now-amnesiac Martin Stein. This third personality was in charge, with Ronnie and Mikhail both acting as advisors. An African man named Jama was also part of this combination for a few issues. When a Russian experiment created the fire being Svarozhich, it was revealed that Firestorm had been intended to be Earth's fire elemental, and that it was necessary to resume this role to prevent the creature from running rampant. As a result, Ronnie and Mikhail fused with Svarozhich permanently, and were unable to separate. Stein was not a part of this incarnation of Firestorm. The fusion had its own personality as Earth's fire elemental, and was more concerned with the environment than with heroics. With the Earth threatened by a minion of Darkseid inhabiting the sun, Firestorm needed a way to get off-planet (as the elemental was bound to the Earth). Releasing Ronnie and Mikhail from the matrix, Svarozhich took Stein — revealed as the original intended recipient of the elemental powers — into orbit and detonated, re-creating Stein as the new Firestorm elemental. Stein dealt with the problem, and then departed Earth. When Ronnie was in the hospital dying of leukemia, Stein returned and cured him. This also had the effect of sparking Ronnie's meta-gene and granting him the powers of the original Firestorm without the need to fuse with anybody. Ronnie resumed being a superhero until he was killed during Identity Crisis (2004). Upon Ronnie's death, the Firestorm matrix was released and came to rest within Jason Rusch, a young man struggling to get into college. Initially Jason merged with anybody who was convenient (often homeless people), which could be dangerous for them, as his powers were unstable and could "burn them out", killing them. A visit with Martin Stein in outer space led to a regular partnership with Stein, stabilizing the Matrix; he also frequently merged with Firehawk, or his girlfriend Gehenna. Blackest Night ended with Ronnie's resurrection, and a Firestorm comprised of both Ronnie and Jason, who took turns in the driver's seat. It's not without its problems, as the two don't entirely get along. The Fury of Firestorm: In the New 52, the series was rebooted so that Ronnie and Jason are just now getting caught up in an international arms race regarding "the Firestorm Protocols", which Dr. Stein was involved in. Each one can become an individual Firestorm on their own, and they are just two of several Firestorms worldwide including Pozhar and Firehawk. After sixteen issues of this, the previous idea of Ronnie and Jason merging was restored. The above seems to have been rendered Canon Discontinuity by DC Rebirth, since in Doomsday Clock, not only is Firestorm now back to being Ronnie and Dr Stein, but it's claimed they always were, and Ronnie reacts to learning that Stein created the Firestorm Matrix deliberately as though it's new information, rather than the central point of his previous book. Jason isn't even mentioned. A story in Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn then upended the status quo again, with Stein now in a coma after the Lazarus Rain affects the merger and Ronnie merging with a S.T.A.R. scientist named Dr Ramirez ... then learning they can't seperate without the same thing happening.Media appearancesIn all cases, the host body of the fusion is listed first.Live-Action TV Arrowverse: The Flash (2014) Season One - Ronnie (Robbie Amell) and Dr. Stein (Victor Garber). Jason Rusch also made a brief appearance as one of Stein's students. Legends of Tomorrow Seasons One to Three - Jefferson "Jax" Jackson (Franz Drameh) and Dr. Stein; with Jax being a Composite Character of various comic characters (Ronnie's athleticism, Jason's ethnicity and status as Ronnie's replacement, and the name of one of Ronnie's friends). Vixen Season Two - The Jax/Dr. Stein incarnation makes a guest appearance. In addition, other Firestorm characters have appeared elsewhere in the franchise. Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), an antagonistic businesswoman who became Ronnie's stepmother in the comics, is a regular character on Arrow and is unconnected to Firestorm (and as of the New 52 reboot, the comics have followed suit and Transplanted her to Green Arrow's comic in Green Arrow (2011)). Meanwhile, Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) appears on The Flash as a member of the Flash's support team and, during the first season, Ronnie's fiancée; beginning with Season Three she begins struggling with her comics persona of Killer Frost as a Superpowered Evil Side.Video Games Injustice 2: Jason (Ogie Banks) and Dr. Stein (Fred Tatasciore)Western Animation Superfriends (the Super Powers era) - Ronnie (Mark Taylor) and Dr. Stein (Olan Soule in Legendary Super Powers and Ken Sansom in Galactic Guardians) Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths - Jason (Cedric Yarbrough). It's not clear who his fusion partner is or if he even has one. Batman: The Brave and the Bold - Jason (Tyler James Williams) and Ronnie (Bill Fagerbakke) Justice League Action - Ronnie (P.J. Byrne) and Dr. Stein (Stephen Tobolowsky) | |

| Firestorm (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: The Fury of Firestorm has two of them. First off, the big bad is a terrorist producing his own, evil versions of Firestorm. After issue sixteen, this just stops, despite the idea of someone with that kind of power running around seems like a... big deal. On a lesser case, the first few issues has a villainous henchwoman who gets caught in the blast of Jason and Ronnie becoming Fury, which causes her to start freezing everything around her, apparently on her way to becoming the New 52 version of Killer Frost. Then she vanishes, never to be heard from again, superseded as Killer Frost by Caitlin Snow. | |

Defeat by Modesty: Ronnie defeats Plastique by vaporizing her clothes (in front of TV cameras!), both because it amuses him and because it's a convenient way to separate her from the bombs on her suit. He later does this to a woman who is suing him for damages out of spite... she goes on to marry his father. Awkward. | |

Breakout Villain | |
| Firestorm (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_7e22477f | comment |
Breakout Villain: Firestorm's Arch-Enemy Killer Frost has proven popular enough with fans and writers that she has been used in Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Young Justice (2010), as well as several video games and animated movies. The kicker? She appeared in most of these WITHOUT Firestorm. The only adaptations she appeared in that also included Firestorm were The Brave and the Bold and The Flash. Impressively enough, Justice League Action breaks this mold with Firestorm's affection for the frosty villainess being center focus of the fittingly named, episode Freezer Burn. | |

Logical Weakness | |
| Firestorm (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_83641c73 | comment |
Logical Weakness: His transmutation powers don't work on organic substances because he has to know the atomic structures of the molecules he is transmuting and the atomic structures of the molecules he intends to transmute them to. When its just Ronnie or Jason piloting Firestorm, they're even more limited because neither of them are scientists, and they have to study chemistry to make the most use of their powers. Presumably a superhuman intelligence could overcome this weakness. Jason at some point could transmutate organic matter. However, after an early mishap with a superpowered foe left in a One-Winged Angel form, he elected to refrain himself, limiting his powers to non-organic matter again. See Weaksauce Weakness: Firestorm is as powerful as the smartest brain in his fused makeup is schooled in chemistry and biology. When Doctor Megala controlled the Firestorm Matrix, he beat up Captain Atom and reshaped Mount Rushmore in his likeness in a whim: the Jason and Ronnie Firestorm had actually to concentrate, study several pictures of Mount Rushmore and envision for long minutes every detail of the monument to restore it. Furthermore, Firestorm is usually able to perform amazing feats when Stein (a true scientist) or Jason (a somewhat accomplished student) are at the helm, but when Ronnie was alone in the matrix he had to rely on external help, his transmutations were simple and haphazardly accomplished and he relied more on physical strength and the occasional energy blasts than the rest of his powers. | |

Weaksauce Weakness | |
| Firestorm (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_c09dbbbb | comment |
Weaksauce Weakness: Firestorm can't affect organic material without suffering painful feedback. Also, initially if Firestorm was formed while Stein was missing his glasses, Firestorm would be nearsighted. Despite the organic matter limit has been revisited during the years, the one consistent main limit of Firestorm is that Firestorm is as good at using his powers than the smartest fusee in his makeup. While Stein is an accomplished scientist, thus making Firestorm able to achieve complex feats with simple manipulation, Jason, a mere student, is somewhat slower and less competent, but still a force to reckon with. As for Ronnie Raymond? For a short period in which he was the only mind in the Firestorm makeup, he had to rely on The Atom's counseling to do anything remotely useful. | |

He once took out Hector Hammond after Hammond had managed to defeat the entire JLA. Cliff Carmichael is a villainous example, having great intelligence and working out over the summer to be able to fight Ronnie | |

Dr. Fakenstein: Martin Stein. Not exactly a Mad Scientist, but some people think of him as such. Must be the family name. | |

Legacy Character | |
| Firestorm (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_c9e5a0db | comment |
Legacy Character: Of sorts. There's usually some element of a previous incarnation included in the current makeup. Likewise, there have been no less than three incarnations of Firestorm's archenemy Killer Frost, the second of whom explicitly took up the identity as a tribute to the first. | |

Evil Knockoff: Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men has evil Firestorms, who differ from the heroic Firestorms in that they have sickly green glowing flame hair. Also, they're terrorists. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Firestorm (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Martin's reaction to Ronnie forcing them to become Firestorm on an issue Stein disagreed with. Ronnie's step-mother explicitly draws a parallel to rape. Ronnie is remorseful, but it takes time for the trust to be rebuilt between them. | |

| Firestorm (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: Felicity Smoak, who became Ronnie's stepmother in the second series, is another example, as she began appearing in Arrow's first season without any connection to Firestorm. Since then, she has become an integral part of Arrow and has been added to the New 52 Green Arrow as a character similar to her TV counterpart, but separate from Firestorm. | |

The Nudifier: Firestorm did this to Plastique during her first appearance. He vaporised her costume, leaving her naked and humiliated in public, while he took the bombs that had been attached to her costume away to explode in a safer area. | |
