Firestorm
Forgotten Justice League members:
The cinematic debut of The Justice League is in 21 days, and to countdown let's take a look at members of the Justice League most have forgotten or never knew about.
Firestorm first appeared in March of 1978; created by Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom the character was the result of an accident that melded high schooler Ronnie Raymond and physicist Martin Stein. Ronnie was in control of Firestorm but Stein was a disembodied voice in Raymond's head that assisted by helping Ronnie to control their combined powers which include Superhuman strength, endurance, speed, durability, senses, and self-sustenance, Nucleokinesis, Nuclear pyrokinesis, Flight, Molecular transmutation, Intangibility, and Matter manipulation.
Over the years, Firestorm as a character has had its ups and downs. Originally added to the Justice League in issue 179, the character has seen Martin Stein killed off only to return, Ronnie Raymond was also killed and returned and at one point Stein was replaced with Jason Rusch.
On television, a version of Firestorm appeared with Ronnie being played by Robbie Amell & Dr. Martin Stein played by Victor Garber on the series The Flash from the CW network. This character also appeared in the CW's Arrow series before undergoing a transformation. Ronnie's character was killed off and a new character brought in to share the Firestorm persona with Stein. Jefferson "Jax" Jackson, played by Franz Drameh, was also affected by the accident that caused Ronnie & Martin to become Firestorm and was brought in to join and become the new Firestorm. This version of the character joined the CW series DC's Legends of Tomorrow and has been a cast member since the beginning. In the current comics, the Ronnie Raymond-Jason Rusch version is being featured.
