Firestorm

Jason Rusch is a teenager from Detroit who becomes the nuclear-powered Firestorm after the original hero, Ronnie Raymond, is killed. By merging with other people to form the Firestorm matrix, Jason controls matter at a molecular level.

Blazing onto the Modern Age DC scene in DC Countdown #1 (2005), Firestorm is a nuclear-powered icon whose fiery presence has lit up titles from their own solo series to the sprawling ensemble epic Brightest Day and even the pages of Detective Comics. Over two decades, this character has kept remarkable company — sharing adventures with the likes of Green Lantern, Batman, and the figures of Ronnie Raymond and Jason Rusch — placing Firestorm squarely at the heart of the DC Universe's most compelling stories. With 21 catalog appearances spanning 2005 to 2025, this is a character whose enduring flame is well worth following.
