Senator Walter Reilly

Senator Walter Reilly is a U.S. politician and supporting character in DC's Firestorm series, best known as the father of Lorraine Reilly, who becomes entangled in the superhuman conflicts surrounding Firestorm.

Senator Walter Reilly stepped onto the Bronze Age DC stage in The Fury of Firestorm #2 (1982), the creation of writer Gerry Conway and artist Pat Broderick. A political figure woven into the fabric of one of DC's most energetic early-'80s series, he moves through a world that includes Firestorm himself, the villainous Multiplex, and Lorraine Reilly — keeping genuinely compelling company across his appearances. With seven catalog entries and a key issue to his name, Senator Reilly is a supporting player who rewards the dedicated Fury of Firestorm collector hunting down every corner of that vibrant Bronze Age run.
