The story, written by Dan Jurgens, delves deeper into the political and personal tensions surrounding the nuclear-powered duo.
In "Takeover, Part One," Firestorm faces a shocking turn when Major Force—once a foe, now an unexpected ally—helps him defeat his rogues, only to betray him and seize control. Taken to General Eiling’s headquarters, Firestorm’s fate hangs in the balance until Superman intervenes, revealing a stunning truth: Professor Stein is still alive. With the Justice League on the horizon, Firestorm’s journey takes a dramatic new turn. Written and illustrated by Dan Jurgens, with inks by Norm Rapmund, colors by Hi-Fi, and letters by Travis Lanham, the cover by Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund captures the tension of this pivotal moment.
In "Takeover, Part Two," Firestorm fights to escape the clutches of Black Star, Relay, and Skull Crusher as tensions escalate. With Jason and Ronnie still at school, the arrival of Dataxen triggers a desperate move by Dr. Megala, who seizes the chance to transfer into Firestorm’s body—setting the stage for a volatile confrontation.
In "Takeover, Part Three," Dr. Megala, wielding Firestorm’s power, clashes with Captain Atom in a high-stakes battle that pushes both heroes to their limits. As Jason and Ronnie fight to reclaim their merged form, Captain Atom is caught in a surge of energy that fractures him across time—leaving the future of Firestorm and the fate of the timeline hanging in the balance.
Firestorm returns to school just in time for the big game, but the threat isn’t over—Dataxen, unleashed by the Continuum, strikes with a vengeance. With Ronnie Raymond and Jason Rusch facing off against a wave of villains including Skull Crusher, Black Star, and Relay, the line between hero and target blurs as the final showdown at the Continuum’s headquarters looms.
In "Titan," Firestorm [Jason Rusch; Ronnie Raymond] races to undo the damage caused by Dr. Megala while grappling with the fallout of his own choices—especially after Ronnie’s mom, Joanne Raymond, is taken. With the Teen Titans, including Kid Flash [Bart Allen] and Red Robin [Tim Drake], watching his every move, Ronnie must confront the consequences of his past actions, including Tonya Lu’s help with his history paper, all while searching for his missing mother.
In "Problems Multiplied," Firestorm—Jason Rusch and Ronnie Raymond—races to stop Skull Crusher and Relay during a Q-Core heist, suspecting their involvement in Joanne Raymond’s disappearance. When Firestorm tracks Joanne to a hidden location, he confronts her captor: Dalton Black, the newly introduced Multiplex, in a clash that tests his powers and resolve. As the battle unfolds, unseen observers watch from the shadows, hinting at a larger game in motion.
In "Problems Multiplied, Part Three," Firestorm—Jason Rusch and Ronnie Raymond—faces a wave of villains including Multiplex, Hyena, and Major Force, as the chaos escalates under General Eiling’s control. When Major Force turns on the team and captures Firestorm, Superman intervenes, revealing a shocking truth: Professor Stein is still alive. With the stakes higher than ever, Firestorm departs with Superman, heading toward a fateful meeting with the Justice League.
