Firestorm

Firestorm is a hero from DC Comics

History
Martin Stein is scientist who accomplished various achievements in the scientific field and wrote numerous papers on different sorts of theories, a lot of them for the Oxford University Press; one of them being the topic on time travel, published around 1990, was well known in certain circles. Stein's magnum opus would be means of transmutation: Project F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. (Fusion, Ignition, Research Experiment and Science of Transmutation Originating RNA and Molecular Structures). However, while he needed funding, Stein's research attracted unwanted attention as he was forced to go to Central City with the product of his work: the "God Particle" or Firestorm Matrix.

Once a star football player in his high school, Ronald "Ronnie" Raymond is structural engineer for the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator in Central City. When the accelerator malfunction, Raymond sacrificed himself to contain the dark matter explosion to save his girlfriend Caitlyn Snow and everyone. When the core exploded, he was presumed dead with his body vaporized. At the same time, Stein was near S.T.A.R. Labs as he meets a 17 year old genius named Jason Rusch just before the accelerator is activated. At that time, Stein dropped the Firestorm Matrix and Jason picked it up as the energy wave containing the atomized particles of Ronnie hit him. This caused Ronnie and Jason to be quantum spliced together into a single being while Stein was reduced to a shadow mark. But in reality, Stein's atomized essence was merged into the Firestorm Matrix and became a voice of reason in an attempt to help Jason and Ronnie.

Death Battle Info
As Firestorm, to the matrix's ideal selection and under Stein's guidance, Ronnie provides the brawn while Jason provides his intellect and mind in conjunction with their ability to transmutate matter. Due to the nuclear nature of Firestorm's transmutation, he can produce nuclear fire in the form of firey plasma from parts of his body. This allows him to deliver concussive blasts of fire from his hands and propel himself in the air and fly at great speeds. Firestorm can be weakened by the Firestorm Matrix being bombarded by ionized radiation, or with sheer wind while on fire.

Gear

 * Quantum Splicer: Reversed engineered from STAR Lab's tachyon prototype, it allows Ronnie to merge and separate from Jason at will.

Feats

 * Firestorm radiates 2000 Mega Watts.

Flaws

 * Prolonged separation between Firestorm's could be fatal.
