The Fury of Firestorm #2: The Origin Of Firestorm

[superfangirl1]

Ronnie admits he apply for the internship. So to impressed Doreen day. Who is one of the top student's in his Physics class.






One night. Ronnie gets a call from Martin Stein to meet him at a facility.







It was hinted during the Events of Doomsday Clock. That Martin Stein possibly set up this situation to happen. I hope it is not true and Martin Stein didn't fake his fatherly relationship with Robbie.

Man, old school Killer Frost there...

I see they've updated his origin. Originally, he wasn't at Pitt. He was another New York based hero.

But it was nice to see in the first panel, they referenced the Student Union in the background...sorta.

(Comment from Pitt alumni and former employee of said institution.)

Also aged up from high school student to college student in the process.

I still hate the "Professor Stein was behind it all along" retcon. Because it completely upends the dynamic between the two for so many years of their partnership.

Also, it's too much like the "Nile Caulder was behind the Doom Patrol's accidents all along."

"I totally meant to do that." - Martin Stein, probably.


Good thing that bundle of dynamite was there. Looked like he was a moment away from "FOOLS! I'll show them! SHOW THEM ALL! AHAHAHA!!!!"

Guessing from the focus on intelligence that Lemire has a take on Firestorm supporting character Cliff " Wouldn't it be a twist* if the smart nerd wasn't the victim, but the unpleasant bully? " Carmichael somewhere in these flashbacks.

(This is now less of a twist and more " You know of at least ten people like this, and at least one of them is making everyone's life worse. ")

Isn't there another kid who's a part of Firestorm?
