Day 10: Firestorm

Day 10: Firestorm Well, this one was inevitable, wasn't it? Firestorm the Nuclear Man, one of my favorite characters.

Firestorm was DC's version of Spider-Man, if Spider-Man could have a bad day. He's never been as fun as the Fury of Firestorm run in the Eighties. What, you want to know why? Let me tell you: The core of the book was the mentor/mentee relationship between Professor Martin Stein and Ronnie Raymond. And just as important, Ronnie, the least qualified guy in the pair, is the guy driving the boat. It's that dynamic that makes the character so interesting to me.

He's gone through different iterations, and had a strong finish in his recent New-52 version, but honestly, the classic version will always be the one for me.
