Creation & Design

Firestorm was created by writer Gerry Conway and artist Al Milgrom, debuting in the late 1970s as a response to the growing interest in nuclear themes during the Cold War.

Early Years

Initially, Firestorm was portrayed as a high school student, Ronnie Raymond, who merges with physicist Martin Stein to become the superhero Firestorm, allowing them to share powers and responsibilities.

Character Development

Over the years, Firestorm has evolved from a teenage hero struggling with his powers to a complex character dealing with the moral implications of nuclear energy and the responsibilities of being a hero.
