#Firestorm DC

[yrkshrtea]

Hi Tumblr I draw DC *less popular* characters and I rarely color my art like these but I’m migrating these here just in case!

JLA (1997) #75 - JLA: The Obsidian Age

tell me about your current Favourite Guy. Tell me anything you want about them you have full permission to Go Nuts. also whats your credit card information

Shout out to Ronald Roy Raymond Rockwell, gotta be one of the characters ever

So, a while back, I decided to watch through various DC animated shows, and really thought that Firestorm was neat, so I decided to delve into his comics (this was also around the start of me finally getting into actually reading comics and not just reading the lore of them because I was so intimidated to jump in and not understand what was going on)

Cut to now where he's my profile picture on every site I can plaster a pic of him onto. He's endearing, what can I say? He has a bit of that Spider-Man charm to him (makes sense I guess, he was co-created by two men who worked on it for a while, particularly Gerry Conway, who wrote for Amazing Spider-Man during the 70's, including the death of Gwen Stacey. Idk I just thought that was interesting) But,

Who the hell is this guy

Ronnie is one half of the hero Firestorm. Then he's the whole shebang. Then he's one half again. Comics are weird man. But the basic deal is that he was caught in a giant nuclear explosion alongside nuclear physicist Martin Stein, and they fuse together into Firestorm, The Nuclear Man. That accident also rendered them the ability to transmute any elements into any other elements. I am fully serious when I say if Firestorm weren't so commited to the bit, he'd be one of the most powerful characters in all of DC. But then a lot of stuff happens, he joins the JLA, he gets caught up in that crisis on those infinite earths, he gets sued, he dies (he got better dw), but I'll just finish off with a few cliff notes

He got essentially drunk off of atomic radiation he absorbed once

He made that goofy ass outfit himself as soon as he figured out his powers

He got sued, yeah. For accidentally destroying property while stopping a villain, but honestly he probably should have gotten sued for a lot of other stuff way before that

Like that fact he turns so much stuff into asbestos to stop fire

Ronnie it's the 1980's people know that's a carcinogen at that point

Stop making things into asbestos

Shit got weird for a bit after he got a nuke dropped on him

Like how the story transitioned from weird science stuff as a base to pure fantasy and Firestorm became a fire elemental which completely nixed the whole nuclear part of the character

Literally two of his villains are more popular than him right now (Killer Frost and the Weasel)

He's got ･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: DADDY ISSUES :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ

He died so bad he came back as a black lantern when that event happened, and when he was fully revived he immediately went back to college and partied it up

But despite all of that, the reason I find myself liking Ronnie is that it's his immediate gut instinct after he gets powers to help people. Even when he's sulking and being angsty, he gets over it as soon as someone needs his help

also i dont have a credit card, would debit work

Both halves of Firestorm are halfas. When fused, they count as a full ghost.

I just think he/they’re neat

!I Funking love “fury of firestorm” comics

It’s basically Ronnie and Martin stein, being father and son for like most the time. Legitimately this happens in the comic “my dad hit me.” “Ronnie im so sorry I blow up before i’ve been overworked and stressed and I took it out on you, i’m sorry. I hope you can forgive me.” “Why wouldn’t I professor?”

Also “father son relationship ended with my dad, professor stein is my new dad now.” And ““your my dad boogie-woogie!” 

The fury of firestorm comics are really good, also cannon that ronnie’s dad sucks. Fr he’s the worst, i’m happy professor is Ronnie’s dad now. 

Also I headcannon that Ronnie changed careers to learning physics, and nuclear physics. Because like that man Funking loves physics but doesn’t know it yet, my blorbo’s. <B

sorry for the lack of art, got caught up in warrior cats

[sully-s]

In my current comic takes place at the Justice League so I drew this Firestorm to be part of a group of league members but he's not the main focus being a very bright red and yellow was making him the focus point so I took him out. But I really like how his flames came out so I thought I'd share him :)

Identity Crisis is heart-breaking and intense; interesting to read

decided to read few issues of Identity Crisis (and comic issues that fall in that arc).

Oh my god.

this. this is bad. not "bad writing" bad. just sad, sometimes a little scary and kinda shocking. Shit, even Boomerang's death was sad, H-O-W.

I mean

they even messed with Batman's memory RIGHT after deciding to do that with Dr. Light

That night, they voted twice.

"It was a League within a League — just seven of us."

Despite Oliver defending their decision in front of Wally's accusations, he was clearly against it (it's in the issue #6, you can read it). Green Lantern (Hal, I guess) told they should let Batman go, too. Black Canary----- I don't know, she was still crying and not really saying anything. Flash, I don't know, either, but considering what he wrote to Wally I'd guess he wasn't happy with the decision. oh my god THE THING THAT BATMAN MIGHT DOUBT IN HIS OWN MEMORY (AND OLLIE EVEN SAYS THAT BATMAN MIGHT SUSPECT HIS ALLIES&FRIENDS...)!!!!

oh

I just

wow

(UPD I FOUND OUT IT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME HIS ALLY MESSES WITH HIS MEMORY OH MY GOD, SEE MY POST ABOUT ACTION COMICS #784)

And Firestorm's death too (consequences in Firestorm vol. 3 #6)

oh.

ohhhhh. just everything.

Jay Garrick needs a day off too.....

and this page, too.

AND TTHE MISTAKE BARRY ALLEN DID... THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT........ SCARY.

why the hell did they have to do all of this, I don't have napkins.

It's all a lot better than Heroes in Crisis, in my opinion :<

I did few other posts about Identity Crisis.
