The first Firestorm series was short-lived, canceled abruptly in a company-wide cutback ( the " DC Implosion ") with # 5 ( the first part of a multiple-issue story ) the last to be distributed, and # 6 included in Cancelled Comic Cavalcade.

In Firestorm, The Nuclear Man # 1 ( March 1978 ) Ronnie Raymond is named for the very first time when Martin Stein calls him " Ronald ", later Raymond introduces himself to Doreen Day and Clifford Carmichael as Ronnie, afterwards while Martin Stein refers to him only as Ronald everyone else calls him Ronnie.

2 ) until John Ostrander takes over with Fury of Firestorm # 58.

In Who's Who in the DC Universe # 10, Martin Stein is listed as Firestorm, and the entry refers to Ronald as " Ron Raymond ".

He thereafter spent many years traveling through space as a wanderer, returning to earth on only two occasions: the War of the Gods crossover event, and again in the JLA spin-off, Extreme Justice # 5, where Stein cured Raymond of his leukemia and allowed Raymond to retain the original Firestorm persona on his own.

Ronnie Raymond eventually returned within the Firestorm matrix in Firestorm # 9, remaining with Jason as part of Firestorm until he appeared to dissipate in Firestorm # 13.

Freed when the new Secret Six launched a raid on the complex, Jason discovered two important things: he had a fellow prisoner ( a mysterious girl named Gehenna ), and his imprisonment by the Society had significantly depowered him ( Firestorm # 17 ).

As the storyline jumped ahead a year ( and the series itself was now retitled as Firestorm: The Nuclear Man issue # 23 on ), Professor Stein has mysteriously vanished, and Jason has been merging with Firehawk to become Firestorm, allowing him to use her powers as well.

Leaving Nightwing behind on Earth, Donna brings several heroes to New Cronus, including Animal Man ; Cyborg ; Firestorm ; Herald ; Bumblebee ; Red Tornado ; Shift ; Green Lanterns Alan Scott, Kyle Rayner, and Kilowog ; Jade ; Starfire ; Supergirl and Captain Marvel Junior ( in Outsiders 30 ).

This incarnation featured Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, the Wonder Twins and Gleek, this time teamed up with Firestorm ( Ronald Raymond ).

After the transition to the elemental Firestorm, all of the main characters from the series vanished from the comics for some time after the cancellation of the Firestorm comic in 1990.

In 2004, DC revived the Firestorm comic for the second time, with writer Dan Jolley and artist Chris Cross, but instead of the original Firestorm, Ronnie Raymond, there was a new protagonist ; Jason Rusch, a teenager.

A short time later, Firestorm is seen helping search for survivors alongside Animal Man and Starfire after Star City is destroyed by Prometheus.

This time, they again hear the mysterious voice taunting them, and Ronnie accepts he remembers killing Gehenna, and they realize something else is lurking from within the Firestorm Matrix.

On Earth, Kyle recruits Power Girl, The Atom, Firestorm, Adam Strange, and the Circle of Fire — a group of Green Lanterns from alternate realities and different time periods.

During this time, Martin Stein, one half of the Firestorm matrix ( Ronnie Raymond being the other half ) learned he was dying and decided to destroy all the nuclear weapons in the world.

Batman also followed Disaster's career, and the Dark Knight chose him to serve on a substitute Justice League of America while the regular members went back in time to Atlantis, the other members of the team being Nightwing, Green Arrow, Atom, Hawkgirl, Faith, Firestorm and Jason Blood.

In the 3rd Place Playoff against Firestorm 3, Firestorm's flipper wasn't working ( Due to previous damage from Razer ), so Firestorm went for a pushing match, pushing Hypno-Disc into Sir Killalot's CPZ a large number of times, then both fell down the pit at the same time.

** Firestorm Pro Heavyweight Championship ( 1 time )

The judges give the win to Firestorm, who headed back into the main competition and claimed 3rd place for the second time.

Just before time ran, Tornado pushed Firestorm down the pit, qualifying for the grand final.

The JLA consisted of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern ( John Stewart ), the Flash ( Barry Allen ), the Atom ( Ray Palmer ), Doctor Light ( Kimiyo Hoshi ), Hawkman, and Firestorm ( Jason Rusch ).

Before they vanish, Batman instigates a contingency plan, in which a handful of heroes would be assembled to create a new JLA, consisting of Nightwing, Green Arrow, the Atom, Hawkgirl, Major Disaster, Faith, Firestorm and Jason Blood.

During this adventure, he formed a mentoring friendship with the new Firestorm, Jason Rusch.

Jason Rusch, the third Firestorm, debuted in Firestorm vol.

Another Firestorm series began in 2004 with a new character, Jason Rusch, in the role.

The magical sword ruptured the nuclear man's containment field, resulting in Firestorm's body exploding and his residual essence funneling into the body of Jason Rusch, the new host of the Firestorm Matrix.

In the 2006 miniseries Infinite Crisis it was revealed that Martin Stein, alive in space as the " Elemental Firestorm ", had sensed the presence of Jason within the Firestorm Matrix, but was unaware of the final demise of Ronnie Raymond.

When Jason, as Firestorm, was gravely wounded in the line of duty, Stein linked with him in a variation of the merge, promising Jason a new Firestorm body to let him return into battle ( although Martin had been unable to save Mick ) and asking him about the fate of Ronnie.

Accepting Martin's proposal, Jason asked Stein to become the permanent second member of the Firestorm matrix.

Unmerged after several weeks, Jason, as Firestorm, tried to reform and lead a new Justice League, along with Firehawk, Ambush Bug, Super-Chief, and the Bulleteer.

Finally, during the World War III event versus Black Adam, Jason settled all differences with Lorraine, rekindling their friendship and asking for her powers, necessary to activate Firestorm after the mysterious disappearance of Martin Stein.

He, Firestorm, and John Stewart engage Genocide, but are no match for her.

After taking the team to the Hall of Justice to find Firestorm, she is forced to fight the undead form of her father, continually pitting the black magic he wields against her own ; it is implied she was successful in banishing the Black Lantern, but was left psychologically crushed from having to kill her father again ( in a fashion ).

Of the numerous heroes in the DC Universe to serve on the Justice League, Batman chose her along with Green Arrow, Firestorm, Hawkgirl, Jason Blood, Major Disaster, and the Atom to replace the original members in a short tenure with Nightwing as the new leader.

In the Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series, the Monitor recruits Hayden-who goes on to help Firestorm recruit Killer Frost to the Monitor's team by making her fall in love with her enemy-but he is abducted by the Anti-Monitor.
