Overview
It was said to hold ties to the 'god particle' which proved the existence of the Higgs Boson. (Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men v1 #1) According to one account, the Matrix was actually the ‘spark’ that preceded the universe and was the fire that resulted in the Big Bang. (Brightest Day v1 #10) It alongside the other elemental forces of Earth were said to be aspects of the Life Equation which was an antithesis to the Anti-Life Equation. (Firestorm v3 #34)
The Matrix was said to be contained to inhibit the decay of Gauge Bosons allowing the change of Quarks from one state to another thus allowing for abilities such as transmutation. This was achieved using a magnetic bottle containment vessel that could be bonded to a suitable genetic set as per the Firestorm Protocols. (Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men v1 #1)
One account claimed that the Firestorm Matrix was actually one of the Elementals that were spirits raised by the Earth itself to protect it in times of need where these beings fused with mortals to be their avatars. In this regard, it was believed that Firestorm was the Elemental of fire where its actions were determined by its human host. It was said that the the entity within Firestorm had walked the Earth in many guises where it was known as Prometheus to the ancient Greeks whilst the Norse knew it as Surtur. It was said that many religions knew of the entity both as a lifegiver and as a destroyer where it could be a servant when controlled who determined if this power was used as a force of destruction or not. (Firestorm v2 #85)
Two Firestorm Matrix bearers were shown to be capable of fusing into a more powerful entity known as the Fury. (Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men v1 #1)
- The canonicity of certain events are unknown due to the reality reboots caused by certain events.
Notes
- The concept of Firestorm was created by Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom where it made its first first appearing in Firestorm v1 #1 (March, 1978).
Alternate Versions
- In Justice League of America v2 #26 (2008), an alternate timeline was created by the god Anansi where Batman never existed as the young Bruce Wayne shot Joe Chill with a gun after which he became a vigilante called Paladin. On this world, the Firestorm Matrix was inhabited by multiple people who formed the superhero called We Are Firestorm who was a red formed being that had an atomic symbol of energy around his body. He was shown as a member of the Justice League who was convinced to aid Vixen in restoring the true reality.
- In Justice League v2 #26 (2014), an alternate version of Firestorm was shown as an inhabitant of Earth-3 in the Multiverse. On that world, Professor Martin Stein was a mad scientist obsessed with unlocking the secrets of life through death. Thus, he performed many controversial experiments on humans in order to test his theories as he was an expert in theoretical biology. He was recruited by one of the Crime Syndicate of America’s enemies with finding weaknesses among its members but Stein instead used it as a place for his own experiments leading to him merging himself with a corpse thus transforming him into Deathstorm who wielded the Firestorm Matrix. As Deathstorm, he was invited to join the ranks of the Crime Syndicate and became one of its members.
- In The New 52: Future's End (2014), an alternate timeline set five years in the future was shown. On this Earth, Ronnie Raymond and Jason Rusch both remained as Firestorm, however, Ronnie dies in order to save the life of a civilian named Madison Payne. This causes her to merge into the Firestorm Matrix with Jason Rusch causing her to become Firestorm.
- In Electric Warriors v1 #5 (2019), an alternate version of Firestorm was shown to exist in a possible future set in the 28th century. This version was Lex Luthor who had forcibly taken control of the Firestorm Matrix and bonded with Superman. In this position, he became a tyrannical being who enforced a brutal rule in the cosmos. He was eventually given the position of the Lord Preceptor that was in charge of the Great Compromise arranged between the Gilded business beings in the cosmos and the Gil'Dishpan. Under this role, he arranged for gladiatorial games as a means of settling disputes between worlds with Electric Warriors gifted superpowers through the Electric Seed where they battled for vital resources in a match between them. Slain Metahumans were then secretly sold to the Gilded for whatever needs they desired including consumption whilst the Lord Preceptor secretly enforced the rules of the Compromise.
