Biography
Origin
Whilst investigating the disappearance of Martin Stein, Firestorm received a tip about a sighting of the professor though Gehenna believed it to be a trap. She was proven right when they stumbled on Killer Frost who battled the superhero though she was ultimately defeated when Firestorm turned the ground around her into anti-freeze. However, he was then ambushed by the Injustice League Unlimited where Lex Luthor, Joker and Cheetah attacked him. In the fight, Joker sprayed specially treated venom on Firestorm causing him to laugh uncontrollably whereupon he was set upon by Cheetah who brutally slashed him leaving him badly injured. He was left behind as the villains departed with Firestorm taken to St. Vincent Hospital where the staff respected his secret identity by not unmasking him and helping in his recovery from the paralysis of the venom. Batman and Red Arrow arrived where they learnt of the attack as well as concluded the supervillains were working together in eliminating superheroes. (Justice League of America Wedding Special v2 #1) He recovered and decided to help the Justice League who had been captured by the supervillains at their headquarters with Firestorm arriving in time to transmute Lex Luthor's Kryptonite knife into a harmless spoon whilst creating a lockpick for the captive Batman. This allowed the pair to free their comrades where they helped defeat the Injustice League. Afterwards, Batman offered Firestorm membership into the Justice League of America as he felt that the hero needed supervision due to his great power. (Justice League of America v2 #15)
