In other media

Television

• In Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Ronnie Raymond made an appearance in the animated series starting in the episode "A Bat Divided!" where he was voiced by actor Bill Fagerbakke. Unlike the comics, he was shown as an adult who worked at a coach at the school with one of his students being Jason Rusch. He later went for a school trip to a nuclear power plant that came under attack from Doctor Double X who sought to empower himself further. The nuclear meltdown caused Ronnie Raymond to fuse with Jason Rusch becoming a superpowered being. Firestorm. In this version, Jason operated as the body with Ronnie operating at the mind within the Matrix. The pair were aided by Batman and gained a costume to become the superhero named Firestorm. It was shown that he had previously been involved with Dr. Louise Lincoln but broke up with her and she later attacked him when she became the supervillain Killer Frost.
• In The Flash series, Ronnie Raymond features in the 2014 live-action television series episode "Things You Can't Outrun" where he was portrayed by Robbie Amell. He was shown as being a structural engineer who worked at S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator and met Caitlin Snow with him becoming her fiancée. Ronnie was present on the day when the particle accelerator was activated but an incident forced him to go to the core chamber to help contain the damage. Once inside, he had Cisco Ramon close the blast doors as part of a lockdown to contain any explosion. He was able to contain the blast from destroying the facility but this came at the apparent cost of his life.
• In Justice League Action, Ronnie Raymond appeared in the animated television series where he was first shown in the episode "Nuclear Family Values" and was voiced by actor P. J. Byrne. A flashback was shown that he was a teenager who was kidnapped by armed men that took him to a nuclear plant that was managed by Professor Stein. An accident happened leading to Stein and Raymond merging to become the nuclear powered superhero named Firestorm. In their merged form, Stein appeared as a voice in Firestorm's head to advise Ronnie on their actions. This gave the impression to others that Firestorm spoke to himself and made people think he was strange.
