I don't know how Firestorm is being presented in today's "woke" DC, so I'm just focusing on the early 1980s version.

John (our intrepid forum administrator,) recently posted a video review of issue #1 of "The Fury of Firestorm the Nukular (sic) Man."

I've always enjoyed this character (in the 80s) because of his "but doc, I'm just a jock!" attitude throughout the series.

So when John decided to post of review of issue #1, I accidentally was inspired to "V&V" this character!

So, here we go:

1) Transformation (Power Activation)
    a) Animated Servant: A
    b) Flight
    c) Non-Corporealness
    d) Transmutation (atomic level)

Weakness: Low self-control.  Dr. Stein cannot control the transformation nor remember his experience as Firestorm.

Yeah, it doesn't tell you anything more than the basics.  But this was enough to get the OFFICIAL "John's Longbox" approval!  Read the comments, peasant!  Lol!

For those of you who are UNfortunate to be unfamiliar with our FAVORITE forum administrator's YouTube channel, please feel free to peruse his review of this comic and be amazed!

No, I'm serious!  John Bua is my absolute favorite forum administrator of all time!

Here's the link to his review of this comic:

And here is his channel's videos if you're a just a little bit technically challenged:

Please note that you search his videos to see if he already has content that you're interested in!  Do you see the "About" tab near the top of the page?  Just to the right of it is a magnifying glass icon.  Click that to search his video library!

Before you go through the trouble, here is his "Villains & Vigilantes" review:

Thank you.  And check out  the Youtube channel "The Fourth Age".  RJ from that channel interviewed me!

Unfortunatly only one third of the interview survived his horrible internet connection.  But he did ask me to come on his channel again soon.

John, I went to check out his channel but don't see a video with you in it. Is there a direct link you can provide?
