I still hate the Superman Project retcon that turned Stein into a bad guy and Firestorm into a whole conspiracy theory.

I miss Jason Rusch and what he brought to the character.

And I remain dubious about Lemire's take on, apparently, "what if the Firestorm Matrix was independent" because it feels so much like King's recent take on Captain Atom in the Jenny Sparks mini-- atomic-powered hero with godlike abilities loses all restraint, like we haven't seen that before.

I'm not saying we need to go back to Firestorm as a Spider-Man-esque teen hero, but I'd like a fresh take on the character. Maybe something intelligent, thoughtful, capable of really playing with the idea of elemental transmutation and weird science.

I'll accept Ryan North for the absurd extrapolation of powers, or Al Ewing based on his retro take on Metamorpho.... or Gail Simone because why not.

From the looks of it, Jason's probably best off keeping out of this one for the moment.
Just saying. Jason never seems to do well around Ronnie.


Although, where has Jason gotten to lately?
(The only thing could find on the wiki says he and Ronnie were separated a way back, and as far as I can tell he's only been mentioned in lists or shown up in cameos.)

"I still hate the Superman Project retcon that turned Stein into a bad guy and Firestorm into a whole conspiracy theory."

I can't help but wonder how the proposal process on that went.

"Hey, X-Files Boss guy, I got a cool idea. Lets blow up a multi-million dollar nuclear power plant and hope that a random teenager's metagene is enough to contain to the fallout."

The Superman Project is such a god awful retcon. I REALLY was hoping it was entirely do to Doctor Manhattan darkifying the DCU and that the New History of the DCU would retcon it out, but sadly for some godforsaken reason, they kept it in.

It does nothing but make multiple characters actively worse.

...now this is a silly idea. The Firestorm Matrix just develops a mind of its own...or always had one, takes on the appearance of the Raymond/Stein version and just offs Ronnie? Cripes.

Wasn't she an elected official back in the days of 52/Countdown?? Is that still canon? Or am I misremembering?
