The Origin of Firestorm @ The Daily Planet
I was born in Detroit but moved to NYC to go to college. A few years ago I was zapped by some nuclear energy and my life has never been the same.
I can transform myself into the superhero Firestorm by merging with my mentor Professor Martin Stein. As Firestorm, I can fly and shoot bolts of energy (fusion blasts) from my hands.
But my coolest power is to change matter from one substance to another. This takes both knowledge and concentration. Luckily my partner Professor Martin Stein is a Noble prize winning physicist. If I concentrate on an object, I can visualize and change its molecular structure. Too cool.
Overall I'm just your typical young black man with almost infinite power at my fingertips.
I care about people but sometimes its hard to get close, especially since I've lost some important people in my life. I'm not afraid of hard work. I can set goals and do what needs to be done to achieve them. I was never the most popular kid in school but I don't wallow in self-pity, either. I got a good sense of humor and can laugh at myself when I mess up.
