"The heat is ON!!!!"

Here he is, the world's first nuclear powered superhero: Firestorm!!!

Ronnie Raymond was a transfer high school student, and by far one of the most popular in his class. At the same time, Nobel Prize winner Professor Martin Stein was creating a fully automated, fail safe nuclear power plant. Ronnie, in an attempt to impress a girl, joined a group of protesters who planned to shut down the plant before it could open. However things took a turn for the worse, when terrorists invaded the plant looking to steal Plutonium with which they could create a super weapon and hold the world hostage. Most of the protesters were killed, but Ronnie was taken as a hostage. He was though able to put up a fair fight and protect Professor Stein, until one of the terrorists tossed a grenade into the lab. Ronnie attempted to shield Professor Stein from the blast. The combination of the explosion from the grenade and the nuclear energy melded the two together into Firestorm!!

Now Ronnie had a tremendously increased IQ as well as the incredible power to rearrange inorganic matter at the atomic, or subatomic level, as well as pyrokinesis. At first, he tried to join the Justice League, attempting to prove himself in a mission, but Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman all agreed he was too reckless to be a part of the JLA. Captain Marvel, though, understanding how it was being a kid and a superhero, cheered him up, and took him to California, where he was made an honorary member of the Teen Titans!

For Firestorm's look, I was heavily inspired by his comic appearance in the JLU comic series. I think it took a while for me to draw him, because for me, I never took much interest in the character until recently. He's the love interest of Firehawk, a similar powered superheroine, as well as the friend of Caitlyn Snow, the third and sole heroic Killer Frost.
