The Fury of Firestorm

    (DC, 1982-1987)
™ and ©1983 DC Comics, Inc.

The moral of Firestorm seems to be to “watch out who you get into nuclear accidents with!” Physicist Martin Stein and high school basketball star Ronnie Raymond were caught in one, and they merged into one being, becoming Firestorm, the nuclear man.

Strange as the premise sounds, the split personality hero works quite well as a character. Out of costume, the two alter-egos manage to bridge a generation gap and become friends. Super-villains have a tough time defeating a hero who is a team in and of itself, and they often go to great (and imaginative!) lengths in the attempt.
