[@aidanrandall7438]

Firestorm's story is really complicated

[@oliverfrankelis3922]

I´m Agree with you.

[@Kilamanjaro009]

I hate it when characters like Firestorm look weak in movies and on tv.

[@bleakfuture2]

Impending Doom well they kinda have to because he's so powerful that he would just stop the bad guy in seconds....kinda how they nerf the flash in literally every episode because he should be able to stop nearly everyone

[@scottdain6647]

Impending Doom Oh you mean like Firestorm, Citezen Steel, Mr Terrific, Anarky, Flash, Kid Flash, Red Tornado and Martian FREAKIN Manhunter??

[@jibrael5705]

@@nijikathefish Barry Allen is nearly as Fast as Wally's and I'm pretty sure he can do most of what Wally can do... Including sharing speed.

[@crystallizationofthesoul7095]

I hate it when I have the idea of FireStorm name and then I find someone else did it! At least none has some of my own original names!

[@deadaccount8054]

"look"? That's a... Weird choice of words.

[@deano2112rox]

That came out in a..... Flash....

[@valware8933]

Ba dun tss

[@jackchase5727]

deano2112rox now that's funny

[@genevievejoyal38]

Just...I can't do this...

[@bobbyj3049]

Infamous Ghost I was guna do that

[@patyfranco3551]

Hahah😂😂🤣🤣

[@DexBuff]

I don't like the idea of 2 separate Firestorms, I'd rather have the one merged Firestorm.

[@friday_rn]

DC is all about legacies of these characters

[@ianhenry6874]

Despite his complicated history, he's still one of my fav characters of all time.

[@CaptainMarvel4Ever]

*AWESOME!!!* Sniffle... finally, Firestorm is getting some recognition :')

[@justsomenobody1454]

Fistcloud 101 HOW DARE YOU???!!! The only thing they have in common is fire! Fire is the human torch's ONLY power except flying which he uses fire to fly so yeah only fire! Firestorm is way more cooler then Dear Johny boy ever will be!!

[@jdsucks429]

@Bill The Bull Gates ok

[@gabrielp9646]

​@@sfozo2485 The main thing about firestorm is that he is two different people, merged into one... Much like being a raging monster is hulk´s thing, being depressed and stoic because he is the last martian is martian manhunter´s thing, or being blind is daredevil´s thing.. I you know what I mean.

[@nonjabulobiyela885]

CaptainMarvel4Ever Your name is CaptainMarvel4Ever

[@mellotron12]

The Firestorm series from the 1980s is excellent. I recommend reading the whole thing!

[@d.l.martin]

I loved FIRESTORM as a kid! He and the FLASH was the only two worth reading back in the 80's.

[@PhotonKingShark77]

Fire storm is so cool.

[@CaptainMarvel4Ever]

Sora Shiun'in I've waited so long to hear someone say that (or in this case see someone type that)

[@matttheduelist]

***** true firestorm is the boss

[@CaptainMarvel4Ever]

***** Awesome, he's my second all time favorite (I'm sure you can guess #1).

[@CaptainMarvel4Ever]

Sora Shiun'in Also now that I'm all caught up on Arc-V I can say: "Of course you'd love Firestorm, he's a super hero that's created by fusion" :) (Yeah I know, that was kinda lame)

[@PhotonKingShark77]

Hahaha.

[@ethangilbert4896]

HISTORY OF BLACK CANARY

[@witherblaze]

Dare ya to do a history of mr. Mxyzptlk

[@firepopcorn1237]

I like the Firestorm from DC's Legends of Tomorrow:Jax(Jefferson) and Professor Stein

[@firepopcorn1237]

YodaWithASoda how?

[@staticshotaop561]

Firepopcorn 123 im asking the questions

[@kinggrimlock311]

Can you please do a history of Captain Atom video? He's one of my favorite superheroes ever and it would really mean a lot.

[@coc8648]

Antman >>> Captain Atom

[@kinggrimlock311]

@@coc8648 Major BS. Captain Atom is a hugely interesting character with awesome powers and a crazy good backstory. Plus there’s enough Antman videos on the internet, bud.

[@vullord666]

​@@coc8648 I feel like you're confusing captain atom with the atom (or just Atom). The former is the inspiration for Doctor Manhattan and has nuclear based atomic powers and the latter is DC's shrinking hero.

[@Faithhop3love2]

History of the atom? Just cause he's in Arrow and I want to learn more about him, I'm sure I'm not the only one :)

[@austinsturgeon9718]

***** can you do a history of Vibe?

[@alicheffou7208]

Austin Sturgeon I asked for the same thing

Uh, cool.

I always thought Firestorm was visually cool!

[@evanwiggins5879]

History of blue beetle

[@thebatmanover9000]

I wish Firestorm could transmute nonorganic matter on the Flash.

[@HeatForce]

I dunno the creators of the flarrow universe have kept many promises so I wouldn't be surprised if firestorm developed this ability down the road.

[@CaptainMarvel4Ever]

thebatmanover9000 Good news firestormfan.com/2015/05/20/flash-finale/ :)

[@adrish6990]

sounds like fullmetal alchemist

[@ericwester3016]

please do a history of Darkseid

[@samnolan4812]

History of Lazarus Pits!!! I think it would be really interesting!!! Please!!!

[@g.d2450]

Does my head in when characters keep getting re-imagined..

[@ezthejedi]

This is perhaps the DOPEST DC Character Bio TImeline of all time....Finally a DC character I could see myself actually gettin into

[@Zeronos63]

[@vovoroshi7449]

History of Vibe/Killer Frost!

[@TheGeckoNinja]

kewl that the flash tv show depicted firestorm with that same chest symbol as in the comic :D

[@sydneyannebarton6144]

A version of Firestorm was featured in Batman: The Brave and the Bold (although we don't talk about that show). Also please History of Vibe!!!

[@TheMikester307]

I remember buying the first Firestorm comic way back when!

[@statelesscaesar9682]

History of Moon Knight!! I would love to see you do a history of this unknown character by most people. Would love to cosplay as him in Alamo City Comic Con!

[@dandremathis11]

Everyone starts off as a football player lmao

[@Shawn4815162342]

you should do a History of Rip Hunter

[@anthonyforde6447]

Very topical of you

[@realmrtoxichd122]

he can't he was only made for the t.v. show

[@thepronoob4039]

Uh no, he's in the comics. He's Booster Gold's son.

[@xXArcherSwordXx]

Don’t you mean the future Of R.I.P. Hunter

[@milesmorales6305]

The Pro Noob no he isn’t

[@godkorea]

Please do Hawkman and Hawkgirl. They are my personal favorite. ( Not to mention that Hawkgirl will show up in the 'Legends of Tomorrow'). I also think they are highly underrated. ( Especially for Hawkman who was just ruined by New 52)

[@Burning-Twilight]

Minkyu Kim He is a pretty good support character in the JLU books

[@godkorea]

I know. But, his series was just ruined by you know who( I dare not say his name)

[@Burning-Twilight]

Minkyu Kim Yeah savage hawkman was not the best hawkman series but it still had a few good stories in it I plan on reading all of it one of these days (I feel bad for hawkman such a tragic origin for him and his people)

[@godkorea]

I really wish DC will hire Geoff Johns again as a writer for Hawkman. That is the guy who made me like Aquaman. And, he is one of my favorite comic book writers.

[@Burning-Twilight]

Minkyu Kim True but then again I think I would like him to write shazam as he has been teasing at writing the series and shazam has never truly had an ongoing series ever since he was bought from fawcet comics and has had nothing more but mini series plus he need the promotion since he is getting his own solo movie just like cyborg who is getting a solo series soon

[@realtalk4689]

Nice history recap, how much heat can he generate? Also I agree mad max was really good, BTW did you'all notice it was sci-fi action well done without the goofy humor? And unlike most marvel films it will be positively remembered ten years from now.

[@benwrobel3987]

If you haven't done a history of Red Hulk... Can you please do it? I don't really know much about him and I want to learn more.

[@jaziahj.5293]

You can look it up.(sorry if that sounded rude it's not meant to be)

[@cheifsosa8864]

Who's Red Hulk?

[@ultimategamings]

Jaziah Jones with that logic, you may as well just look up Firestorm or anyone else that has been covered on this channel

[@jaziahj.5293]

I'm just saying it would be easier than waiting for him to make a video when he could just look it up and since he doesn't get like every single detail he might read something that wouldn't be in said video.

[@deandraewhite6197]

General Thaddeus Ross

[@andreaskevin3833]

Can you do a history of the almanga heroes (think thats how you spell it)

[@spookie1024]

It's Amalgam, actually, Arris should just do a history of the company itself.

[@crow0314]

I agree, Amalgam would be sweet

[@blackbeard_yf127]

arnt the Amalgam charecters cross's between marvel and dc?

History of redhulk

[@KingDaeQuann95]

Look at you with hair Arris 😂😂😂😂😂

[@rustydaboyrobot]

I can see the 80s comics are the only ones that matter. I grew up reading the original Firestorm and Im a big fan....of THAT Firestorm. It was Spider-Man meets Reed Richards....teen angst, insecurities, lack of knowledge/experience....but optimistic, good hearted, brave....along with a genius scientist giving him mentorship and help...almost a father/son dynamic....with the typical disagreements etc. Perfect character...with flaws, powerful enough to match anyone's, relationship issues, etc. Favorite issue: Firestorm vs Superman.

Doomsday Clock revived my interest for Pozhar and Firestorm.

[@jac0736]

You forgot to add in the New 52 version had the firestorm protocols deactivated, leaving Ronnie and Jason powerless. A few months later Jason discovers a spark of power, meaning they can one day become Firestorm again, and eventually they merge, but instead of creating Fury they create the complete Firestorm with Ronnie piloting and Jason as the voice in the back of the head.

I have netflix, but I'm in Australia. The library of netflix is a lot smaller. Is Flash usually on it?

[@videostoper3]

It's not on Canada's Netflix, but I know American Netflix has more movies than Canada's.

[@israelblanco8923]

There's also an app called Show Box, you won't find it on the app store you have to download it online, but it has all of the flash episodes and a lot of movies too

[@ArDeeNY1]

Israel Blanco yeah I have it too, it's the best app I have ever had on my phone ever. It has pretty much every episode of every show

[@drizzydrew98]

It will probably be added once season 2 is ready to start

[@sebgomez2688]

It usually comes a weak before the first episode of season 2

[@joeyrogal1891]

History of vibe and killer frost?

[@Calzaki]

And this my friends is another example of DC's new 52 being an ongoing example of not only taking stuff that wasn't broken, but instead of trying fix it, just dump on it and call it canon. Truely the Cherry on top of the company which turns everything it touches into a pile of shit whether it be film or comics now :(

[@Burning-Twilight]

Callum Armour Hey man the New 52 might not be perfect but neither was post crisis DC everything has its flaws but we should try and focus more on the good things then the bad less we become people who only look for the bad in things

[@ldiod4374]

Why are you singling out the new 52 for that? DC's other continuities are guilty of that too.

[@soCanadianEH27]

Callum Armour It didn't even do anything wrong to Firestorm.... Out of all the heroes that the New 52 changed, Firestorm definitely was not one of them. And before going out and bashing the New 52, think of how it greatly improved Aquaman, Animal Man, Green Arrow, Captain Atom, Guy Gardner, and thank the creation of the awesome Justice League Dark.

[@Calzaki]

If the New 52 was so great they wouldn't be backtracking with q converted explanai on to apease fans by telling us 'everything that we changed still exists somewhere in the multiverse. I can't think of one character apart from Animal Man where changes actually helped. Green Arrow had years of stories, development and relationshipsupport tossed in the bin while great characters got completely wiped from existence like cassandra can and stephanie brown who were both great Bay girls, just so they could bring back Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, despite the fact she was firmly established as one of the best developed characters as Oracle... And how did they explain that? With "Oh yeah she was still shot in the spine and paralysed by the Joker but recovered completely from paraplegia in less than 5 years. On top of that she's still portrayed as a teen/early 20s at most yet every Robin except stephanie brown still stay as Canon so we'recommend meant to believe that Batman has gone from Dick to Jason to Time, Jason coming back and then Damien in the same time span. That's the new 52, changing a he'll load of stuff to make it 'simpler' for new readers when in fact it's put them off because all they'be done is make it more complicated, erased years of good story, changed characters personalities to the point where their not recognisable to casual fans anymore and made it entirely conflict with other characters who they haven't changed and there for just doesn't make sense.

[@Burning-Twilight]

Callum Armour Stephanie brown actually does exists in the New 52 she just operating as spoiler now and if its any consideration post crisis DC does exists in the multiverse if you read the final issue of convergence and yes while many characters have changed quite a lot I am fairly certain more then just animal man were made better

[@ronnyjordan9957]

Thank for making a history for firestorm because his name is ronnie and me to thank:)

[@JesusGonzalez-jt7zh]

Yes! I was knew he would mention Deathstorm.

[@anthonyvoskuhl9200]

I don't understand this desire to compete against a total douche bag for a girl that could be attracted to said douche. if you know the girl is attracted to a shitty human being then why would a decent person want that girl? it's an undoubtable sign of that girls own fuckedupness. but in comics girls are both physically attractive and also clueless about what makes a guy a high quality mate.

[@MaxPower-om5ui]

Power of boners.

[@woe1008]

but how do you know she knew of these Characteristics? maybe she truly didn't know and if she didn't and found out about he really was how do you know she would still be attracted to him?

[@sonowbrand7824]

I feel more confused going out than coming in to this video. lol

[@mellotron12]

Sonow Brand Because DC, for the past ten years or so, has made everything confusing. The original mini-series and the 1980s series are great, not at all difficult to follow, with stories socially relevant to the period.

Rearrange anything at a subatomic level and all he needs is a PhD in the subject matter. That's the most OP superpower I've ever heard of. He can kill anyone
