1) I agree about this one. However, forgetting this seems to go back as far as Ronnie’s appearances in the JLA in 2002. He had some drunken college moments in that one also.

2) I always thought that wasn’t really Ronnie in that story. I felt it was a combination of Firehawk’s memories and the echo of Ronnie on the Matrix. That’s just my two cents.

3) Intangible? Hadn’t thought about that. That would be cool to have again. Yes, that’s about how Stein lost the Elemental powers (to join Jason).

4) What do I know, I work at Gizmonic Institute.

Thanks for stopping by!

1) For someone who went into rehab (Extreme Justice), Ronnie is sure surrounded by lots of beer.

2) I wonder if they are ignoring the story arc in Jason’s series when Ronnie and Jason DID meet? Or is there some reason behind him not remembering it? Seems, sometimes, that Firestorm writers remember what they want to remember and erase the rest. (See also: not deciding how old/competent Ronnie is. Though you can use the “the former BL’s return in their primes” excuse…)

3) FS will be intangible again? I guess banning that from his powers only applied to Jason? And I need to reread the latest FS series, as I still dunno how Martin was taken out of the matrix. And did he give up his elemental powers when him and Jason “rebuilt” Firestorm?

4) Is it just a show, and should I really just relax? 😉

At any rate, welcome back Firestorm! Can’t wait to see how things work out!

I was surprised by how young Ronnie is. One of the few times I have read about him was in Power Company, and he was older in that series. I guess thats part of the White Light deal but I was genuinely surprised at that turn. (Same as how Aquaman has both of his hands… and not a squidface.) The confrontation between Ronnie and Jason was great. Definitely looking forward to seeing more insight into Ronnie’s mind and how he feels about the things that Black Lantern Firestorm did.

Jason is going to be angry for a long, long time. I don’t think anything can change that and I don’t think anyone can blame him. Will his anger cloud his judgement and intelligence? It’s something to keep an eye on.

Seeing these two together along with Hawk and Dove should mean plenty of contentious relationships for the heroes in the coming months!

Ray Palmer being there was a nice touch as well.

And I agree that having Stein as the supporting mentor character is great, especially as he can play the voice of reason for both kids.
