What Lance Martin said, too.

I think they brought Martin back just to keep their options open. I sort of doubt that there are serious plans for bringing him back into the alter ego fold (otherwise they would de-age him, not give him a bald head and long geezer hair). But, in case there is some kind of clamor or groundswell for the original pairing, he’s there….

It was a shame that Jurgens did not handle the Firestorm relaunch under “52” from the beginning. It would have been nice to see Jurgens introduce the Rogues on a slower pace.

I think Stein was brought back in a last ditch nod to long-time Firestorm sufferers in much the same way that a significant list of the rogues gallery was brought back in the end. I doubt there are immediate plans for most of those characters, but it sure was fun seeing them again.

Well, call me crazy but I think the obvious choice is Captain Atom. But considering his fate in Firestorm #15, I guess that is unlikely.

The 3 way cover also has Star Spangled Girl attempting to blast Firestorm. I just assumed they deemed her the best fit on the team to take him down. Possibly because she is a teen girl and she could “woo” Firestorm before knocking him out.

The promotional art/three-way cover for “Trinity War” shows DOCTOR LIGHT in the mix, and the character was recently introduced as working for ARGUS in JLA. Light versus Firestorm isn’t a perfect match-up, but c’mon, this is a board that pitted Katana against Wonder Woman!

If not Doctor Light, then maybe the Atom herself if she’s really a double agent, or else someone else from the League’s recruiting drive in issue #18.
