It does beg the question, though… what did the Syndicate do with Firestorm’s body, itself? I get the idea of using him as a prison, and maybe all of the shock from all of those superhumans’ consciousnesses (and bodies) being inside of him knocked Ronnie out. That, I can get. But the actual physical body of Firestorm has to be somewhere, doesn’t it?

Maybe we’ll get a brief appearance of a variant on the blank slate Firestorm, as a sort of deus ex machina to beat the Syndicate: he starts being able to use the powers of some of the superheroes imprisoned in him, and FIRESTORM SINGLE-HANDEDLY TAKES DOWN THE SYNDICATE!

Well, that last part will never happen. But, it’s nice to dream!

Over in Flash, all of the Rogues had their powers internalized at some point in the past, as part of a plan by Captain Cold. And none of them were particularly happy about it. I think that Cold having his powers removed will further this internal conflict for the Rogues, who have not been on great terms with each other over the course of the Flash book. Especially considering the Rogues ongoing involvment in Forever Evil (in Rogues Rebellion) plus Cold’s seeming ongoing role in the main series.

Loving Forever Evil! If anyone wants to take me to task on it, then come at me bro!
