Wow, the old “Firestorm as a backup in Flash” thing is in full effect, it seems! I just hope they wait until at least season 2 before giving us the Nuclear Man.

As far as the effects, considering that you don’t need to have them be in costume, a simple “burning man” look might be the fused form of the two. And the transmutation is easily enough done with some opticals and camera tricks. I’m thinking the simple CGI way that Clark’s heat vision was animated on Smallville, which would then produce a phyiscal fire effect. Firestorm points his finger at something, little wavies come out of his finger tip, and the whatever transmutes into the whatever.

Plus that’s a power you can easily enough cut around — I’m thinking the bad guy is trying to escape in a parking lot, Firestorm points his hand, suddenly cut to the guy now stuck in liquid asphalt. Just brainstorming…

It is already confirm by Variety and Hollywood Reporter that Firestorm will appear in CW The Flash and Robbie Amell will play one half of the character. This comment is to Mark Baker-Wright

While it’s increasingly clear that the creators behind “The Flash” are Firestorm fans, I remain doubtful that the existence of these characters means that Firestorm, per se, will eventually be appearing. The special effects required to create Firestorm are far and away more involved than those required to create the Flash.
