One of the coolest aspects of each Who’s Who issue was the amazing wrap-around cover! Check out this exceptional cover by Ty Temploton! However, one important question… where are Ed and Felicity Raymond?!?! Click the image to enlarge.

Here are your Firestorm-related Who’s Who entries from this issue…

First up is the Zuggernaut by Joe Brozowski and Sam De La Rosa.  Sigh… yes, the Zuggernaut. Conceptually a neat villain, in practice, pretty much a punch line for Firestorm jokes. He first appeared in Firestorm the Nuclear Man #69 and was last seen (thankfully) in Firestorm the Nuclear Man #73. Considering The Flash TV series has borrowed so many Firestorm villains already, I kinda expect the Zuggernaut to show up some day. Then we’ll know the show has officially “Jumped the Shark”. Click to enlarge.

Next up is Ed and Felicity Raymond by Joe Brozowski and Sam De La Rosa. Ed is Ronnie Raymond’s father; Felicity is Ronnie’s step-mother.  More importantly, Felicity’s prior name was Felicity Smoak! Yes, THAT Felicity Smoak! Did you know your favorite Arrow hottie started off as Firestorm’s step-mom?!? And listen to this episode to hear Rob take this drawing out behind the woodshed and beat it thoroughly. Click to enlarge.

First up is the teenage Soviet super-team, Soyuz by Joe Brozowki and Sam De La Rosa. Soyuz lived in the Soviet Union and were supporting characters during the “Blank Slate” period of Firestorm. Firebird was the niece of Mikhail Arkadin (one part of Firestorm). Click to enlarge.

Next up is the Firestorm foe, Stalnoivolk (Steel Wolf) by Joe Brozowki and Sam De La Rosa. Steel Wolf was essentially a Soviet Super Soldier. Similar to Captain America in his physical abilities and his patriotism for his country. He first appeared in Fury of Firestorm #67 and eventually went on to work with the Suicide Squad. Click to enlarge.

Eddie Slick first appeared back in Fury of Firestorm #51 & #52 (1986). When he was first introduced, Eddie was a corrupt boxing manager. He had no super powers, but was a surprising look-a-like for Professor Martin Stein. When Eddie reappeared in Firestorm the Nuclear Man #74 & #75 (1988), he’d been buried alive in the desert by his gangster “friends”. Through a series of unique events, Eddie survived and was transformed into a creature entirely composed of sand, able to control other sand at will. He called himself “Sand Demon” and went on a rampage across Las Vegas. From next week’s preview of The Flash, it appears the TV version of Eddie Slick has similar powers.

From a creator rights perspective, this character raises an interesting question. Writer Gerry Conway and artist Joe Brozowski created the character of Eddie Slick. However, Eddie didn’t have any super powers in those appearances. Writer John Ostrander and artist Joe Brozowski introduced Eddie Slick’s powers and the Sand Demon persona. So which writer gets financially compensated for Kett Turton’s portrayal on The Flash next week? Is the Sand Demon derivative of Eddie Slick, or the same character? Is this another creator rights situation similar to what happened with Caitlin Snow? I can’t help but wonder.

Below you’ll find an amazing recap of Eddie Slick/Sand Demon’s history found on Comic Book Movies: Who’s Who:

Not much is known about Eddie Slick’s early life, apart from the fact that he had always been good in making the worst choices possible. He lived in New York City, and he was a small-time crook, a gangster-wannabe who always tried to make money the fastest way possible. He joined a group of professional criminals, some true mobsters who had quite a taste for gambling…especially when they won. In order to become good friends with them, Slick reinvented himself as a boxing manager, obviously doing his best to fix the competition, warning his pals which fighter they had to place their bet on. His most succesful athlete was a beast of a man stage-named King Crusher, who was doing good…but not good enough. Slick drugged all his athletes as a rule, but with Crusher he decided to do something more, and when he managed to put his hands on some experimental mutagenic steroids, he treated Crusher with them. As a result, King Crusher surely became bigger and stronger, and he kept winning a match after the other…but the process wasn’t stopping, and he became strong to superhuman levels; the steroids also affected his psyche, and the wrestler went mad. In a vengeful rampage, King Crusher targeted Eddie, and the manager couldn’t do anything but run from him. Luckily enough, in NYC’s streets King Crusher saw Professor Martin Stein, who was dating Emily Rice. Coincidentally, Stein looked exactly the same as Slick, and the wrestler targeted him instead. Stein had the time to look for his young friend Ronnie Raymond and to merge with him to form the superhero Firestorm, defeating King Crusher and saving Eddie Slick in the process…but the whole illegal steroids traffic, the gambling circuit and all Slick’s affairs were exposed, thus ending the crook’s criminal career.

Eddie Slick managed to avoid prison, but that wasn’t a stroke of luck at all: his powerful friends from the mob had lost a fortune with the King Crusher affair, and they wanted to exact justice their own way. Slick was deemed responsible for the entire situation, and the gangsters decided to make an example of him: they brought him to their headquarters in Las Vegas, and they executed him by buring him alive in the Nevada Desert. The sand of the desert, however, was irradiated, and the close encounter with Firestorm had already modified Slick’s organism: instead of dying as he was supposed to, Slick was transformed into a creature entirely composed of sand, able to control other sand at will. Weeks spent underground had also made Slick insane, and he emerged from the desert pretty much deranged: naming himself Sand Demon, Slick returned to Las Vegas and started hunting down his former friends and employers, killing them one after the other. These murders attracted the attention of the new Firestorm (formed by Ronnie Raymond and Mikhail Arkadin), who was looking for a still MIA Martin Stein. From the news, Ronnie believed that the Sand Demon was actually Stein, and traveled to Las Vegas to try and make him “come back to his senses”. In the middle of a desert, with all that sand at disposal, Slick proved to be an extremely dangerous opponent even for Firestorm, especially considering that the latter was restraining himself believing he was facing his friend Martin Stein. When Ronnie realized the Sand Demon wasn’t Stein at all, and that he was far too powerful and too crazy to be controlled, he stopped holding back, and he used his powers to overheat Slick, turning him into glass. The Sand Demon’s body fell to the floor and shattered, thus ending the short-lived superhuman existence of Eddie Slick.

Eddie Slick is, simply put, a complete failure. Greedy, vulgar, sneaky, Slick makes the one and simple mistake of believing himself to be extremely smart, while he’s actually quite a dumb man. As the Sand Demon, he’s a remarkably powerful being, entirely made of sand (thus invulnerable to most arm) and capable of manipulating surrounding sand as well: in the Nevada Desert, he has an entire state to control, thus creating sandstorms, tornadoes and even gigantic quicksands. Just as powerful as he is crazy, Sand Demon is an extremely dangerous man, once stupid and mediocre, now stupid and lethal.

So Eddie Slick joins the long list of Firestorm characters to appear on The Flash:

• Ronnie Raymond (Firestorm) played by Robbie Amell
• Professor Martin Stein (Firestorm) played by Victor Garber
• Caitlin Snow (Killer Frost, eventually) played by Danielle Panabaker
• Danton Black (Multiplex) played by Michael Smith
• Bette Sans Souci (Plastique) played by Kelly Frye
• Jason Rusch (Firestorm, in the comics) played by Luc Roderique
• Henry Hewitt (Tokamak) played by Demore Barnes
• Eddie Slick (Sand Demon) played by Kett Turton
• Clarissa Stein (Clarissa Clemens, in the comics) played by Isabella Hofmann
• Quentin Quale (Stein’s boss in the comics) played by Bill Dow
• Felicity Smoak played by Emily Bett Rickards  (okay, she’s from Arrow, but she still originated in Firestorm)

With all these Firestorm characters on The Flash, I can’t help wondering if at some point we’ll see Hyena, Typhoon, or Black Bison. While I ask that, I can also argue against them. Hyena might be too redundant on The Flash as an animal foe after introducing Gorilla Grodd. Typhoon might be too redundant on The Flash after introducing Weather Wizard. That leaves Black Bison, which would be really cool, but walks that dangerous line of reinforcing stereotypes. So bottom line… watch for Zuggernaut and Bazooka Joan in season three!!

C’mon Shag! What about The Flash Season Two Premier?!?

By this point, I’m sure some of you are wondering why I haven’t mentioned the events of The Flash season premier. I’m sure some folks haven’t had a chance to watch the episode yet, and I don’t want to be the guy to spoil it for them. We’ll talk about that later. Yes, we definitely will.

Super-Team Family proudly presents Firestorm and Hawkeye in “The Manhattan Project!”

No, you didn’t miss an inter-company crossover featuring the Bombastic Bowman and the Nuclear Man. This fictitious meeting is the work of a gentleman named Ross Pearsall who runs Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues! That site is dedicated to the greatest team-ups that never happened. He started with Brave and the Bold fake covers starring Batman, transitioned into Marvel Two-in-One fake covers starring the Thing, and is now doing Super-Team Family featuring a wide variety of team-ups. This entry features a Joe Brozowski Firestorm paired with (I believe) a Don Heck rendition of the Avenging Archer! I love Ross’s choice in Firestorm images for this one. This Firestorm art comes from the cover to Fury of Firestorm #48 where he’s up against Moonbow, a female archer! Nice symmetry! On top of all that, Ross is a former letter-hack to the Fury of Firestorm comic! Look for him in letter columns while reading your back issues!

Like the cover above? Well, below are several previous Firestorm appearances on The Lost Issues blog:

• Firestorm and The Thing
• Firestorm and Spider-man
• Firestorm and Power Man & Iron Fist
• Firestorm and The Mighty Thor
• Firestorm and Iceman
• Firestorm vs The Hulk
• Firestorm and Nova
• Firestorm and Iron Man
• Firestorm and The Vision
• Firestorm and The Human Torch & Toro
• Firestorm vs The Avengers
• Firestorm and Captain America

First up is the Weasel drawn by Joe Brozowski and Dennis Janke. Firestorm encountered the Weasel in Fury of Firestorm #38 (cover dated August 1985). More recently the Weasel showed up as a Black Lantern in Blackest Night. Click to enlarge.

Next is the Vixen drawn by Luke McDonnell and Bob Smith. Vixen was a member of “Justice League Detroit” and a sometimes-ally of the original Firestorm (incarnation #1). More importantly, Vixen served as a JLA teammate to the Jason/Gehenna Firestorm (incarnation #7). Also worth noting, the writer who co-created Vixen was Gerry Conway (the same writer who co-created Firestorm)! Click to enlarge.
