Jason Rusch is the 17 year old prodigal son of Alvin and Sylvia Rusch in Detroit, Michigan. With his father unemployed and mother gone, Rusch took a courier job to pay for his college. During his job, Rusch encountered the Firestorm Matrix, an object in search of a new host after its first was killed. He struggled with his new identity but eventually learned how to control his powers and became the next Firestorm.
Most likely too powerful to be left to his own wits, Batman approached Firestorm and secretly considered him for an eventual expansion of the Justice League. Firestorm was put in action sooner than Batman could predict when Superwoman, Captain Super, Uncle Super, and Captain Super Junior teleported into the Watchtower in search of the Quantum Trigger. Firestorm tried to trap Captain Super Junior in the floor but only angered the villain. He knocked Firestorm unconscious and was about to kill him but Black Canary saved the day and blew Junior away.
