Firestorm #31 - DC


We learn a lot this issue. But, not everything yet. And everyone is on hand to participate, Firestorm, Firehawk, Gehenna, Pohzar, Pionic Man, Tokomak and his "dollies". We learn that Tokamak was behind the whole thing. When the original Firestorm beat him the first time, he was left in a body riddled with radiation, and a destroyed immune system. So he started working on a cloning program. His clones were called "dollies". He did so repeatedly until he came up with the perfect body, at which time he transferred his consciousness into it. But he wasn't happy there, he wanted his powers back also. So he began arranging Nuclear "accidents" to test his "dollies". One of those "accidents" is the one that created the Pionic Man. Finally through one of the "accidents", he got his powers back. Gehenna is also one of his clones. Although she never knew it because he told her she was his daughter. In Firehawk's case, he was also the man that kidnapped, tortured, and turned her into Firehawk. His master plan is to create Nuclear "accidents" all over the world, with all the power and residue going into orbit to be collected into his giant "dollie" satellite. And then, have the power fed back into him. Making him, possibly, the most powerful man on the earth. Jason foils his plan though by separating him from his "dollie". But before he dies, he tells Jason that he knows why he is Firestorm, but with his death, Jason never will. Like I've told you before, Firestorm is one of my favorite characters, and I really have been extremely happy with this book so far.
