"The Nuclear Man" will be an episode of The Flash completely devoted to Firestorm. Here are all the details so far...
NewsThe Flash has been teasing us with Firestorm stuff kind of since before it was even its own show. During the ramp-up to the first Barry Allen appearance on Arrowin 2013, I couldn't help but notice the similarities to Firestorm's origin present with the STAR Labs particle accelerator. Hell, I even just assumed that Firestorm would be the focus of that, not Flash.
Sometimes, it's nice to be wrong.
And after Firestorm's rather dramatic entrance in "The Man in the Yellow Suit" and with "Revenge of the Rogues" and "Crazy for You" having devoted significant time to setting up more of his origin, now we know when we'll get to meet him for real. It's in The Flash episode 13, appropriately titled, "The Nuclear Man."
Watch the trailer here:
That looks...pretty impressive, actually. I initially thought Firestorm would just be introduced like another STAR Labs side-effect of the week, but this definitely looks like something a little more.
And here's the official synopsis for the episode:
ROBBIE AMELL AND VICTOR GARBER GUEST STAR AS FIRESTORM — After Ronnie (guest star Robbie Amell) attacks a physicist (guest star Bill Dow), Barry (Grant Gustin) and the team realize they need to go after Caitlin’s (Danielle Panabaker) fiancé who is now a dangerous meta-human. They deduce the best way to track Ronnie is to find Dr. Martin Stein (guest star Victor Garber) who was working on a project called F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. Barry struggles to balance his duties as The Flash and his relationship with Linda Park (guest star Malese Jow), and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) enlists Cisco’s (Carlos Valdes) help to reinvestigate the murder of Nora Allen (guest star Michelle Harrison). General Eiling (Clancy Brown) returns to Central City. Glen Winter directed the episode written by Andrew Kreisberg & Katherine Walczak (#113).
The Flash"The Nuclear Man" will air on February 10th. We'll update this post with more details as we get them.
