Firehawk/Lorraine Reilly
Lorraine Reilly is the daughter of Senator Walter Reilly. She was transformed
into Firehawk by Henry Hewitt and Danton Black as part of a plot by the 2000
Committee. Originally brainwashed to obey Hewitt, she overcame the brainwashing
and joined Firestorm as a superhero. As Firehawk she can fly, generate intense
heat and flame, and produce bolts of fire and make objects burst into flame.
Firehawk pursued Firestorm romantically, extending to Lorraine pursuing Ron
romantically, but they broke up and she was later involved with Booster Gold.
Firehawk has been associated with the JLA, The Captains of Industry, and IMHS.
She has recently become a major character in the new Firestorm, where it
has been revealed that she is now a senator.
Soyuz
A team of young Russian heroes, Soyuz is lead by Mikhail Arkadin's niece
Serafina. The membership consists of Serafina Arkadin/Firebird who is
telepathic with telekinetic abilities, Ilya Trepilov/Perun who can control
electricity, Mashenka Medvienko/Ruselka who can control water, Moizoko
Medevienko/Igor who can create cold, and Feodor Sorin/Vikhor who can control
wind. They allied with Firestorm and fought together during the Invasion!
storyline and have assisted Young Justice. We may presume they are still
active in Russia and Eastern Europe.
Captain X/Richard Dare
Before leaving to go fight in WWII, Richard Dare left his then-girlfriend
Patricia pregnant, though he didn't know this until much later. Dare worked as
Captain X for the US government during the war as an aviator and later during
the Cold War as a secret agent. He returned to America finally to find Patricia
had died. He blamed her son, Ed Raymond for this but made up with him upon
learning that Ed was his son. He continued to work for the US government in
intelligence work until being killed by Stalnoivolk.
Moonbow/Brittany Brandon
Bree is a rich girl with a sprit for adventure who attended Vandemeer University
with Ron. She was interested in Ron romantically but he never returned the
interest. She adopted a Robin Hood persona she named Moonbow and stole money
from the mob before being caught and rescued by Firestorm. Since then Bree has
not been active in her Moonbow persona.
Edward Raymond
Ed Rockwell was a reporter who testified against a New York gangster called
"Shoe" Shine. The Shine family had his wife Elaine killed, and to protect his
infant son Ron they entered the witness protection program. Ed loved his son
but found it hard to express his feelings for him and they had a tense, distant
relationship. Ed and Ron moved around a lot when Ron was young, intensifying
Ron's feelings of not belonging. Ed vowed when Ron was old enough he would come
back to New York - that the Shines would not drive him from town. He was
attacked by the Shine family and apparently killed but later turned up alive
after those responsible were brought into custody. Ed later met Felicity Smoak
and fell in love with her. They were later married. He supported Ron in his
career as Firestorm after he learned of it, though he opposed their stand
against nuclear weapons. During the time Ron was imprisoned within Firestorm
III, Ed lashed out against Firestorm. Last seen, Ed Raymond was living with
Felicity in New York when Jason visited them to inform them of Ron's apparent
demise.
Felicity Smoak Raymond
Felicity Smoak was a business woman with a successful software company that was
accidentally ruined by Firestorm when he turned the roof of the building
magnetic. She sued Firestorm, but later retracted her suit and learned that one
of his alter-egos was the son of her fiancée Ed Raymond. She agreed to keep
Ron's secret from Ed and when Ed learned it they had a big fight. However, they
made up and were last seen together.
Doreen Day
Doreen dated Ron on-and-off during high school and the early part of her college
life. Her sister Summer is The Hyena I. She often resented Ron's evasions and
lies that he gave her to preserve his secret identity and this caused the most
friction in their relationship. After Ron revealed his secret identity to her
she broke up with him, telling him she couldn't take it that he didn't trust
her. Ron's instinct not to tell Doreen proved true, as she revealed his secret
identity to one of the Manhunters whom she believed was a government agent.
Doreen hasn't been seen since the end of Firestorm (2nd run) and
is probably living somewhere in suburbia.
Gehenna
Gehenna is a young girl who was rescued by Jason Rusch from a hideout of the
Society of Super Villains. She had no previous contact with the outside
world, and was incredibly naive (and still is, in may respects). She is
only 6 years old, but having been hyper-aged by her father (revealed later to be
Tokamak) she is actually an older teenager. She and Jason are currently
dating, and she is living with him. Gehenna has the powers of
teleportation, and limited telepathy.
Mick Wong
Mick is Jason's best friend, whom he has known since 4th grade. Jason and
Mick moved in together after Jason revealed to Mick he was Firestorm.
Jason was merged with Mick when Donna Troy called up Firestorm for her space
team in Infinite Crisis, and agreed to remain merged with Jason for the
mission. He died when Firestorm's powers consumed him, after insisting
upon remaining to help save alien sleeper vessels (knowing he would be killed).
Mick's death has had a profound effect upon Jason.
