Line 58:
* [[Go Mad From the Isolation]]: Part of the technique to brainwash Lorraine Reilly.
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: Strong-willed personalities can take control of the matrix from Jason, leaving him a passenger in his own body.
* [[Hands
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Ronnie and Martin gradually become this, despite the gaps in age and personality
* [[Hilarity Sues]]: Felicity Smoak sues Firestorm after he inadvertently wipes out her company's computers ''twice'' with magnets. She drops the case when Firestorm's speech during the trial both convinces her that his noble intentions outweighed the harm done, and causes her to realize he's her step-son.
Line 71:
* [[Jerkass]]: Both Ronnie and Jason can have their moments, but the king of this trope in the series is Cliff Carmichael, who progresses from bullying Ronnie to trying to get him crippled or killed, simply out of schoolyard rivalry.
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: Ronnie's first inclination when discovering he had powers was to be a superhero.
* [[Laser
* [[Legacy Character]]: Of sorts. There's usually some element of a previous incarnation included in the current makeup.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Martin Stein is often perceived this way after the initial disaster (as he designed the reactor). There are plenty of real cases of it, though, such as Killer Frost and Tokamak.
* [[
* [[Missing Mom]]: Ronnie's mother died when he was young. Jason's abandoned him after his father's abuse of her.
* [[The Nudifier]]: Firestorm did this to Plastique during her first appearnce. He vaporised her costume, leaving her naked and humilated in puplic, while he took the bombs that had been attached to her costume away to explode in a safer area.
* [[The Obi
* [[Odd Couple]]: Jason, the somewhat uptight nerd, and Ronnie, the hard-partying jock. Made even more explicit in [[Batman the Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman the Brave And The Bold]], where Jason is portrayed as a scrawny weakling, while Ronnie is a muscular dimwit.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Martin Stein, for Ronnie Raymond, at least until Ronnie's relationship with his father is patched up.
Line 90:
* [[Two First Names]]: Ronnie Raymond
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Firestorm can't affect organic material without suffering painful feedback. Also, initially if Firestorm was formed while Stein was missing his glasses, Firestorm would be nearsighted.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Martin's reaction to Ronnie forcing them to become Firestorm on an issue Stein disagreed with. Ronnie's step-mother explicitly draws a parallel to rape. Ronnie is remorseful, but it takes time for the trust to be rebuilt between them.
* [[Witness Protection]]: Why Ronnie's father had them traveling from place to place during Ronnie's youth
