Firestorm is a nuclear powered hero with flight, strength, energy blasts and even the ability to rearrange the molecular structure of non-organic matter into whatever they want.

Whether it be Ronnie Raymond and Professor Martin Stein, or Raymond and Jason Rusch, or various other combinations, Firestorm as a character allows for that discussion between two different viewpoints in and of itself.

This usually works best when the characters come from two completely different mindsets and backgrounds, and would add an extra level of diversity to the team if done right. And hey, if they wanted to really push that forward, could even make it a combination of new characters allowing for whole new stories never seen in the Justice League before.
