The Flash: 10 Predictions For The Rest Of The Series

4. More Focus on Firestorm

From the little screentime that we€™ve seen of Firestorm, there€™s a lot more going on than we€™ve found out so far. The character is struggling with his identity so that still has to be explored. It€™s entirely likely that this is something that won€™t be resolved fully when it is explored further, as in the comics Firestorm is the fusion of two separate characters, Ronnie Raymond and Martin Stein. Stein has been cast, with Victor Garber set to play the character. There€™s also the possibility of another Firestorm €“ Jason Rusch was another character to take on the mantle in the comics, and is to be played by Luc Roderique in the series. The fact that Ronnie Raymond is Caitlin€™s fiancée is also going to have to be explored further, as the two characters will have to come to terms with that previous relationship, especially given that more than one person makes up Firestorm. There€™s also room to explore what happened to Ronnie since the accelerator and just how he came to be fused with Stein, and maybe even the danger that his fire powers could bring too. Furthermore, he€™s the only other metahuman that€™s shown the possibility of becoming a hero that could help Flash against the myriad of enemies about to come his way, and the steady dawning of this heroism could lead to a great character arc. It could also lead to some fantastic battles towards the end of the season as Flash and Firestorm take on the likes of the Rogues and Reverse Flash, so not to bring Firestorm back into focus would be missing a trick.
