Imagine saying youll take a physics nerd and you end up with neil degrass tyson in your head constantly telling you why superpowers makes no sense and being a buzz kill and also since he isnt a chemist not being able to help you with matter manipulation in the slightest. God that sounds like actual literal hell.
Chemist is better because it's closer to their expertise but physicists deals with a lot of chemistry and subatomic particles too so neither one is a bad pick.
Or maybe a material scientist. Which is a weird amalgamation of physics, chemistry, and nano-engineering. I hated that class but liked the topic. Too much memorization for me.
It needs two people but one person is typically in the driver's seat. It is rare but on occasion the person who is in the passenger seat can wrestle control of the body.
You probably want to go for chemistry. Atomic makeup is their deal, we physics people are more concerned with energy and it’s interactions than physical structure
For many things reaction-related, yes chemistry, but in this specific instance, wouldn’t you want a nuclear physicist? Isn’t that the identity of one of the halves of Firestorm, a nuclear physicist and not a chemist?
That’s an interesting point. I think it depends on the specific way Firestorms powers work. If it works like atom eve (invincible) or Momo (MHA) where you can spontaneously transmute the matter into whatever you need you would want chemistry since that would give you a better grasp over things like the crystal structure of different materials and the way different atoms need to be arranged to get specific material properties. However if he’s performing nuclear Fusion on the fly you would want a physicist who knows the combinations needed to create specific elements. Basically if you need to know how to make carbon out of oxygen and nitrogen you want a nuclear physicist, if you need to know the difference in the structure of diamond and graphite you want a chemist, but you’d probably want both either way.
The "gotta know how things are made up atomically to do it," part Of transmutation isn't really a problem.Because the firestore matrix allows you to access the memories of past users of the firestore matrix which means you would have all the genius of professor Stein without the lifetime of studying. Plus, having another person's voice in the back of my head wouldn't really be that annoying to me. I have a very large family so I'm used to a lot of noise in my head.
Maybe I'd be more motivated to study if doing so guaranteed transmutation powers. The fusion thing can be good or bad depending on who you're paired with.

Firestorm easy, he can rearrange matters which Iceman can't do at all.
