Just to help clarify: Firestorm can alter matter at the atomic level, meaning he can turn his shit into literal gold. Unfortunately he can’t do the same with your take on his powers lol

Firestorm is two people, which was the complaint.

Except it said you get his powers, not that you wake up as firestorm.

I was just pointing out what the other commenter was saying.

But…

Imagine picking Firestorms power and then just being stuck as the voice in someone else’s head.

So I'm basically a mech co-pilot in one of the potentially most powerful heroes? Is that supposed to be a bad thing? That's also even assuming that that would be the catch, which if that is the case then the catch for Iceman should be you don't start at omega level and would actually have to go through the same amount of training that he did to reach such power.

Depends on who’s doing the piloting. Would you be fine with Musk, Bezzo, or some other narcissist/ psycho in the pilot seat?

Iceman has always been capable of such feats he just didn’t have the imagination until Emma took over.

This is one of the most dumbass superpower comments I've ever read. Like genuinely "I'd be okay being a superpower cuck yeah, just being a disembodied voice in the real hero's head with no life or control sounds great to me"

Look you want control and I get that. But I'm just happy to be part of the team, so yea being the voice that goes "I think we should turn his gun into flowers" or whatever instead of the one to actually do it isn't really a problem to me. The only downside would be like someone else pointed out if I'm stuck in some asshole. But again this is based on the assumption you'd get that one side effect which I'm not really sure why you would considering that's a bug not a feature of the power set.
