Fictional character biography


Jason Rusch is a 17-year-old living in Detroit who lives with his abusive father Alvin Rusch after his mother leaves the family. He becomes a courier to gain money and bonds with the Firestorm matrix, which seeks a new host following Ronnie Raymond's death. Unlike Ronnie, Jason initially does not have a set matrix partner, instead bonding with various civilians.
In 52, Firestorm is fused with Cyborg due to malfunctioning Zeta Beam technology. After being freed, he forms a new Justice League with Firehawk, Ambush Bug, Super-Chief, and Bulleteer. After failing to handle a crisis staged by Booster Gold's robot Skeets, the new League disbands.
In One Year Later, Jason and Gehenna search for Martin Stein after his former pupil Adrian Burroughs kidnaps him. Later, Jason and Stein meet Shilo Norman, who informs them that the Firestorm matrix contains part of the Life Equation. After Darkseid kidnaps Stein, Jason and Gehenna work together to find him.
While apprehending Killer Frost in the commission of a heist, Jason is severely wounded by Lex Luthor, the Joker, and the Cheetah. While still recovering, he helps rescue the Justice League and joins them. Firestorm later battles the Shadow Thief, who previously killed Ronnie Raymond, and depowers him by sealing his mouth.
