Hah! I started to watch Night Watch once-- these are those Russian paranormal movies? --but I've never seen that scene. Guess I'd better!

It's not really a yo-yo but one of those toys that you get with a shiny package on one end and an elastic string. It is still a really fun scene though.

Age:Appears about 19-22 but the Firestorm Matrix is ageless.
Sex:Female
Height:6 foot
Hair:Flames
Eyes:White
Bio: Firestorm is the construct made when Lily and Ronnie combine. Because of the circumstances that occurred when this first happened, Lily is the one in charge of the body (which is why it appears female), while Raymond is a presence inside her mind able to observe and offer her advice and insight.
Powers: Molecular Manipulation: Firestorm has the ability to rearrange the atomic and subatomic structure of inorganic matter, rearranging subatomic particles to create objects of different atomic characteristics of equal mass. She can not only change and transmute the atomic composition of an object (e.g., transmuting lead into gold of equal mass) but she can also change its shape. She cannot, however, affect organic matter without painful, even lethal, feedback. This organic limitation does not extend to her person as she can change herself at will, allowing her to regenerate lost and damaged tissue, boost her immune system, shapeshift, and survive indefinitely without food, water and air. Much like a Green Lantern's limitations, Firestorm can only create items the "driver" of the Firestorm matrix is able to understand the workings of. Unlike a Green Lantern's creations, Firestorm's alterations are permanent unless she reverses them.
Energy Blasts: Can shoot concussive force, heated or charged particles, and powerful 'fusion blasts.'
Flight: She can fly up to speeds of 600 mph.
Enhanced Physicality: Possesses superhuman durability, strength, reflexes and reaction time. She can also easily regenerate injuries many times faster than normal human beings.
Enhanced Vision: Can see atomic interactions and the structure of molecules. She can also see the ultraviolet spectrum and detect thermal signatures, and she also has microscopic and telescopic vision.
Self-Sustenance: Can self-sustain herself for extended periods of time with food or water. She can survive in space without equipment.
Intangibility: Can become intangible and phase through solid objects and energy without any harm.
Background: Lily and Ronnie had both accompanied her Father on a trip to the new super collider being built by S.T.A.R. labs. It was an extra credit assignment and Lily went because she really wanted to see it, while Ronnie did it for both the credit and because Elizabeth was going.
They had toured the facility, meeting various scientists and while Ronnie spent most of the time trying to get close to Elizabeth, Lily soaked in all the information she could. The tour however came to an abrupt halt when warning klaxons began going off and flashing lights began pointing to the way out. In their haste several people were knocked over and both Lily, her dad and Raymond stopped to help. It was while doing this they heard a large explosion and professor Stein was knocked down and buried beneath some rubble. Both Ronnie and Lily tried to free him until Lily saw a blast wave of fire approaching them. She threw herself across Ronnie, knocking him behind a pile of rubble and landing on top of him. The blast passed over them bringing burning pain and for a second or two they both passed out.
Lily was the one to stand up first but when she did something felt wrong. Her body didn't feel right, it different somehow and when she looked for Ronnie he seemed to have disappeared. She began to feel pissed that he had run off and left her there when suddenly he was talking in her head. Startled she raised her hand and a jet of fire shot out of it.
Eventually they worked things out, were able to free her father and get out without anyone seeing them. Over the next few months they worked out how to combine and separate into the being they had become. They dubbed it Firestorm and learned what it could do. Ronnie was disappointed that only Lily could be in the driving seat but he thought the more they learned maybe eventually they would learn how they could each be the one in charge.
Right now they are just having fun learning all the things they can do. So far they have not gone public with their new powers, deciding it is better to know what they can do before trying to battle anyone, however both of them think it is almost time the world new there was a new hero in town.

Firestorm looks good to me, all three of them!
You could bump Ronnie's intelligence up a little, forties, mid-forties?
And we can get them all some combat training once they're on board, Blue and Major Girl would probably be good for that? The Doctor, of course, can know any martial art from the history of Earth-14, but better to not have her carry all the weight of things-- I'm hoping she's more of a tour guide and emergency back-up than stealing the spotlight all the time with her diversity of power.
Var, do you have any input on Firestorm from Earth-568?
And with that, I am out for the weekend. Sorry to leave Challengers hanging, Var I owe you a lovely PM, I'll see you guys Sunday night.

Yeah I could never remember what baseline human was. I thought it was about 20 so Ronnie being an Athlete would be a little above in Strength and Durability and could probably handle himself in a fight. Lisa a bookworm would be below but with PHD's would be way up in Intelligence. But I guess Ronnie could be bumped up. You do have to have some intelligence to be a QB and I did say he was studying a business course.

I'd personally say ronnies combat would be five higher, Lily's five lower (to reference her science and his more sports. (he's no GI JOe but he is a sports player.)
Yeah I don't think the numerical system holds up well, becausein in the end you just want to know relative to other people how you stack up and what type of challenges would be challenging.
Combat: {pacifict, street brawler, human soldier, special forces, peak human, take out 5 henchmen, take out a platoon of soldiers unarmed, take out the entire USA armed forces, take over the world blind folded, punch an asteroid in half, beat up a god...}

Well since my last post out of character my internet got cut in half so now I'm on my phone I will be plotting replies for everybody and posting them as soon as I can.

Overall I think Legend's ranking system is okay, but Intelligence and Combat should have been broken down like the rest of the stats.
Because they weren't, the numbering for Combat and Intellect seems to exist on a wholly different scale, in which peak human tops out in the low nineties and then ascends from there exponentially towards superhuman capabilities-- like Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Level Intellects for Brainiac-type characters. That, I think, is the main source of confusion for things, but I feel like we muddle through okay.
Just another thing to work around when carrying on the work from another person, I guess.
So 90 is fine for Lily, as she's a genius-- like Damian, and Ruby, and so forth-- but not superhumanly smart like Milton or Lysl.
Yes, I completely agree with this. Thank you, Var.

It's okay, dear, seriously. Take all the time you need.
Thank you for letting us know you're stuck.
If you think of anything to help you get unstuck, please let us know that too, okay?

So, I don't know if this constitutes cheating...
...but I've added a "wish-list" to the tag post for Ruby's H-Dialings.
Of course, you folks should still slap me with the random stuff, but I would absolutely love it and be grateful if you would surprise me from time-to-time with some of the names from that list.
Thanks, y'all!

Could call him Brainball.
Another could be Ghost freak/Blok. Call him Rocky Horror.
And you know you love me.. I am as big a Legion fan as you are....

Update, my neighbors are geniuses! After cutting the internet they chose to continue their yard work and severed power to my house. Hopefully I will have power tomorrow.

See, I only started just before and just after Zero Hour and had to work back. I know a lot about that era, but you definitely know more about the preceding stuff!

Hope they are paying for all repairs and are baking something to offer in humble apologies.
