!! Firestorm
The entity formed as the result of the F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. matrix combining with two people, merging them into a single nuclear powered superhero.
----
* DoubleConsciousness: A literal example of this, as while they are combined as Firestorm, they are two minds sharing the same body. It was initially taken to extremes when Stein and Ronnie were [[FightingFromTheInside initially fighting each other for control]], unable to separate their memories and desires.
* EnergyAbsorption: All Firestorms have the ability to absorb energy from nuclear blasts. Firestorm-II was able to abordb the blast from Vandal Savage's nuclear warhead, containing the fallout to a safe levels.
* FlamingHair: Same deal as the first one.
* FlyingFirepower: All versions of them can fly by projecting nuclear blasts on the ground.
* FusionDance: All versions of Firestorm are the result of two individuals fusing together into one body, with the Firestorm-I happening as the unintentionally as the result of the Particle Accelerator explosion.
** On a meta-level, Franz Drameh and Victor Garber even did the actual ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' [[http://comicbook.com/2016/02/15/legends-of-tomorrows-firestorm-does-a-dragon-ball-z-fusion-dance/ Fusion Dance pose]].
* FunWithAcronyms: '''F'''usion '''I'''gnition '''R'''esearch '''E'''xperiment and '''S'''cience of '''T'''ransmutation '''O'''riginating '''R'''NA and '''M'''olecular structures. You really have to wonder how long it took him (and, by proxy, the show's writers) to come up with something that spelled out "Firestorm".
* HandBlast: Firestorm's primary means of attack and how they are able to fly is to aim their hands downward with enough force to defy gravity, enabling stable propulsion and gliding.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Every Firestorm has had difficulty controlling the powers to begin with. Jax is the only one who was able to have a [[TheMentor teacher]] as Martin already had experience Firestorm for a year.
* PlayingWithFire: He's gained fire abilities since the explosion. He doesn't have much control over them, however. By the time his two components learned to fuse and defuse at will, they had the time to work on it.
* PowerPerversionPotential: When separated from their initial fusion, they can feel what the other is feeling. Now imagine if one or both of them are having an intimate time with their respective lady loves...
* ProphetEyes: Using his abilities makes his eyes turn completely white.
* PsychicLink: Due to being fused together in the Firestorm matrix, Ronnie and Stein both feel when the other is in great distress or pain.
* SharingABody: By means of a FusionDance, as Firestorm he has [[DoubleConsciousness the minds of two individuals]] inhabiting a single body.
* WreathedInFlames: When he first uses his powers on-screen. In fact, in general whenever he uses his powers.

A "man on fire" who is rumored to be hiding under a bridge somewhere in the city. The military has some interest in him, he is startling similar to Ronnie Raymond, Caitlin's supposedly dead fiancé and he is in some way connected to Professor Martin Stein's research.
It is then revealed that he is in fact Ronnie, but also Professor Stein, as the two were fused thanks to the Particle Accelerator explosion. With Team Flash's help, Ronnie and Stein have both been separated and learned to re-fuse at will.
After the battle against the Reverse-Flash, a wormhole opens in the sky of Central City. While Barry is attempting to close it, a strong energy similar to the one they produce when Ronnie and Stein fuse and defuse is needed to complete the process. Because of this, they decided to perform a HeroicSacrifice. Barry was ultimately able to save Stein but not Ronnie, [[NeverFoundTheBody who apparently dies]].
-> see the Characters/ArrowverseEarth2 page for his Earth-2 counterpart, Deathstorm
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics and other adaptations, Firestorm has a straight out FlamingHair. Here, it only happens when he activates his powers, and even then, the TallDarkAndHandsome appearance of his host body remains visible.
* AdaptationalWimp: In a way, since he wasn't able to even learn the molecular transmutation skill that his comic counterpart has.
* AdaptationExpansion: Not him/them, but rather his/their ChestInsignia. In the comics, it's simply just part of the costume. Here, it functions as a stabilizer for him/them during the FusionDance.
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Ronnie and Prof. Stein's respective {{Love Interest}}s are '''C'''aitlin '''S'''now and '''C'''larissa '''S'''tein.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** He shows up just in time to save the Flash from the Reverse-Flash in "The Man in the Yellow Suit".
** He performs another one by tag teaming with The Arrow to take down the Reverse-Flash in "Rogue Air".
** Performs their biggest one by stopping the Singularity, though a sacrifice had to be made with Ronnie having been presumed deceased as only Dr. Stein came back out.
* CivvieSpandex: This version of Firestorm is not wearing a proper costume, and instead wears whatever clothes his host body is wearing.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]]. Though he at first identifies himself as "Firestorm", he was eventually revealed to have been referring to the F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. project by Professor Stein. Once General Eiling starts pursuing him he's consistently referred to as Firestorm by Eiling and his people. Though they are actually talking about the matrix that caused Firestorm's powers, the man and the matrix are one and the same so in practice he does have a codename.
* DeusExitMachina: Flash finally gets a metahuman on his side (that lasts longer than an episode, at least), but unfortunately, Firestorm has to go into hiding in another city.
* FireForgedFriends: Both [[FusionDance literally]] and figuratively. The Flash himself counts as a figurative example.
* HeroicSacrifice: Performs one to close the wormhole atop Central City. Prof. Stein made it, but Ronnie [[NeverFoundTheBody apparently]] didn't.
* HeroicSuicide: Attempted when they hear Team Flash talking about him going nuclear and potentially destroying Central City. To be more specific, Stein thought of it while Ronnie protested given they're sharingbhis body, and the latter resented the former for a while because of this.
* LivingMacGuffin: Team Flash want to help Ronnie, but Eiling's got his eyes on the Firestorm Matrix.
* OlderThanTheyLook: While they're still SharingABody, Martin Stein tried introducing himself to an old colleague, who mistook "Ronnie" for a student in the college where he worked when Stein said "they went to school together".
* TogetherInDeath: When they performed a HeroicSacrifice to close the wormhole that is about to engulf Central City, though only Ronnie ([[NeverFoundTheBody apparently]]) dies. [[spoiler: Invoked during Stein's death, as Caitlin told him during his funeral to say hi to Ronnie for her.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pizza. Ronnie always liked it, and once they became psychically linked, Professor Stein grew to love it too when he originally despised it.
* WalkingSpoiler: Thanks to his identity not being revealed until the ninth episode (and TheStinger of the eighth episode), when he's introduced.

After Ronnie sacrificed himself to save Central City, Professor Stein began to die without having another partner to fuse with. Luckily a young mechanic proved to be the ideal match.
----
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The quantum splicer is what enables Stein's and Jax's FusionDance and when a brainwashed Rip Hunter disables it with an EMP, they de-fuse and unable to merge until it's fully functional again.
* TheBigGuy: He's one of the Legend's go-to guys when it comes to fighting.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: A fatally wounded Stein gives Jax a serum to remove their PsychicLink and FusionDance capabilities in order to prevent the latter from also dying.]]
* CivvieSpandex: He is wearing Jax's casual clothes in his first outing [[JustifiedTrope as he is in a hurry due to Tokamak wrecking havoc at the time]]. Starting with his second appearance, however, he's been wearing the red and yellow comics costume every time his two components fuse together.
* CompositeCharacter: {{Pun}}s aside, the second version of Firestorm in the comics is Jason Rusch ([[DecompositeCharacter who already appeared in the first season]]). Jefferson Jackson is merely Ronnie's BlackBestFriend there. This version of Firestorm is clearly inspired by Rusch's tenure.
* FireForgedFriends: [[FusionDance Literally]] and figuratively, though their initial relationship wasn't as nearly rough as it was [[FightingFromTheInside with Ronnie.]]
* GlassCannon: Easily the most powerful of the Legends in terms of raw power, but goes down in one hit from Barry's lightning attack in "Invasion!" and a single arrow from Merlyn in "Aruba," the latter even causing him to de-fuse.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Does not appear until ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season Two.
* LegacyCharacter: Succeeded Ronnie as the host body for Firestorm.
* MatterReplicator: In the Season One finale of ''Legends'' , he discovered a new power. Just as in the comics, Firestorm can now transmute elements and he turned a Thanagarian meteor into a large puddle of water.
* SaltAndPepper: He's a combination of a Caucasian man (Stein) and an African-American man (Jax).
* StoryBreakerPower: Being the most powerful Legend who could single-handedly handle most of the threats the team encounters, Jax and Stein often find themselves [[DramaPreservingHandicap physically separated from each other]] when the plot demands it.
* SuperiorSuccessor: If only because he's able to at least learn about his molecular transmutation skill that the Ronnie/Stein version didn't.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about him without discussing the aftermath of the first season.

The creator of Project F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M., who mysteriously vanished the night the particle accelerator exploded. Prof. Stein had actually been affected by the accelerator's dark matter wave merging with the thought-to-be-deceased Ronnie Raymond and his creation, the Firestorm Matrix, becoming the meta-human known as "the Burning Man," with Prof. Stein's mind taking control of Ronnie Raymond's body.
Their powers greatly endangering both their lives due to the unstable Firestorm Matrix, Stein and Ronnie eventually came to accept each other as partners forming the conjoined hero known as Firestorm. After Ronnie's sacrifice to save Central City from the Singularity, Stein was in danger from the Matrix once more, but was saved by a potential replacement for Ronnie in Jefferson "Jax" Jackson.
Along with "Jax", he join Rip Hunter's team. [[spoiler: In ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX'', after being fatally shot, he took a serum used to disband Firestorm in order to prevent Jax from dying alongside him.]]

----
* AbsentMindedProfessor: Shows shades of this, being a bit forgetful at times such as [[ForgottenFirstMeeting failing to remember teaching Ray Palmer]]. He literally gets called this by Caitlin after his interactions with his past self lead to him having a daughter which he had no recollection of.
* ActionDad: After interacting with his past self and telling him to cherish Clarissa, the timeline is altered and he has a daughter, Lily.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Martin Stein from the comics is smart without question, but he's mostly only depicted as a nuclear scientist. This version also displays knowledge on Time Travel and Alternate Reality, and it is implied that he knows a lot more.
* {{Adorkable}}: Just watch him excitedly ramble on about time travel and alternate universe. He even nicknames a super villain, much to Cisco's approval. When Rip and some of his teammates were captured by Time Pirates, he gleefully takes on the role of "Space Ranger", a comic that he loved as a child.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Though the Season One finale of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' throws off the ambiguous part. He's not just Jewish, he's an ordained rabbi.
* AndStarring: Is given a "Special Guest Star" on ''The Flash''.
* BadassTeacher: He ''is'' a professor, and Ray was even a former student of his.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: In 1870 he saves the life of a boy dying of tuberculosis, learning afterwards that his name is [[Creator/HGWells Herbert George Wells]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: He and Ray are the team's resident scientists, and get along particularly well. Sara and Jax even refer to the two of them as the "nerd twins".
* BroughtDownToNormal: When Firestorm helped Barry close a singularity threatening to destroy Central City, Ronnie apparently died, leaving Stein without full access to his Firestorm powers. He regained them when he fused with Jax instead.
* CatchPhrase: "Astonishing."
* CelebrityParadox: ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'' was mentioned by Jax in ''Series/TheFlash2014'', and Ray mentioned the real one in Episode 3 as an ActorAllusion since his actor, Victor Garber, was part of that film's main cast.
* ChekhovMIA: He's first introduced having already gone missing, after heading off to confront the person who shut down his work. Whoever it was must have worked at S.T.A.R. Labs, as he was there the night of the explosion and was fused with Ronnie.
* CoolOldGuy: He gives Barry advice about his love life. Later, he gives Eddie a solid pep-talk when Eddie's feeling the effects of "Wells"' BreakingSpeech, denigrating him as the "disappointment" of the Thawne family.
* DeadpanSnarker: Quite a bit, mostly about the crew discussing things quite loudly.
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:Before he dies, he drinks a serum to sever his and Jax's ties to the Firestorm matrix in order t save the latter's life. His Earth-2 counterpart died because he was forcefully trapped inside Ronnie's body when the latter [[AssholeVictim was killed off]].]]
* DefrostingIceKing: He is at first very cold to Team Flash and the idea of camaraderie with them, but after being saved by them, he warms up to them, even taking the role of TeamDad for a few episodes.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Twice.
** He spends [[spoilers: his final moments comforting Jax and thanking him for the adventure of a lifetime.]]
** His past self learns the exact date of his death but decides not to try and change anything, since he'll be an old man who's lived a full life with a loving family and friends who care about him.
* FanBoy: Of Space Rangers.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Both he and Palmer express disbelief that magic was involved in the origin of Savage and the Hawks. He seems to find it more believable when Ray comes up with the idea that the meteorites carried some sort of mutagen that altered the three. He at least has a greater justification for thinking this, as he hasn't had the opportunity to be as exposed to magic as Ray has.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: He couldn't remember that Ray was a former student of his. Justified in that Stein is a seventy-year-old man and can't be expected to remember one student from one semester after close to fifty years of teaching.
* FusionDance: With Ronnie, later Jax, in order to become Firestorm.
* HappilyMarried: Despite a bad habit of putting his work first, he enforces time and again that he loves his wife Clarissa. In the new timeline, a daughter was born from their relationship.
* HeroicSacrifice:
** Attempted in ''The Flash'' Season Two. He shuts down the wormhole by going into the middle of it as Firestorm and separating. He makes it out alive, but Ronnie, to everyone's dismay, does not.
** In ''Crisis on Earth-X'' he goes to [[spoiler:open the breach to Earth-1 despite the great risk of getting shot by the Nazis, and he does. It costs him his life]].
* HeroicSuicide: He tries to kill himself in Ronnie's body so it will not go nuclear and kill everyone. Thankfully averted.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: While their relationship isn't without some strife, it's clear that Stein and Jax are each one of the most important people in each others' lives.
* HiddenBadass: Despite usually being the NonActionGuy, Stein's [[MadeOfIron tougher than he looks,]] even without the Firestorm matrix.
** After getting captured by General Eiling, he was tortured in order to get the secrets of Firestorm, but managed to resist (something even Eiling was surprised by) without saying a word.
** He endured a similar treatment when he was captured by Valentina Vostok and Vandal Savage in 1986, only giving in when they threatened Ray Palmer and Mick Rory rather than himself.
** Was able to beat a time-pirate hand-to-hand all by himself, even walking away with his weapon and hat afterwards.
** Takes it one step further in Season Three by managing to overpower Damien Darhk, the man that killed Sara's sister Laurel in the present.
* HiddenDepths: Stein's singing voice is beautiful enough to [[MakesSenseInContext move a Nazi general to tears]].
* HippieTeacher: Though we've yet to see him teach a class, he is a professor and he did protest the Vietnam War in college.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Defied trope. He is one of the few people to not criticize Barry over Flashpoint, and admits that he would do the same thing for his family, and in fact does the same thing when he asks Jax to not bring up that his daughter was born from his accidental meddling with the timeline.
* IconicSequelCharacter: While he's introduced during ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season One, this means he does not appear in the Arrowverse until its third year.
* IHatePastMe: He is annoyed by his twenty-five-year-old self, partly for being a pot-smoking hippie, but also because of how similar he is, and he laments that after all this time he is still much the same.
* ImMrFuturePopCultureReference: He introduces himself to his younger self as "Professor [[UsefulNotes/SpaceX Elon Musk]]".
* IntergenerationalFriendship:
** Hits it off pretty fast with most of Team Flash, especially Barry.
** He and Ray Palmer get along quite well too, due to [[BirdsOfAFeather both being scientists]]. He's old enough to have taught Ray a long time ago.
* InsufferableGenius: He can verge into this, especially as a young man. After having to deal with his past self, he acknowledges this as his biggest weakness.
* JumpedAtTheCall: He was very excited at the prospect of time travel.
* KnightInSourArmor: He's less than impressed with the team, giving a snarky description for each of them that makes for great trailer fodder.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Dies in the final part of ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX''.]]
* TheLancer: He and Jax share the role as Sara's deputies in Season Two.
* LastNameBasis: He has a notable habit of addressing his teammates this way, e.g. "Miss Lance", "Mr. Rory", "Dr. Palmer", etc. When he calls Sara by her first name, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness she realizes something is up]].
* LegallyDead: He was missing for over a year after the Particle Accelerator explosion.
* LikeASonToMe: Comes to see Jax as this, realizing that before he had unexpectedly found himself with a daughter, he had already unexpectedly found himself with a son. This actually extends to the whole Stein household who see Jax as a part of their family, with Clarissa seeing him as a son and Lily considering him a brother.
* MadeOfIron: Despite his age and stuffy academic demeanor, he was able to resist being physically tortured for the secrets to the Firestorm matrix ''twice.''
* MadScientist: He was messing around with molecular transmutation, on a project whose name Ronnie gives Caitlin as the only clue for what made him a meta-human. Subverts this in that he realizes the potential for his research to be misused.
* MarriedToTheJob: Before the reactor explosion, he was more interested in his research than his wife, to his regret. He can't resist advising his past self to be a better husband... which leads to him retroactively fathering Lily.
* MinoredInAsskicking: In "Marooned", he is able to save the team on his own, taking out a time pirate. And on his own, no Firestorm powers at all.
* MrViceGuy: He has clear problems with his {{pride}}. He is aware of this and hates himself for it.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** He acknowledges that he was wrong to drug Jax and force him to join Rip's team when Jax pulls a WhatTheHellHero.
** He has another one when his interactions with his past self cause the timeline to be changed such that he never married Clarissa. Rip fixes it for him, knowing the pain of losing a wife.
* MyGreatestFailure: He considers Ronnie's death to be this, and is why he is so hard on Jax, because he doesn't want to lose him too.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: [[spoiler:During the final part of the crossover, dying from his wounds, Stein forces Jax to sever their connection in order to save the latter's life. While he wasn't able to save Ronnie, he ''was'' able to save Jax]].
* NerdGlasses: Because SmartPeopleWearGlasses.
* NeverTrustATrailer: In trailers, he is shown to be skeptical about the idea that Ray is a SizeShifter. In the show proper, not only is he not skeptical in the slightest but at one point in the second half of the pilot he actually smuggles Ray into a meeting in his pocket.
* NiceGuy: Despite his issues with pride, he's really polite to Team Flash and later Team Legends.
* NonActionGuy: Without Jax. Well, with Jax, he's still this since he's only providing the strategy and has no control over their body, but he's there in spirit. Subverted in ''Legends'' 1x07; when Rip and the others are captured by the space pirates, it's up to him to rescue them. [[TookALevelInBadass And boy, does he ever.]]
--> That'll teach them to mess with a nuclear physicist.
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: As he reminds Rory, his doctorate is in ''nuclear physics'', not medicine.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Usually carries himself with a more serious and cerebral demeanor compared to Team Flash or the Legends, but nicknames Atom Smasher for Earth-2 Al Rothstein with childlike glee.
** When Jax asks if he's ready for their push [[StormingTheCastle to take the Nazi compound]] housing the gateway back to Earth-1 in ''Crisis on Earth-X''?
--->'''Stein''': [[PreAsskickingOneLiner Let's kick some ass Jefferson!"]]
* NotUsingTheZWord: He doesn't like to use the word "zombie" even when the team has to fight them, due to a (previously) irrational fear of them, but he quickly gets over the aversion when Mick gets infected.
* OnlySaneMan: He's typically the least erratic of all the Legends and tries to be the voice of a reason.
* ParentalSubstitute: Jax sees him as a substitute father and the way Stein acts around Jax is suitably paternal in return. [[spoiler:This makes his death extra difficult for Jax.]]
* {{Pride}}: Arrogance is his flaw, causing his mistakes; he knows it and is ashamed of it.
* TheProfessor: And literally addressed as such, too.
* PsychicLink: Once fused with someone as Firestorm, he shares this with them regardless.
* QuicklyDemotedLeader: He assumes the mantle of the Legends' leader after Rip's disappearance. However, he soon feels that he's unsuited for the job, so he gracefully gives the mantle to Sara.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: [[spoiler: Killed off in ''Crisis on Earth-X'' so his actor could return to Broadway]].
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Even when he's not in Firestorm mode, he is [[RadiationImmuneMutants almost immune to radiation.]] He can even take an unshielded thermonuclear core with only a slight dizziness spell.
* {{Retirony}}: [[spoiler: Just when he and Jax found a way to break up Firestorm so Stein could retire as a legend and be with his family, he gets killed during the ''Crisis on Earth-X'' four-parter.]]
* SaltAndPepper: With Jax. He's the Salt of the pair.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Stein's manner of speaking is very florid and sophisticated. It irritates the more straightforward Jax to no end.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:Just when he was about to retire and spend some well-deserved time with his family, he dies.]]
* TheSmartGuy: He is a world-renowned scientist. He and Ray also share the role of their team's resident scientists.
* StaticCharacter: DiscussedTrope. After seeing his past self he's afraid for 60 years of life he hasn't matured at all. Jax assures him this isn't true, and he does in fact go through some CharacterDevelopment.
* TheStoner: Back in college, he got up to it as much as anyone else in the '70s.
* SurvivorGuilt: He tells Ray the reason he is so hard on Jax is because he still feels guilty for Ronnie supposedly DyingAlone when they made the HeroicSacrifice to close the wormhole
* TeamDad: After Eobard Thawne is outed, Team Flash is left without a lead experienced scientist until he returns for the Season One finale. He continues serving in this role in the early episode of Season Two before he leaves to train Jax as the new Firestorm.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: PlayedForLaughs. Stein is briefly made Captain due to Rex Tyler presuming he was due to his senior age. When Jax calls him Grey, Stein says "That's Captain Grey to you."
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:With his first partner, Ronnie Raymond. Caitlin even tells him at his grave to greet Ronnie for her]].
* TookALevelInBadass: From mostly a NonActionGuy while not merged, he gradually becomes an at least fairly competent ActionSurvivor in time.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He has learned to love pizza due to being fused with Ronnie for 14 months. [[DoesNotLikeSpam He hated it before.]]
* {{Transplant}}: He was a major key character on the first season of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' and a RecurringCharacter in the second before becoming a member of Rip Hunter's team.
* TrappedInThePast: He and Jax get trapped in the Medieval Era after Rip time scatters the team during the Season Two premiere.
* VerbalTic: Has a very formal way of addressing people, always by their title and surname (Ms. Lance, Captain Hunter, Dr. Palmer) rather than by their first name. He also eschews nicknames, addressing Ronnie and Jax as Ronald and Jefferson, much to their consternation at first.
* WhatTheHellHero: Stein drugged Jax and forced him on the trip, which Jax is understandably not terribly pleased about. However, it's later implied that [[StableTimeLoop Jax's own future self was the one who gave him the idea in the first place]].
* WineIsClassy: In "The Nuclear Man", he mentions a fondness for Chateau Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan 1982. And in "Legion of Doom", when Jax asks if he's [[INeedAFreakingDrink drinking coffee mixed with whiskey]], Stein retorts:
--->'''Stein''': [[DontBeRidiculous Of course it's not whiskey!]] [[BaitAndSwitch It's brandy.]] What do you take me for, a sailor?
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Played with. His quick thinking and actions in both parts of the pilot earn most of the team's approval, but especially Mick Rory's -- he doesn't quite know how to handle that yet.
-->'''Mick''': Whatever you roofied him with, I'd like some.\\
'''Stein''': I did not roofie him!\\
'''Mick''': Oh, I ain't judging.

Caitlin's deceased fiancé, and the head engineer for the particle accelerator. He died the night it malfunctioned, giving his life in order to prevent the entire building from being destroyed. It is revealed he is actually alive, but the dark matter wave had merged him with Prof. Martin Stein and had become the host body for the Firestorm Matrix.
Due to the two being's confusion and inability to operate cohesively, the meta-human "the Burning Man" became erratic and dangerous, until [[TheTeam Team Flash]] provided them with a solution to stop fighting their merging and a way to control the Matrix, the two became the hero known as Firestorm, and Ronnie happily reunited with Caitlin, and the two eventually married. In Season Two, Ronnie gives his life to save Central City by closing the Singularity, but Stein survives.

-> see the Characters/ArrowverseEarth2 page to see Earth-2 Ronnie
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Ronnie's intelligence in the comics is nothing to write home about. He's even BookDumb by his own admission. Here he's the head engineer of the particle accelerator and the one who adjusts it to minimize the damage it would have done.
* AgeLift: Ronnie is traditionally a teenager when he becomes the superhero Firestorm; here, he's roughly in his mid-to-late twenties.
* AlliterativeName: '''R'''onnie '''R'''aymond.
* AndIMustScream: How he describes his initial situation with Stein. Cisco asks him what it's like to have those powers, except Ronnie complains that he'd be enjoying every minute of it, if he were actually ''in control''. Thankfully, their situation is remedied by the end of the two-parter where they return, and while Ronnie is in primary control of the body, Stein communicates to him as a mental voice.
* AndStarring: Was credited as a "Special Guest Star" only in the penultimate episode of Season 1. In the SeasonFinale, he reverts back to the regular guest star lineup. Season 2 permanently restores him to the "Special Guest Star" citation.
* BadassNormal: When cornered by the military, and the Flash got incapacitated by a TrickBomb, Ronnie socks Eiling hard enough to topple him and help the Flash into the S.T.A.R van.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ronnie is an overall decent fellow, but Cisco mentions that Ronnie is dreadful when furious and stressed-out.
* CameBackWrong: Seems so at first, though it's eventually revealed it's actually Martin Stein in Ronnie's body.
* CynicismCatalyst: For Caitlin.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: For Deathstorm. Deathstorm doesn't know about him per se (due to also dying), but Ronnie's death was used by Cisco to get on the good graces of Killer Frost, Caitlin's Earth-2 AlternateSelf who is [[InSpiteOfANail also Deathstorm's wife]].
* DoNotCallMePaul: Does not like being called Ronald.
* TheEngineer: The head engineer of S.T.A.R. Labs prior to the Particle Accelerator explosion.
* FireIceDuo: Downplayed with Caitlin, as they never had their respective elemental powers ''together''. When Ronnie became one half of Firestorm, Caitlin had yet to develop ice powers. By the time Caitlin became Killer Frost, Ronnie was long since dead. However they did match the trope personality wise with Ronnie once describing them as being "like fire and ice."
* FusionDance: He is Stein's original partner as Firestorm, serving as the host body.
* HeroicSacrifice: He went inside the accelerator in order to manually redirect the explosion, and made Cisco close the blast doors in two minutes in case he didn't get back in time. He didn't make it back in time. Happens again in the beginning of Season 2, where he shuts down the wormhole by going into the middle of it as Firestorm and the separating. Professor Stein makes it back, but he does not.
* HotScientist: He's smart enough at engineering to help design the accelerator. He's also ''extremely'' attractive. Not so much immediately after coming back, but HeCleansUpNicely again by "The Nuclear Man".
* IconicSequelCharacter: Introduced to the Series/{{Arrowverse}} during its third year.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Immediately after being separated from Prof. Stein after their initial (and unwilling) FusionDance, he asked Caitlin to move away from Central City with him to have a normal life. Realizing that Eilling will continue to hunt him and Stein (who was eventually captured) down for the F.I.R.S.T.O.R.M matrix as well as being inspired by Barry, he finally accepted his (and Stein's) condition.
* InSpiteOfANail: Despite Barry creating three {{Cosmic Retcon}}s after his death, he still ends up dead in two of it. It's unclear what happened to him during the Flashpoint timeline.
* LegallyDead: Twice. First when he's been missing for over a year. The second happened only a few months after coming back. Both times, [[NeverFoundTheBody his body was never found]], and everyone considers him dead after the second.
* LooksLikeJesus: After he CameBackWrong.
* TheLostLenore:
** To Caitlin. Double subverted in that he was revealed to have survived the particle accelerator explosion, but later never made it out of the singularity.
** Martin Stein never gotten over his supposed death either, and he was very hard on Jax, Ronnie's successor, on fear of losing him like he lost Ronnie.
* NeverFoundTheBody:
** A given, since he was vaporized by the particle accelerator explosion. Except he wasn't; TheStinger for "Flash vs. Arrow" reveals that he's still alive, and acquired the abilities of his [[ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} comics counterpart.]]
** And again in "The Man Who Saved Central City", where he apparently was lost when he and Professor Stein de-fused in order to destroy the singularity.
* OppositesAttract: He was warm and jolly, she was cool and logical. They brought out each other's best, and he even referred to the two of them as "fire and ice".
* PosthumousCharacter: Killed in the accelerator explosion. Psych -- he actually survived and has become a metahuman.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
** Inverted with [[Series/{{Arrow}} Felicity Smoak]]. In the source material, she's his stepmother. Here, they don't even know each other personally (yet).
** Played straight with Caitlin, whom he marries in the Season 1 Finale. In the comics, they're enemies (though not without FoeRomanticSubtext, especially on the latter's part).
* SecretKeeper: Upon being calmed down shortly before his and Prof. Stein's initial separation, he/they becomes aware of Barry's identity as The Flash.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He's 5'11.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: Invoked by Caitlin after Stein's death by telling the latter to say hi to him on her behalf.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: More than a few jokes are made about his love for pizza.
* TwoFirstNames: Being a Creator/DCComics based character, he has a last name that is traditionally used as a first name.

----
* AbledInTheAdaptation: Or disabled. The comicbook version of Jax is never mentioned to have an injury, whereas this version's backstory is built around his CareerEndingInjury.
* AcademicAthlete: Former high school football player who had a 4.0 grade average at school and could've apply for an academic scholarship.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, he's merely Ronnie's football teammate and BlackBestFriend. Here, he is his successor as Firestorm.
* AgeLift: Like Ronnie, he's traditionally a teenager. Here, he's in his early twenties while Ronnie is more or less almost a decade older than him.
* AlliterativeName: '''J'''effer'''son''' "'''J'''ax" '''J'''ack'''son'''.
* AscendedExtra: In the comics, Jax is merely Ronnie's BlackBestFriend. Here, he's Ronnie's successor.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: He's the youngest member of the cast, both InUniverse and out. The other Legends treat him like a little brother or a son.
* BadassAndChildDuo: Averted slightly with Stein.
* BadassNormal: It's easy to forget the guy used to be a football player, which means that even on his own he has no problem tackling {{Mooks}} and beating the stuffing out of them.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He was ready to ''execute'' a brainwashed Rip after seeing him kill Sara. It took a revived Sara quite a bit of effort to talk him out of killing Rip.
* TheBigGuy: Aside from [[StoryBreakerPower Firestorm]], Jax is also a former athlete and a BadassNormal more than capable of holding his own in a fight.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:After Stein's death, he no longer can transform into Firestorm. [[BroughtDownToBadass That doesn't mean however that he can't still kick some serious ass.]]]]
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:He decides to leave the Legends now that Stein is dead and he can't turn into Firestorm.]]
* CareerEndingInjury: He saved a student on crutches who couldn't get away during the night the Particle Accelerator exploded, at the cost of an injury that derailed his promising football career and cost him his chance to go to college. It would be an understatement to say he's more than a little bitter about it. It also almost cost him his life when he ran to save Stein from Volstok.
* CompositeCharacter:
** He exists in the comics, but his role as the second Firestorm and Ronnie's successor originally belongs to Jason Rusch ([[DecompositeCharacter who already appeared in Season One]] of ''The Flash'').
** Furthermore, his personality and status as a jock are aspects taken from Ronnie Raymond, whose Arrowverse counterpart has a case of AdaptationalIntelligence and was a renowned engineer before his death.
* DeadpanSnarker: Pretty often.
-->'''Stein:''' It couldn't have been so easy for Raymond either, I mean...give up being the Atom?
-->'''Kendra:''' I'm sorry, can we have a private moment?
-->'''Jax:''' I think we ''all'' wish you would've had this moment in private.
* DisappearedDad: He never knew his father, who was killed in action shortly after Jax was born. He finally meets him near the end of ''Legends of Tomorrow'' Season One.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Made a guest appearance in ''The Flash'' months before the ;;Legends'' series premiere.
* TheEngineer: Of the Waverider; he is trained by Rip to be its main mechanic.
* FlyingFirepower: Part of his abilities as the host body of Firestorm.
* FusionDance: With Prof. Stein in order to become Firestorm.
* GeniusBruiser: Back in the Flash, it was mentioned that he had a 4.0 grade average at school and could apply for an academic scholarship. On this show, he puts his smarts to work by fixing the Waverider and is also the one who helps Ray engineer a method to make him a giant.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Jax and Stein, although they have the occasional rough patch, are extremely close.
* HiddenDepths: He and Nate do a FistBump over their mutual appreciation of [[Creator/IanFleming Ian Fleming's]][[Literature/JamesBond novels]].
* IconicSequelCharacter: Does not appear in until ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season Two.
* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Beats himself up over Stein's death, as he convinced him to stick around more before retiring.]]
* KidnappedByTheCall: When he refuses to come on the mission, Stein kidnaps him onto Rip's timeship.
* TheLancer: In ''Legends'' Season Two he becomes this to Sara. He is usually found following her around and backing her play. When she becomes wounded in episode eleven she leaves him in charge.
* LeeroyJenkins: He ignores Stein and gets in trouble.
* LegacyCharacter: Succeeded Ronnie as the new Firestorm.
* LikeASonToMe: How Stein sees him. [[spoiler:Jax takes it REALLY hard when Stein loses his life.]]
* LovableJock: He saved a crippled student during the Particle Accelerator explosion at the cost of his promising football career.
* MilitaryBrat: His late father was in the U.S. Army.
* MrFixIt: He was an auto-mechanic, and Rip assigned him as the go-to guy on repairing the Waverider [[NotThatKindOfDoctor despite it not being his specialty]]. Good thing Jax reads instruction manuals.
* NiceGuy: He's a friendly and helpful guy by nature, and he loves being part of a team, whether it's football or superheroes (once he gets used to the idea of traveling through time on a dangerous mission, anyway).
* TheNicknamer: Shows a tendency for this, referring to Martin as "Grey" and calling a racist bully in TheFifties "[[Film/BackToTheFuture Biff]]".
* TheNotLoveInterest: Jax is the most important person to Stein among the crew.
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: Rip asks him to fix the Waverider due to being a mechanic. Jax quickly reasons that he is an ''auto''-mechanic.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He's simply referred to as "Jax" to most of the team.
* OnlySaneMan: He's by far the most normal Legend, having not been an assassin, time traveller, criminal, or genius scientist or inventor. When everyone else is debating over whether they should kill Per Degaton or just dump him in a random time period, Jax is the one who suggests just talking to the kid instead.
* PsychicLink: Like what Ronnie had, Jax also shares a link with Stein due to them fusing together.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: After dealing with Stein's death, Jax decides to go on a sabbatical.]]
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Inverted. In the comics, he's Ronnie's BlackBestFriend. Here, they don't know each other and he's merely his successor.
* ReluctantHero: He's very reluctant about the idea of being a superhero, and even after that he's reluctant about the idea of helping Rip Hunter chase Vandal Savage through time. Stein actually ends up kidnapping him because he wouldn't willingly go.
* SaltAndPepper: With Prof. Stein. He's the Pepper of the pair.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: He never appeared in the teaser trailer in order to avoid spoiling Ronnie's death before it was revealed in the Season Two premiere of ''Series/TheFlash2014''.
* TheSmartGuy: He's TheEngineer as opposed to the scientists like Ray and Martin, or the historian like Nate.
* SupportingLeader: Sara temporarily puts him in charge when she's out of commission.
* TagalongKid: While he is an adult, he's the youngest member discounting Rip (who's from the future), [[KidnappedByTheCall though he didn't "tag along" of his own free will]] until the end of the first episode.
* TeamSpirit: Self-admitted.
-->'''Jax:''' [to Stein] I love being part of a team, man.
* TeamDad: Hilariously despite being the youngest of the group. In Season Two he ends up being this. When Sara ends up playing {{TeamMom}} Jax is right behind her giving the misbehaving team members, most likely [[LovableNerd Ray and Nate]] a disapproving eye. If she's not the one trying to sort out the team family like squabbles its Jax.
* TokenMinority: He shares this trope with Kendra Saunders and later Amaya.
* TookALevelInBadass: He is clearly getting the hang of being Firestorm much better compared to when he first started. Also even without fusion, he is found always ready for a fight.
* {{Transplant}}: He made his debut in ''The Flash'' before becoming a main cast member of ''Legends'' in his subsequent appearances.
* TrappedInThePast: He and Stein were trapped in the Medieval Era after Rip time-scattered the team during the ''Legends'' Season Two premiere.
* TwoFirstNames: Jefferson Jackson, what else?

After witnessing Firestorm II in action during 1975, Vandal Savage hired Soviet scientist Valentina Vostok sometime between that year and 1986. They began creating their very own version of Firestorm, having had 10 years to research his abilities before Rip Hunter reappeared. The project to create Firestorm was dubbed "Operation Svarog", in honor of an ancient Slavic god of fire.
-> see the Characters/ArrowverseVandalSavageAndFollowers page for more on Valentina Vostok
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Vostok is usually a hero in the comics.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Her host body is very rigid even before her forced FusionDance with Stein.
* CompositeCharacter: {{Pun}}s aside, the Soviet Firestorm in the comics is Mikhail Arkadin ([[DecompositeCharacter who already appears as her ally]]), while Valentina Vostok is the Negative Woman.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The forced FusionDance between her two components is literally forcing someone to be inside of you.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: AvertedTrope. The way she talks about merging with Stein, and how she forces him to do it, brings to mind a form of rape, and it is most definitely ''not'' okay.
* EvilIsBurningHot: A fire based supervillain.
* EvilKnockoff: Her host body is ordered to create a version of Firestorm after her boss witness Jax and Stein in action.
* GenderFlip: The Soviet Firestorm in the comics is male. [[DecompositeCharacter Said male character appears, though.]]
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Forces Stein into a FusionDance despite his warning of the dangers of doing it without wearing a Quantum Splicer (as was the case during Stein and Ronnie's initial merge). The move literally blew up on her face (along the rest of her body) when Jax pulls out Prof. Stein out of her.
* HowDoIShotWeb: She has little control of her powers, and Stein certainly doesn't want to give her some pointers.
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: A literal example. Jax calls out to Prof. Stein repeatedly during The Legends' fight with her, which succeeds.
* SensualSlavs: A literally and figuratively hot Russian.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: She's very smug and hostile and also the tallest (5'11) woman on Earth-1 to date.
* UnskilledButStrong: She is able to produce fire much stronger than both the Ronnie and Jax versions, but has little control of her powers.

[[folder:In General]]
!! Firestorm
The entity formed as the result of the F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. matrix combining with two people, merging them into a single nuclear powered superhero.
----
* DoubleConsciousness: A literal example of this, as while they are combined as Firestorm, they are two minds sharing the same body. It was initially taken to extremes when Stein and Ronnie were [[FightingFromTheInside initially fighting each other for control]], unable to separate their memories and desires.
* EnergyAbsorption: All Firestorms have the ability to absorb energy from nuclear blasts. Firestorm-II was able to abordb the blast from Vandal Savage's nuclear warhead, containing the fallout to a safe levels.
* FlamingHair: Same deal as the first one.
* FlyingFirepower: All versions of them can fly by projecting nuclear blasts on the ground.
* FusionDance: All versions of Firestorm are the result of two individuals fusing together into one body, with the Firestorm-I happening as the unintentionally as the result of the Particle Accelerator explosion.
** On a meta-level, Franz Drameh and Victor Garber even did the actual ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' [[http://comicbook.com/2016/02/15/legends-of-tomorrows-firestorm-does-a-dragon-ball-z-fusion-dance/ Fusion Dance pose]].
* FunWithAcronyms: '''F'''usion '''I'''gnition '''R'''esearch '''E'''xperiment and '''S'''cience of '''T'''ransmutation '''O'''riginating '''R'''NA and '''M'''olecular structures. You really have to wonder how long it took him (and, by proxy, the show's writers) to come up with something that spelled out "Firestorm".
* HandBlast: Firestorm's primary means of attack and how they are able to fly is to aim their hands downward with enough force to defy gravity, enabling stable propulsion and gliding.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Every Firestorm has had difficulty controlling the powers to begin with. Jax is the only one who was able to have a [[TheMentor teacher]] as Martin already had experience Firestorm for a year.
* PlayingWithFire: He's gained fire abilities since the explosion. He doesn't have much control over them, however. By the time his two components learned to fuse and defuse at will, they had the time to work on it.
* PowerPerversionPotential: When separated from their initial fusion, they can feel what the other is feeling. Now imagine if one or both of them are having an intimate time with their respective lady loves...
* ProphetEyes: Using his abilities makes his eyes turn completely white.
* PsychicLink: Due to being fused together in the Firestorm matrix, Ronnie and Stein both feel when the other is in great distress or pain.
* SharingABody: By means of a FusionDance, as Firestorm he has [[DoubleConsciousness the minds of two individuals]] inhabiting a single body.
* WreathedInFlames: When he first uses his powers on-screen. In fact, in general whenever he uses his powers.

A "man on fire" who is rumored to be hiding under a bridge somewhere in the city. The military has some interest in him, he is startling similar to Ronnie Raymond, Caitlin's supposedly dead fiancé and he is in some way connected to Professor Martin Stein's research.
It is then revealed that he is in fact Ronnie, but also Professor Stein, as the two were fused thanks to the Particle Accelerator explosion. With Team Flash's help, Ronnie and Stein have both been separated and learned to re-fuse at will.
After the battle against the Reverse-Flash, a wormhole opens in the sky of Central City. While Barry is attempting to close it, a strong energy similar to the one they produce when Ronnie and Stein fuse and defuse is needed to complete the process. Because of this, they decided to perform a HeroicSacrifice. Barry was ultimately able to save Stein but not Ronnie, [[NeverFoundTheBody who apparently dies]].
-> see the Characters/ArrowverseEarth2 page for his Earth-2 counterpart, Deathstorm
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics and other adaptations, Firestorm has a straight out FlamingHair. Here, it only happens when he activates his powers, and even then, the TallDarkAndHandsome appearance of his host body remains visible.
* AdaptationalWimp: In a way, since he wasn't able to even learn the molecular transmutation skill that his comic counterpart has.
* AdaptationExpansion: Not him/them, but rather his/their ChestInsignia. In the comics, it's simply just part of the costume. Here, it functions as a stabilizer for him/them during the FusionDance.
* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Ronnie and Prof. Stein's respective {{Love Interest}}s are '''C'''aitlin '''S'''now and '''C'''larissa '''S'''tein.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** He shows up just in time to save the Flash from the Reverse-Flash in "The Man in the Yellow Suit".
** He performs another one by tag teaming with The Arrow to take down the Reverse-Flash in "Rogue Air".
** Performs their biggest one by stopping the Singularity, though a sacrifice had to be made with Ronnie having been presumed deceased as only Dr. Stein came back out.
* CivvieSpandex: This version of Firestorm is not wearing a proper costume, and instead wears whatever clothes his host body is wearing.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]]. Though he at first identifies himself as "Firestorm", he was eventually revealed to have been referring to the F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. project by Professor Stein. Once General Eiling starts pursuing him he's consistently referred to as Firestorm by Eiling and his people. Though they are actually talking about the matrix that caused Firestorm's powers, the man and the matrix are one and the same so in practice he does have a codename.
* DeusExitMachina: Flash finally gets a metahuman on his side (that lasts longer than an episode, at least), but unfortunately, Firestorm has to go into hiding in another city.
* FireForgedFriends: Both [[FusionDance literally]] and figuratively. The Flash himself counts as a figurative example.
* HeroicSacrifice: Performs one to close the wormhole atop Central City. Prof. Stein made it, but Ronnie [[NeverFoundTheBody apparently]] didn't.
* HeroicSuicide: Attempted when they hear Team Flash talking about him going nuclear and potentially destroying Central City. To be more specific, Stein thought of it while Ronnie protested given they're sharingbhis body, and the latter resented the former for a while because of this.
* LivingMacGuffin: Team Flash want to help Ronnie, but Eiling's got his eyes on the Firestorm Matrix.
* OlderThanTheyLook: While they're still SharingABody, Martin Stein tried introducing himself to an old colleague, who mistook "Ronnie" for a student in the college where he worked when Stein said "they went to school together".
* TogetherInDeath: When they performed a HeroicSacrifice to close the wormhole that is about to engulf Central City, though only Ronnie ([[NeverFoundTheBody apparently]]) dies. [[spoiler: Invoked during Stein's death, as Caitlin told him during his funeral to say hi to Ronnie for her.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pizza. Ronnie always liked it, and once they became psychically linked, Professor Stein grew to love it too when he originally despised it.

After Ronnie sacrificed himself to save Central City, Professor Stein began to die without having another partner to fuse with. Luckily a young mechanic proved to be the ideal match.
----
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The quantum splicer is what enables Stein's and Jax's FusionDance and when a brainwashed Rip Hunter disables it with an EMP, they de-fuse and unable to merge until it's fully functional again.
* TheBigGuy: He's one of the Legend's go-to guys when it comes to fighting.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: A fatally wounded Stein gives Jax a serum to remove their PsychicLink and FusionDance capabilities in order to prevent the latter from also dying.]]
* CivvieSpandex: He is wearing Jax's casual clothes in his first outing [[JustifiedTrope as he is in a hurry due to Tokamak wrecking havoc at the time]]. Starting with his second appearance, however, he's been wearing the red and yellow comics costume every time his two components fuse together.
* CompositeCharacter: {{Pun}}s aside, the second version of Firestorm in the comics is Jason Rusch ([[DecompositeCharacter who already appeared in the first season]]). Jefferson Jackson is merely Ronnie's BlackBestFriend there. This version of Firestorm is clearly inspired by Rusch's tenure.
* FireForgedFriends: [[FusionDance Literally]] and figuratively, though their initial relationship wasn't as nearly rough as it was [[FightingFromTheInside with Ronnie.]]
* GlassCannon: Easily the most powerful of the Legends in terms of raw power, but goes down in one hit from Barry's lightning attack in "Invasion!" and a single arrow from Merlyn in "Aruba," the latter even causing him to de-fuse.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Does not appear until ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season Two.
* LegacyCharacter: Succeeded Ronnie as the host body for Firestorm.
* MatterReplicator: In the Season One finale of ''Legends'' , he discovered a new power. Just as in the comics, Firestorm can now transmute elements and he turned a Thanagarian meteor into a large puddle of water.
* SaltAndPepper: He's a combination of a Caucasian man (Stein) and an African-American man (Jax).
* StoryBreakerPower: Being the most powerful Legend who could single-handedly handle most of the threats the team encounters, Jax and Stein often find themselves [[DramaPreservingHandicap physically separated from each other]] when the plot demands it.
* SuperiorSuccessor: If only because he's able to at least learn about his molecular transmutation skill that the Ronnie/Stein version didn't.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about him without discussing the aftermath of the first season.

The creator of Project F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M., who mysteriously vanished the night the particle accelerator exploded. Prof. Stein had actually been affected by the accelerator's dark matter wave merging with the thought-to-be-deceased Ronnie Raymond and his creation, the Firestorm Matrix, becoming the meta-human known as "the Burning Man," with Prof. Stein's mind taking control of Ronnie Raymond's body.
Their powers greatly endangering both their lives due to the unstable Firestorm Matrix, Stein and Ronnie eventually came to accept each other as partners forming the conjoined hero known as Firestorm. After Ronnie's sacrifice to save Central City from the Singularity, Stein was in danger from the Matrix once more, but was saved by a potential replacement for Ronnie in Jefferson "Jax" Jackson.
Along with "Jax", he join Rip Hunter's team. [[spoiler: In ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX'', after being fatally shot, he took a serum used to disband Firestorm in order to prevent Jax from dying alongside him.]]

----
* AbsentMindedProfessor: Shows shades of this, being a bit forgetful at times such as [[ForgottenFirstMeeting failing to remember teaching Ray Palmer]]. He literally gets called this by Caitlin after his interactions with his past self lead to him having a daughter which he had no recollection of.
* ActionDad: After interacting with his past self and telling him to cherish Clarissa, the timeline is altered and he has a daughter, Lily.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Martin Stein from the comics is smart without question, but he's mostly only depicted as a nuclear scientist. This version also displays knowledge on Time Travel and Alternate Reality, and it is implied that he knows a lot more.
* {{Adorkable}}: Just watch him excitedly ramble on about time travel and alternate universe. He even nicknames a super villain, much to Cisco's approval. When Rip and some of his teammates were captured by Time Pirates, he gleefully takes on the role of "Space Ranger", a comic that he loved as a child.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Though the Season One finale of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' throws off the ambiguous part. He's not just Jewish, he's an ordained rabbi.
* AndStarring: Is given a "Special Guest Star" on ''The Flash''.
* BadassTeacher: He ''is'' a professor, and Ray was even a former student of his.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: In 1870 he saves the life of a boy dying of tuberculosis, learning afterwards that his name is [[Creator/HGWells Herbert George Wells]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: He and Ray are the team's resident scientists, and get along particularly well. Sara and Jax even refer to the two of them as the "nerd twins".
* BroughtDownToNormal: When Firestorm helped Barry close a singularity threatening to destroy Central City, Ronnie apparently died, leaving Stein without full access to his Firestorm powers. He regained them when he fused with Jax instead.
* CatchPhrase: "Astonishing."
* CelebrityParadox: ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'' was mentioned by Jax in ''Series/TheFlash2014'', and Ray mentioned the real one in Episode 3 as an ActorAllusion since his actor, Victor Garber, was part of that film's main cast.
* ChekhovMIA: He's first introduced having already gone missing, after heading off to confront the person who shut down his work. Whoever it was must have worked at S.T.A.R. Labs, as he was there the night of the explosion and was fused with Ronnie.
* CoolOldGuy: He gives Barry advice about his love life. Later, he gives Eddie a solid pep-talk when Eddie's feeling the effects of "Wells"' BreakingSpeech, denigrating him as the "disappointment" of the Thawne family.
* DeadpanSnarker: Quite a bit, mostly about the crew discussing things quite loudly.
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:Before he dies, he drinks a serum to sever his and Jax's ties to the Firestorm matrix in order t save the latter's life. His Earth-2 counterpart died because he was forcefully trapped inside Ronnie's body when the latter [[AssholeVictim was killed off]].]]
* DefrostingIceKing: He is at first very cold to Team Flash and the idea of camaraderie with them, but after being saved by them, he warms up to them, even taking the role of TeamDad for a few episodes.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Twice.
** He spends [[spoilers: his final moments comforting Jax and thanking him for the adventure of a lifetime.]]
** His past self learns the exact date of his death but decides not to try and change anything, since he'll be an old man who's lived a full life with a loving family and friends who care about him.
* FanBoy: Of Space Rangers.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Both he and Palmer express disbelief that magic was involved in the origin of Savage and the Hawks. He seems to find it more believable when Ray comes up with the idea that the meteorites carried some sort of mutagen that altered the three. He at least has a greater justification for thinking this, as he hasn't had the opportunity to be as exposed to magic as Ray has.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: He couldn't remember that Ray was a former student of his. Justified in that Stein is a seventy-year-old man and can't be expected to remember one student from one semester after close to fifty years of teaching.
* FusionDance: With Ronnie, later Jax, in order to become Firestorm.
* HappilyMarried: Despite a bad habit of putting his work first, he enforces time and again that he loves his wife Clarissa. In the new timeline, a daughter was born from their relationship.
* HeroicSacrifice:
** Attempted in ''The Flash'' Season Two. He shuts down the wormhole by going into the middle of it as Firestorm and separating. He makes it out alive, but Ronnie, to everyone's dismay, does not.
** In ''Crisis on Earth-X'' he goes to [[spoiler:open the breach to Earth-1 despite the great risk of getting shot by the Nazis, and he does. It costs him his life]].
* HeroicSuicide: He tries to kill himself in Ronnie's body so it will not go nuclear and kill everyone. Thankfully averted.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: While their relationship isn't without some strife, it's clear that Stein and Jax are each one of the most important people in each others' lives.
* HiddenBadass: Despite usually being the NonActionGuy, Stein's [[MadeOfIron tougher than he looks,]] even without the Firestorm matrix.
** After getting captured by General Eiling, he was tortured in order to get the secrets of Firestorm, but managed to resist (something even Eiling was surprised by) without saying a word.
** He endured a similar treatment when he was captured by Valentina Vostok and Vandal Savage in 1986, only giving in when they threatened Ray Palmer and Mick Rory rather than himself.
** Was able to beat a time-pirate hand-to-hand all by himself, even walking away with his weapon and hat afterwards.
** Takes it one step further in Season Three by managing to overpower Damien Darhk, the man that killed Sara's sister Laurel in the present.
* HiddenDepths: Stein's singing voice is beautiful enough to [[MakesSenseInContext move a Nazi general to tears]].
* HippieTeacher: Though we've yet to see him teach a class, he is a professor and he did protest the Vietnam War in college.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Defied trope. He is one of the few people to not criticize Barry over Flashpoint, and admits that he would do the same thing for his family, and in fact does the same thing when he asks Jax to not bring up that his daughter was born from his accidental meddling with the timeline.
* IconicSequelCharacter: While he's introduced during ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season One, this means he does not appear in the Arrowverse until its third year.
* IHatePastMe: He is annoyed by his twenty-five-year-old self, partly for being a pot-smoking hippie, but also because of how similar he is, and he laments that after all this time he is still much the same.
* ImMrFuturePopCultureReference: He introduces himself to his younger self as "Professor [[UsefulNotes/SpaceX Elon Musk]]".
* IntergenerationalFriendship:
** Hits it off pretty fast with most of Team Flash, especially Barry.
** He and Ray Palmer get along quite well too, due to [[BirdsOfAFeather both being scientists]]. He's old enough to have taught Ray a long time ago.
* InsufferableGenius: He can verge into this, especially as a young man. After having to deal with his past self, he acknowledges this as his biggest weakness.
* JumpedAtTheCall: He was very excited at the prospect of time travel.
* KnightInSourArmor: He's less than impressed with the team, giving a snarky description for each of them that makes for great trailer fodder.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Dies in the final part of ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX''.]]
* TheLancer: He and Jax share the role as Sara's deputies in Season Two.
* LastNameBasis: He has a notable habit of addressing his teammates this way, e.g. "Miss Lance", "Mr. Rory", "Dr. Palmer", etc. When he calls Sara by her first name, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness she realizes something is up]].
* LegallyDead: He was missing for over a year after the Particle Accelerator explosion.
* LikeASonToMe: Comes to see Jax as this, realizing that before he had unexpectedly found himself with a daughter, he had already unexpectedly found himself with a son. This actually extends to the whole Stein household who see Jax as a part of their family, with Clarissa seeing him as a son and Lily considering him a brother.
* MadeOfIron: Despite his age and stuffy academic demeanor, he was able to resist being physically tortured for the secrets to the Firestorm matrix ''twice.''
* MadScientist: He was messing around with molecular transmutation, on a project whose name Ronnie gives Caitlin as the only clue for what made him a meta-human. Subverts this in that he realizes the potential for his research to be misused.
* MarriedToTheJob: Before the reactor explosion, he was more interested in his research than his wife, to his regret. He can't resist advising his past self to be a better husband... which leads to him retroactively fathering Lily.
* MinoredInAsskicking: In "Marooned", he is able to save the team on his own, taking out a time pirate. And on his own, no Firestorm powers at all.
* MrViceGuy: He has clear problems with his {{pride}}. He is aware of this and hates himself for it.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** He acknowledges that he was wrong to drug Jax and force him to join Rip's team when Jax pulls a WhatTheHellHero.
** He has another one when his interactions with his past self cause the timeline to be changed such that he never married Clarissa. Rip fixes it for him, knowing the pain of losing a wife.
* MyGreatestFailure: He considers Ronnie's death to be this, and is why he is so hard on Jax, because he doesn't want to lose him too.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: [[spoiler:During the final part of the crossover, dying from his wounds, Stein forces Jax to sever their connection in order to save the latter's life. While he wasn't able to save Ronnie, he ''was'' able to save Jax]].
* NerdGlasses: Because SmartPeopleWearGlasses.
* NeverTrustATrailer: In trailers, he is shown to be skeptical about the idea that Ray is a SizeShifter. In the show proper, not only is he not skeptical in the slightest but at one point in the second half of the pilot he actually smuggles Ray into a meeting in his pocket.
* NiceGuy: Despite his issues with pride, he's really polite to Team Flash and later Team Legends.
* NonActionGuy: Without Jax. Well, with Jax, he's still this since he's only providing the strategy and has no control over their body, but he's there in spirit. Subverted in ''Legends'' 1x07; when Rip and the others are captured by the space pirates, it's up to him to rescue them. [[TookALevelInBadass And boy, does he ever.]]
--> That'll teach them to mess with a nuclear physicist.
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: As he reminds Rory, his doctorate is in ''nuclear physics'', not medicine.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Usually carries himself with a more serious and cerebral demeanor compared to Team Flash or the Legends, but nicknames Atom Smasher for Earth-2 Al Rothstein with childlike glee.
** When Jax asks if he's ready for their push [[StormingTheCastle to take the Nazi compound]] housing the gateway back to Earth-1 in ''Crisis on Earth-X''?
--->'''Stein''': [[PreAsskickingOneLiner Let's kick some ass Jefferson!"]]
* NotUsingTheZWord: He doesn't like to use the word "zombie" even when the team has to fight them, due to a (previously) irrational fear of them, but he quickly gets over the aversion when Mick gets infected.
* OnlySaneMan: He's typically the least erratic of all the Legends and tries to be the voice of a reason.
* ParentalSubstitute: Jax sees him as a substitute father and the way Stein acts around Jax is suitably paternal in return. [[spoiler:This makes his death extra difficult for Jax.]]
* {{Pride}}: Arrogance is his flaw, causing his mistakes; he knows it and is ashamed of it.
* TheProfessor: And literally addressed as such, too.
* PsychicLink: Once fused with someone as Firestorm, he shares this with them regardless.
* QuicklyDemotedLeader: He assumes the mantle of the Legends' leader after Rip's disappearance. However, he soon feels that he's unsuited for the job, so he gracefully gives the mantle to Sara.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: [[spoiler: Killed off in ''Crisis on Earth-X'' so his actor could return to Broadway]].
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Even when he's not in Firestorm mode, he is [[RadiationImmuneMutants almost immune to radiation.]] He can even take an unshielded thermonuclear core with only a slight dizziness spell.
* {{Retirony}}: [[spoiler: Just when he and Jax found a way to break up Firestorm so Stein could retire as a legend and be with his family, he gets killed during the ''Crisis on Earth-X'' four-parter.]]
* SaltAndPepper: With Jax. He's the Salt of the pair.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Stein's manner of speaking is very florid and sophisticated. It irritates the more straightforward Jax to no end.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:Just when he was about to retire and spend some well-deserved time with his family, he dies.]]
* TheSmartGuy: He is a world-renowned scientist. He and Ray also share the role of their team's resident scientists.
* StaticCharacter: DiscussedTrope. After seeing his past self he's afraid for 60 years of life he hasn't matured at all. Jax assures him this isn't true, and he does in fact go through some CharacterDevelopment.
* TheStoner: Back in college, he got up to it as much as anyone else in the '70s.
* SurvivorGuilt: He tells Ray the reason he is so hard on Jax is because he still feels guilty for Ronnie supposedly DyingAlone when they made the HeroicSacrifice to close the wormhole
* TeamDad: After Eobard Thawne is outed, Team Flash is left without a lead experienced scientist until he returns for the Season One finale. He continues serving in this role in the early episode of Season Two before he leaves to train Jax as the new Firestorm.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: PlayedForLaughs. Stein is briefly made Captain due to Rex Tyler presuming he was due to his senior age. When Jax calls him Grey, Stein says "That's Captain Grey to you."
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:With his first partner, Ronnie Raymond. Caitlin even tells him at his grave to greet Ronnie for her]].
* TookALevelInBadass: From mostly a NonActionGuy while not merged, he gradually becomes an at least fairly competent ActionSurvivor in time.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He has learned to love pizza due to being fused with Ronnie for 14 months. [[DoesNotLikeSpam He hated it before.]]
* {{Transplant}}: He was a major key character on the first season of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' and a RecurringCharacter in the second before becoming a member of Rip Hunter's team.
* TrappedInThePast: He and Jax get trapped in the Medieval Era after Rip time scatters the team during the Season Two premiere.
* VerbalTic: Has a very formal way of addressing people, always by their title and surname (Ms. Lance, Captain Hunter, Dr. Palmer) rather than by their first name. He also eschews nicknames, addressing Ronnie and Jax as Ronald and Jefferson, much to their consternation at first.
* WhatTheHellHero: Stein drugged Jax and forced him on the trip, which Jax is understandably not terribly pleased about. However, it's later implied that [[StableTimeLoop Jax's own future self was the one who gave him the idea in the first place]].
* WineIsClassy: In "The Nuclear Man", he mentions a fondness for Chateau Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan 1982. And in "Legion of Doom", when Jax asks if he's [[INeedAFreakingDrink drinking coffee mixed with whiskey]], Stein retorts:
--->'''Stein''': [[DontBeRidiculous Of course it's not whiskey!]] [[BaitAndSwitch It's brandy.]] What do you take me for, a sailor?
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Played with. His quick thinking and actions in both parts of the pilot earn most of the team's approval, but especially Mick Rory's -- he doesn't quite know how to handle that yet.
-->'''Mick''': Whatever you roofied him with, I'd like some.\\
'''Stein''': I did not roofie him!\\
'''Mick''': Oh, I ain't judging.
** Later, when they infiltrate an arms dealing warehouse and Stein's [[LargeHam grandstanding with the bouncer]] prompts Mick to say the following. Noticeably, he [[OddFriendship is less annoyed about this]].
--->'''Mick:''' You're a special kind of crazy. I like it.

Caitlin's deceased fiancé, and the head engineer for the particle accelerator. He died the night it malfunctioned, giving his life in order to prevent the entire building from being destroyed. It is revealed he is actually alive, but the dark matter wave had merged him with Prof. Martin Stein and had become the host body for the Firestorm Matrix.
Due to the two being's confusion and inability to operate cohesively, the meta-human "the Burning Man" became erratic and dangerous, until [[TheTeam Team Flash]] provided them with a solution to stop fighting their merging and a way to control the Matrix, the two became the hero known as Firestorm, and Ronnie happily reunited with Caitlin, and the two eventually married. In Season Two, Ronnie gives his life to save Central City by closing the Singularity, but Stein survives.
-> see the Characters/ArrowverseMetahumans page for more on the Firestorm entity
-> see the Characters/ArrowverseEarth2 page to see Earth-2 Ronnie
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Ronnie's intelligence in the comics is nothing to write home about. He's even BookDumb by his own admission. Here he's the head engineer of the particle accelerator and the one who adjusts it to minimize the damage it would have done.
* AgeLift: Ronnie is traditionally a teenager when he becomes the superhero Firestorm; here, he's roughly in his mid-to-late twenties.
* AlliterativeName: '''R'''onnie '''R'''aymond.
* AndIMustScream: How he describes his initial situation with Stein. Cisco asks him what it's like to have those powers, except Ronnie complains that he'd be enjoying every minute of it, if he were actually ''in control''. Thankfully, their situation is remedied by the end of the two-parter where they return, and while Ronnie is in primary control of the body, Stein communicates to him as a mental voice.
* AndStarring: Was credited as a "Special Guest Star" only in the penultimate episode of Season 1. In the SeasonFinale, he reverts back to the regular guest star lineup. Season 2 permanently restores him to the "Special Guest Star" citation.
* BadassNormal: When cornered by the military, and the Flash got incapacitated by a TrickBomb, Ronnie socks Eiling hard enough to topple him and help the Flash into the S.T.A.R van.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ronnie is an overall decent fellow, but Cisco mentions that Ronnie is dreadful when furious and stressed-out.
* CameBackWrong: Seems so at first, though it's eventually revealed it's actually Martin Stein in Ronnie's body.
* CynicismCatalyst: For Caitlin.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: For Deathstorm. Deathstorm doesn't know about him per se (due to also dying), but Ronnie's death was used by Cisco to get on the good graces of Killer Frost, Caitlin's Earth-2 AlternateSelf who is [[InSpiteOfANail also Deathstorm's wife]].
* DoNotCallMePaul: Does not like being called Ronald.
* TheEngineer: The head engineer of S.T.A.R. Labs prior to the Particle Accelerator explosion.
* FireIceDuo: Downplayed with Caitlin, as they never had their respective elemental powers ''together''. When Ronnie became one half of Firestorm, Caitlin had yet to develop ice powers. By the time Caitlin became Killer Frost, Ronnie was long since dead. However they did match the trope personality wise with Ronnie once describing them as being "like fire and ice."
* FusionDance: He is Stein's original partner as Firestorm, serving as the host body.
* HeroicSacrifice: He went inside the accelerator in order to manually redirect the explosion, and made Cisco close the blast doors in two minutes in case he didn't get back in time. He didn't make it back in time. Happens again in the beginning of Season 2, where he shuts down the wormhole by going into the middle of it as Firestorm and the separating. Professor Stein makes it back, but he does not.
* HotScientist: He's smart enough at engineering to help design the accelerator. He's also ''extremely'' attractive. Not so much immediately after coming back, but HeCleansUpNicely again by "The Nuclear Man".
* IconicSequelCharacter: Introduced to the Series/{{Arrowverse}} during its third year.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Immediately after being separated from Prof. Stein after their initial (and unwilling) FusionDance, he asked Caitlin to move away from Central City with him to have a normal life. Realizing that Eilling will continue to hunt him and Stein (who was eventually captured) down for the F.I.R.S.T.O.R.M matrix as well as being inspired by Barry, he finally accepted his (and Stein's) condition.
* InSpiteOfANail: Despite Barry creating three {{Cosmic Retcon}}s after his death, he still ends up dead in two of it. It's unclear what happened to him during the Flashpoint timeline.
* LegallyDead: Twice. First when he's been missing for over a year. The second happened only a few months after coming back. Both times, [[NeverFoundTheBody his body was never found]], and everyone considers him dead after the second.
* LooksLikeJesus: After he CameBackWrong.
* TheLostLenore:
** To Caitlin. Double subverted in that he was revealed to have survived the particle accelerator explosion, but later never made it out of the singularity.
** Martin Stein never gotten over his supposed death either, and he was very hard on Jax, Ronnie's successor, on fear of losing him like he lost Ronnie.
* NeverFoundTheBody:
** A given, since he was vaporized by the particle accelerator explosion. Except he wasn't; TheStinger for "Flash vs. Arrow" reveals that he's still alive, and acquired the abilities of his [[ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} comics counterpart.]]
** And again in "The Man Who Saved Central City", where he apparently was lost when he and Professor Stein de-fused in order to destroy the singularity.
* OppositesAttract: He was warm and jolly, she was cool and logical. They brought out each other's best, and he even referred to the two of them as "fire and ice".
* PosthumousCharacter: Killed in the accelerator explosion. Psych -- he actually survived and has become a metahuman.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
** Inverted with [[Series/{{Arrow}} Felicity Smoak]]. In the source material, she's his stepmother. Here, they don't even know each other personally (yet).
** Played straight with Caitlin, whom he marries in the Season 1 Finale. In the comics, they're enemies (though not without FoeRomanticSubtext, especially on the latter's part).
* SecretKeeper: Upon being calmed down shortly before his and Prof. Stein's initial separation, he/they becomes aware of Barry's identity as The Flash.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He's 5'11.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: Invoked by Caitlin after Stein's death by telling the latter to say hi to him on her behalf.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: More than a few jokes are made about his love for pizza.
* TwoFirstNames: Being a Creator/DCComics based character, he has a last name that is traditionally used as a first name.

A car mechanic and former collegiate athlete [[CareerEndingInjury whose career came to a scratching halt]] after the Particle Accelerator exploded. After Ronnie sacrificed himself to save Central City, Professor Stein began to die without having another partner to fuse with. Initially reluctant at first, Jax ultimately accepted to be his new "co-pilot".

-> see the Characters/ArrowverseFutureCharacters page for specific info on his counterpart from the 2020's
----
* AbledInTheAdaptation: Or disabled. The comicbook version of Jax is never mentioned to have an injury, whereas this version's backstory is built around his CareerEndingInjury.
* AcademicAthlete: Former high school football player who had a 4.0 grade average at school and could've apply for an academic scholarship.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, he's merely Ronnie's football teammate and BlackBestFriend. Here, he is his successor as Firestorm.
* AgeLift: Like Ronnie, he's traditionally a teenager. Here, he's in his early twenties while Ronnie is more or less almost a decade older than him.
* AlliterativeName: '''J'''effer'''son''' "'''J'''ax" '''J'''ack'''son'''.
* AscendedExtra: In the comics, Jax is merely Ronnie's BlackBestFriend. Here, he's Ronnie's successor.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: He's the youngest member of the cast, both InUniverse and out. The other Legends treat him like a little brother or a son.
* BadassAndChildDuo: Averted slightly with Stein.
* BadassNormal: It's easy to forget the guy used to be a football player, which means that even on his own he has no problem tackling {{Mooks}} and beating the stuffing out of them.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He was ready to ''execute'' a brainwashed Rip after seeing him kill Sara. It took a revived Sara quite a bit of effort to talk him out of killing Rip.
* TheBigGuy: Aside from [[StoryBreakerPower Firestorm]], Jax is also a former athlete and a BadassNormal more than capable of holding his own in a fight.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:After Stein's death, he no longer can transform into Firestorm. [[BroughtDownToBadass That doesn't mean however that he can't still kick some serious ass.]]]]
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:He decides to leave the Legends now that Stein is dead and he can't turn into Firestorm.]]
* CareerEndingInjury: He saved a student on crutches who couldn't get away during the night the Particle Accelerator exploded, at the cost of an injury that derailed his promising football career and cost him his chance to go to college. It would be an understatement to say he's more than a little bitter about it. It also almost cost him his life when he ran to save Stein from Volstok.
* CompositeCharacter:
** He exists in the comics, but his role as the second Firestorm and Ronnie's successor originally belongs to Jason Rusch ([[DecompositeCharacter who already appeared in Season One]] of ''The Flash'').
** Furthermore, his personality and status as a jock are aspects taken from Ronnie Raymond, whose Arrowverse counterpart has a case of AdaptationalIntelligence and was a renowned engineer before his death.
* DeadpanSnarker: Pretty often.
-->'''Stein:''' It couldn't have been so easy for Raymond either, I mean...give up being the Atom?
-->'''Kendra:''' I'm sorry, can we have a private moment?
-->'''Jax:''' I think we ''all'' wish you would've had this moment in private.
* DisappearedDad: He never knew his father, who was killed in action shortly after Jax was born. He finally meets him near the end of ''Legends of Tomorrow'' Season One.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Made a guest appearance in ''The Flash'' months before the ;;Legends'' series premiere.
* TheEngineer: Of the Waverider; he is trained by Rip to be its main mechanic.
* FlyingFirepower: Part of his abilities as the host body of Firestorm.
* FusionDance: With Prof. Stein in order to become Firestorm.
* GeniusBruiser: Back in the Flash, it was mentioned that he had a 4.0 grade average at school and could apply for an academic scholarship. On this show, he puts his smarts to work by fixing the Waverider and is also the one who helps Ray engineer a method to make him a giant.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Jax and Stein, although they have the occasional rough patch, are extremely close.
* HiddenDepths: He and Nate do a FistBump over their mutual appreciation of [[Creator/IanFleming Ian Fleming's]][[Literature/JamesBond novels]].
* IconicSequelCharacter: Does not appear in until ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season Two.
* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Beats himself up over Stein's death, as he convinced him to stick around more before retiring.]]
* KidnappedByTheCall: When he refuses to come on the mission, Stein kidnaps him onto Rip's timeship.
* TheLancer: In ''Legends'' Season Two he becomes this to Sara. He is usually found following her around and backing her play. When she becomes wounded in episode eleven she leaves him in charge.
* LeeroyJenkins: He ignores Stein and gets in trouble.
* LegacyCharacter: Succeeded Ronnie as the new Firestorm.
* LikeASonToMe: How Stein sees him. [[spoiler:Jax takes it REALLY hard when Stein loses his life.]]
* LovableJock: He saved a crippled student during the Particle Accelerator explosion at the cost of his promising football career.
* MilitaryBrat: His late father was in the U.S. Army.
* MrFixIt: He was an auto-mechanic, and Rip assigned him as the go-to guy on repairing the Waverider [[NotThatKindOfDoctor despite it not being his specialty]]. Good thing Jax reads instruction manuals.
* NiceGuy: He's a friendly and helpful guy by nature, and he loves being part of a team, whether it's football or superheroes (once he gets used to the idea of traveling through time on a dangerous mission, anyway).
* TheNicknamer: Shows a tendency for this, referring to Martin as "Grey" and calling a racist bully in TheFifties "[[Film/BackToTheFuture Biff]]".
* TheNotLoveInterest: Jax is the most important person to Stein among the crew.
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: Rip asks him to fix the Waverider due to being a mechanic. Jax quickly reasons that he is an ''auto''-mechanic.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He's simply referred to as "Jax" to most of the team.
* OnlySaneMan: He's by far the most normal Legend, having not been an assassin, time traveller, criminal, or genius scientist or inventor. When everyone else is debating over whether they should kill Per Degaton or just dump him in a random time period, Jax is the one who suggests just talking to the kid instead.
* PsychicLink: Like what Ronnie had, Jax also shares a link with Stein due to them fusing together.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: After dealing with Stein's death, Jax decides to go on a sabbatical.]]
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Inverted. In the comics, he's Ronnie's BlackBestFriend. Here, they don't know each other and he's merely his successor.
* ReluctantHero: He's very reluctant about the idea of being a superhero, and even after that he's reluctant about the idea of helping Rip Hunter chase Vandal Savage through time. Stein actually ends up kidnapping him because he wouldn't willingly go.
* SaltAndPepper: With Prof. Stein. He's the Pepper of the pair.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: He never appeared in the teaser trailer in order to avoid spoiling Ronnie's death before it was revealed in the Season Two premiere of ''Series/TheFlash2014''.
* TheSmartGuy: He's TheEngineer as opposed to the scientists like Ray and Martin, or the historian like Nate.
* SupportingLeader: Sara temporarily puts him in charge when she's out of commission.
* TagalongKid: While he is an adult, he's the youngest member discounting Rip (who's from the future), [[KidnappedByTheCall though he didn't "tag along" of his own free will]] until the end of the first episode.
* TeamSpirit: Self-admitted.
-->'''Jax:''' [to Stein] I love being part of a team, man.
* TeamDad: Hilariously despite being the youngest of the group. In Season Two he ends up being this. When Sara ends up playing {{TeamMom}} Jax is right behind her giving the misbehaving team members, most likely [[LovableNerd Ray and Nate]] a disapproving eye. If she's not the one trying to sort out the team family like squabbles its Jax.
* TokenMinority: He shares this trope with Kendra Saunders and later Amaya.
* TookALevelInBadass: He is clearly getting the hang of being Firestorm much better compared to when he first started. Also even without fusion, he is found always ready for a fight.
* {{Transplant}}: He made his debut in ''The Flash'' before becoming a main cast member of ''Legends'' in his subsequent appearances.
* TrappedInThePast: He and Stein were trapped in the Medieval Era after Rip time-scattered the team during the ''Legends'' Season Two premiere.
* TwoFirstNames: Jefferson Jackson, what else?

!!! '''Species''': Enhanced Human[[note]]Composed of two individuals[[/note]]
->'''Known Aliases:''' Firestorm III, Soviet Firestorm
->'''Played By:''' Stephanie Corneliussen (body) and Creator/VictorGarber (mind)
->'''Appearances:''' ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''
After witnessing Firestorm II in action during 1975, Vandal Savage hired Soviet scientist Valentina Vostok sometime between that year and 1986. They began creating their very own version of Firestorm, having had 10 years to research his abilities before Rip Hunter reappeared. The project to create Firestorm was dubbed "Operation Svarog", in honor of an ancient Slavic god of fire.
-> see the Characters/ArrowverseVandalSavageAndFollowers page for more on Valentina Vostok
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Vostok is usually a hero in the comics.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Her host body is very rigid even before her forced FusionDance with Stein.
* CompositeCharacter: {{Pun}}s aside, the Soviet Firestorm in the comics is Mikhail Arkadin ([[DecompositeCharacter who already appears as her ally]]), while Valentina Vostok is the Negative Woman.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The forced FusionDance between her two components is literally forcing someone to be inside of you.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: AvertedTrope. The way she talks about merging with Stein, and how she forces him to do it, brings to mind a form of rape, and it is most definitely ''not'' okay.
* EvilIsBurningHot: A fire based supervillain.
* EvilKnockoff: Her host body is ordered to create a version of Firestorm after her boss witness Jax and Stein in action.
* GenderFlip: The Soviet Firestorm in the comics is male. [[DecompositeCharacter Said male character appears, though.]]
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Forces Stein into a FusionDance despite his warning of the dangers of doing it without wearing a Quantum Splicer (as was the case during Stein and Ronnie's initial merge). The move literally blew up on her face (along the rest of her body) when Jax pulls out Prof. Stein out of her.
* HowDoIShotWeb: She has little control of her powers, and Stein certainly doesn't want to give her some pointers.
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: A literal example. Jax calls out to Prof. Stein repeatedly during The Legends' fight with her, which succeeds.
* SensualSlavs: A literally and figuratively hot Russian.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: She's very smug and hostile and also the tallest (5'11) woman on Earth-1 to date.
* UnskilledButStrong: She is able to produce fire much stronger than both the Ronnie and Jax versions, but has little control of her powers.
