The CW and executive producer Greg Berlanti have announced that Robbie Amell will portray the comic book superhero Firestorm in the third episode of 'The Flash'.
In the comics, Ronnie Raymond gains nuclear powers after exposure to an exploding nuclear reactor. In 'The Flash', Ronnie is the fiancé of S.T.A.R. Labs scientist and Flash ally Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker).
Since the cancellation of 'The Tomorrow People', Amell has been filming theatrical films 'The Duff' and 'Max'.
I thought Firestorm was the female alien(?) redhead from the Teen Titans. I need to brush up on my comic whoswhoz :)
