More Legends of Tomorrow stuff. This time Firestorm: equal parts Martin Stein and Jefferson Jackson. The show gives the two of them this neat little "High-Five of Power" that sounds corny but actually looks pretty cool on screen. Stein is another of my favorites on the show. While he can come across as a stuffy, arrogant, intellectual he has a strong moral center that is tempered by experience and a rational, analytical mind.
Jax took me a little longer to warm up to but I think over the course of two seasons his character has really developed well, from "Tag Along Kid" to valued team member. He's the ship's mechanic, as well as the physical half of Firestorm. Strong willed and blunt but very team oriented he's the perfect counterpart to Stein.
The Firestorm costume is hard to draw and anyway they only wear it when they are fused. So I put them in slightly unoriginal street clothes. I went mostly from memory and while I think I got Stein right, Jax looks a little 1950's "Aw Shucks!" to me. It seems like he only had the ear stud in one promotional image but I added it to try and counter that.
