ReplyDeleteFun show, gentlemen... as usual.
ReplyDeleteRob, I believe the paper in question is called Crafttint duotone art board. It involves using two different "developer chemicals" to make the two different sets of vertical lines visible. I've used Crafttint during my final years as a Manhua (Hong Kong comic book) background artist, myself. One can get great effects with this board once one obtains the hang of it.
Shag, there have been instances where injury to "Blank Slate" Firestorm has resulted in similar injuries to the composite identities (the cut from the Guyv... I mean Zuggernaut in Firestorm #69 comes to mind), and the Martin Stein elemental Firestorm has reformed a cut-off arm in Firestorm #100. But I do not recall any instances of the "cuh-LASSic" Firestorm physically affecting the composite identities, only the other way around (e.g., the Professor without glasses affects Firestorm's vision in Fury of Firestorm #7, an unconscious Ronnie Raymond allows Stein to control Firestorm in The Flash #298-299, Stein's brain tumor causes Firestorm to have seizures in Firestorm #62 and #63, and of course, Ronnie's Hyena attack affects the Nuclear Man in this storyline).
As for the question of Firestorm having super-strength: Firestorm is essentially a living fusion reactor, and thus must have a body tough enough to contain such energy. And we all know what a tough body does for Aquaman...
Just a thought. Continue the great work gentlemen.
Best,
