One shot scene cut from the “Flash” season finale involved Firestorm turning a thermometer into a daffodil.
In the comic books Firestorm can turn anything into anything else, making him one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe, but as yet we’ve not seen him demonstrate this ability.
The CW Firestorm demonstrated last season that he can fly and bombard enemies with fireballs.
Will we see Firestorm employ this power in the coming seasons of “The Flash,” “Arrow,” “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” or “Supergirl”? Robbie Amell, who plays the character, explains to Screenrant:
"The sad thing is there was a moment in the finale that had to be cut out – just because it was such a massive episode and it didn’t actually have anything to do with plot – where they introduced matter manipulation. There’s a scene where Danielle [Panabaker]’s character is checking my temperature and giving me the once-over. I call Victor in the room and we merge, and I turn her thermometer into a daffodil. It was just like a really nice, sweet way of showing… because she’s asking if we’re going to be OK, and I’m like, “Actually, we’re getting pretty good at this whole Firestorm thing.” And we merge without even missing a beat and turn that into a flower. It was a nice moment, but ultimately it just didn’t hold any bearing on the plot."So, matter manipulation I’m sure will be reintroduced, or maybe it will be available on the DVD director’s cut of the episode. But there’s so much they can do with this character. My biggest fear with the character was that he was too powerful. I think that sometimes that can be an issue. I feel like that’s the only problem I ever have with the Superman comic book, is other than kryptonite, how do you stop this guy? But they’ve done an unbelievable job."
