The Firestorm Scene That Got Cut From The Flash Finale

Fans of the comics who watched the first season of the Flash may have wondered when Firestorm would get the rest of his powers. Specifically the matter manipulation ability. Well, it turns out that the character played by Robbie Amell and technically Victor Graber, already filmed a scene using that ability for the finale but as Amell explains to Screen Rant…

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.

The future for Ronnie Raymond seems a bit cloudy since he doesn't appear to be in any of the clips for DC's Legends of Tomorrow nor has Amell been announced as part of the cast where Martin Stein / Graber has been. Thought Graber has said that they both will appear in the new season of The Flash… so what happens to the newly married Ronnie between the fall and January's debut of Legends? And will it have an effect on his new bride Caitlin Snow… maybe a Killer Frost effect?
