!!Host Bodies

[[folder:Martin Stein]]
[[quoteright:331:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/martin_stein_c.jpg]]

* CoolOldGuy: Commonly depicted as a benevolent mentor to his partners/fellow host bodies.
* DeathIsCheap:
** He's killed during ''Brightest Day'' by Black Lantern Firestorm.
** According to the start of the ''New 52'' run, he's dead before the story begins, but soon it turns out he's not entirely dead, and he's back in the living soon after.
* MarriedToTheJob: It got so bad that his wife divorced him.
* NonActionGuy: He's a scientist and is never the host body for Firestorm.
* {{Retcon}}: ''ComicBook/DoomsdayClock'' claims [[spoiler:he was actually a government plant all along, becoming Firestorm included.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ronnie Raymond]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ronnie_raymond.jpg]]

* AlliterativeName: '''R'''onald '''R'''oy '''R'''aymond.
* AnArmAndALeg: During ''The Fury of Firestorm'', he loses an arm at one point. He eventually manages to get it back.

* DumbJock: A high school American Football player who is not very bright.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: In ''Doomsday Clock'', thanks to a mix of Ronnie's powers apparently going off and turning an entire crowd of people to glass, anti-metahuman suspicion, and Ronnie's behaviour whenever caught on camera making him come across as a raving lunatic.
* LovableJock: Despite his DumbJock status above, his heart is in the right place.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Commonly depicted as such.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Jason, after his resurrection, and in ''The Fury of Firestorm''. The former because Jason unfairly blames Ronnie for what the Black Lantern Firestorm did to Gehenna. In the later, it's just because, and they do eventually manage to get over it... mostly.
* TwoFirstNames: His last name could easily pass as his second given name.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Jason Rusch]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jason_rusch.jpg]]

* AcademicAthlete: DependingOnTheWriter, he's also a varsity player in addition to a scholar.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: He is Ronnie's African-American successor.

* BadassBookworm: A scholar and a varsity player, DependingOnTheWriter.

!!Allies

[[folder:Felicity Smoak]]
[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/felicitysmoakcomics2.jpg]]

* HandOrObjectUnderwear: When Firestorm transmutes her clothes into soap suds.
* {{Muggle}}
* PutOnABus: She gets transplanted over to the cast of ''Green Arrow'' after the ''New 52'' reboot.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Firehawk]]
!!Firehawk / Lorraine Reilly

* CostumeEvolution: Started off in a purple [=/=] orange number. During ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'', it got shredded. Fortunately, she used her powers to instantly fix that, switching to a blue [=/=] gold number, which she's stuck with since.
* FlamingHair: Same as Firestorm, though she can change the color. It started off orange, then later switched to blue. Also, apparently, it doesn't generate as much heat as you'd think, since she once had to reassure Martian Manhunter (who is vulnerable to fire) that it wasn't a threat to him.
* FlyingFirepower
* HumanGuineaPig: Experimented on in an attempt to recreate Firestorm's powers. It worked.
* IntangibleMan: One of her powers.
* {{Retgone}}: Another victim of the big ''Flashpoint'' erasure, though she returned with ''Doomsday Clock''.
* RetiredBadass: She quit around the time of Ronnie's death, though she took up superheroing again when Jason started up.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Firehawk II]]

* CaptainGeographic: She's the Firestorm of France.
* FlamingHair: Blue, in her case.
* FlyingFirepower: The basic Firestorm powerset of flying and generating flame.
* FusionDance: An entirely unwilling one between her and Jason produces Scorn.
* InNameOnly: She shares a codename and some of the look of Lorraine, but has no connection to her otherwise.
* MysteriousPast: She appears in four issues, which doesn't give any indication as to her backstory. In fact, she doesn't even get a second name. Her first is Theresa, and that's the sum total the audience learns about her.
* NiceGal: She's generally pretty nice and easily forgiving. No case of FrenchJerk to be found here. The most worst said about her is being exasperated by Jason's impetuous actions trying to save Ronnie.
* PoirotSpeak: You can tell she's French because she alternates between English and French.
* SlasherSmile: The last time she's seen, she's sporting one of these, as she's about to go critical in front of Zither...
* TakingYouWithMe: Supposedly killed by Wrath, the merged form of Pozhar and Ronnie, she soon reforms right in front of Zither, who had tried to kill all the Zithertech Firestorms, just as her matrix is going critical.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: First appears in ''The Fury of Firestorm'' issue 9, and dies (''maybe'') in issue 12. Hasn't been seen since, and given Lorranie's been returned to continuity, chances are she won't reappear.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Gehenna]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gehenna_002.jpg]]

* CollateralAngst: In ''Blackest Night'', she's killed so Jason can angst and have a reason not to work with Ronnie.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Her death's something out of a horror movie - turned into ''salt'' while screaming to Jason that she loves him, then her heart's punched out.
* DyingToBeReplaced: Dies horrifically just so Ronnie can take her place in the Firestorm team-up.
* GirlishPigtails: Her hairstyle.
* OnlyOneName: She doesn't have a last name, although she was referred to as "Ms. Hewitt".
* {{Teleportation}}: She can teleport to certain distances.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mikhail Arkadin / Pozhar]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2161256_pozhar.jpg]]
* AscendedExtra: He plays an unexpectedly large role in ''ComicBook/DoomsdayClock'', the crossover event story with the ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' universe.
* BadassFamily: His niece Serafina Arkadina/Firebird is also a member of Russia's hero team the People's Heroes.
* CaptainPatriotic: He is fiercely loyal to Mother Russia, bordering on MyCountryRightOrWrong.
* LanguageBarrier: It's not normally a problem because the Firestorm Matrix allows telepathic communication, but when he and Ronnie finally meet face-to-face, they run into a roadblock because he can't speak English and Ronnie can't speak Russian.
* PapaWolf: Is devoted to his family.
* TransatlanticEquivalent: InUniverse, he is Firestorm's rather more unhinged Russian counterpart. He became part of the Firestorm Matrix after accidentally fusing with Jason Rusch.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His ''Fury of Firestorm'' incarnation is determined to prevent wild Firestorms going rogue and causing devastation, and he's prepared to do ''anything'' for that.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Enforcer]]
!!Leroy Merkyn
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leroy_merkyn_new_earth_001.jpg]]

----
* HiredGun: He was hired by Tokamak to fight Firestorm.

!!Mica Love
[[quoteright:251:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mica_love.jpg]]
Mica Love was a hired mercenary and the second of such individuals to assume the guise of the Enforcer. The Enforcer, as well as her predecessor Leroy Merkyn, worked for the 2000 Committee under industrialist Henry Hewitt. Hewitt had the Enforcers abduct U.S. senator Walter Reilly and his teenage daughter, Lorraine.
----
* CListFodder: She lasted longer than her predecessor, but not by much, being killed off on the Suicide Squad in the early nineties.
* HiredGun: Much like her predecessor, she was mostly a mercenary.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Goldenrod]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goldenrod_jpg.jpg]]

Frederick Delmar, aka Goldenrod is an enemy of Firestorm with plant-related powers.
----
* DeathOfPersonality: Realizing that he could no longer continue to exist as he was, he chose to remove his physical form, transforming into a free-floating cloud of pollen. Goldenrod's dispersed molecules blew away into the night wind.
* KilledOffForReal: His human personality died at the end of his only appearance and has never been brought back.
* PlantPerson: Was turned into a humanoid plant after being exposed to some experimental drugs.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Hyena]]
* HeinousHyena: A dangerous humanoid hyena (even if they don't look like one).
* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: A were-hyena that looks more like a werewolf.

!!Summer Day
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/summer_day_01.jpg]]
The first Hyena, Summer Day, joined the Peace Corps as a result of relational issues with her father and was turned into a werehyena as a result of an accident in Africa. Taking the name the Hyena, Summer returned to America and began attacking both criminals and police officers. A result of her condition is a steadily progressing madness.
----
* AntiVillain: She isn't really evil, just completely wild and unpredictable. Although she will assault the cops or heroes for no apparent reason, she is likely to attack the common criminals just as well, since she actively hates them. And when Firestorm gets afflicted with her curse, she is willing to help him find a cure.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: She is supposed to be a [[HalfHumanHybrid humanoid hyena hybrid]], but bears no similarities to actual hyena, looking more like a standard werewolf, albeit with penchant to [[TheHyena laugh all the time]]. Oddly enough, her very first appearance was slightly closer to the source material.
* CurbStompBattle: Her initial incarnation used to dish these out to Firestorm like candy. During their first fight, he was unable to land a single hit on her, while Hyena was beating him up without much effort. He only managed to save his neck by bringing down an electric pylon ([[LookBehindYou behind her back]]) onto her.
* DemotedToExtra: Started out as one of the most prominent and dangerous Firestorm's enemies, but got pushed to the background and nearly forgotten rather quickly, having only few very short cameos here and there. Eventually, she was killed ([[DroppedABridgeOnHim rather unceremoniously]]) by Deadshot during one such cameo.
** Her New 52 incarnation is even more egregious in that regard, being a [[FlatCharacter cardboard character]] with basically no personality nor [[TragicVillain redeeming qualities]].
* EnemyMine: Strikes an alliance with Firestorm when he and Summer's lover Jivan Shi are infected with Hyena's curse. She even [[BigDamnHeroes saves the former one's life]] when he is about to be killed by the latter.
* LightningBruiser: The main reason why she usually wins one-on-one fights against Firestorm (or at least she [[MonsterThreatExpiration used to]]) is her speed. She easily dodges his ranged attacks and he is no match for her in close combat (when he tried to fire his energy beam point-blank at her, she just grabbed him by the wrist and yanked his arm, redirecting the beam elsewhere). Apart from that, Hyena is also quite durable (bringing down an electric pylon onto her mentioned above only served to temporarily knock her out) and according to Firestorm himself, she has a "wallop like a wrecking ball".
* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Everything about her screams werewolf, except for the fact that she is a hyena.
* TragicVillain: She has no control over her transformation, and the whole reason she got stuck with her curse in the first place was because she tried to help a wounded warrior, and had shown zero signs of corruption prior to that event.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: The curse of the werehyena causes anyone suffering it to gradually go insane. It is theorised that the madness suffered by the werehyenas is one's bestial side taking over, coupled with an exaggeration of negative emotions.

!!Jivan Shi
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jivan_shi_01.png]]
The second Hyena, Doctor Jivan Shi, was a psychiatrist whom Summer Day had fallen in love with while he was attempting to treat her werehyena condition. One night, as Summer and Jivan were embracing, Summer transformed into the Hyena and infected Jivan with the werehyena curse. Professor Stein noted that being the Hyena seemed to have warped Jivan Shi's mind.
----
* CListFodder: He is one of the many villains that was killed off in Salvation Run.
* ShoutOut: His name is one to the French faschion house [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Givenchy Givenchy]] (the English prponounciation of ''Jivan Shi'' is nearly identical to the French pronounciation of ''Givenchy'').
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: The curse of the werehyena causes anyone suffering it to gradually go insane. It is theorized that the madness suffered by the werehyenas is one's bestial side taking over, coupled with an exaggeration of negative emotions.

[[folder:Killer Frost I - III]]

Killer Frost is a legacy super-villain name with ice powers. The name was originally used by Crystal Frost, a Hudson University student who angrily hated men. Her successor was Louise Lincoln, a friend who took up the mantle after her death. After the New 52 relaunch, Caitlin Snow was introduced as the first to take the name in the new timeline. A scientist at S.T.A.R. Labs, she was transformed during an attempt to save herself from H.I.V.E. agents.

!!Tropes Common to all Killer Frosts

* AbortedArc: ''The Fury of Firestorm'' begins with a Zithertech agent called Doctor Loren Fortier, who's caught in the blast of Ronnie and Jason first becoming Firestorm, and is shown to start freezing everything around her while turning blue. Then the writers change (several times) and Fortier is forgotten. Dan Jurgens's run introduces Caitlin Snow as Killer Frost instead.
* BreakoutVillain: Killer Frost has proven popular enough with fans and writers that she has been used in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', as well as several video games and animated movies. The kicker? She appeared in most of these WITHOUT Firestorm. The only adaptations she appeared in that also included Firestorm were ''The Brave and the Bold'', ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'', and ''Series/TheFlash2014''.
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: Her first incarnation was a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds, but the second one was completely AxeCrazy.
* FireIceDuo: She and Firestorm serve as the TropeCodifier.
** The first Killer Frost became one of Firestorm's first foes, wanting revenge on the world and especially against Firestorm, eventually becoming his ArchEnemy. Even though there's two Firestorms out there (Ronnie Raymond and Jason Rusch) and three-four different incarnations of Killer Frost, the ArchEnemy relationship between the various incarnations of their characters has always been present.
** A strange version of this happens on ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', where Killer Frost suffers a temporary amnesia and [[AmnesiacVillainJoinsTheHeroes helps the heroes commanded by the Monitor]] and even [[VillainousCrush falls in love with Firestorm]] (to his [[UnwantedHarem surprise AND dislike]]).
* AnIcePerson: All versions of Killer Frost have the ability to absorb heat from external sources and transmute it into waves of cold. Using these powers, they can create an ice-sheen across her entire body that grants her increased durability, cause intense blizzards that can instantly freeze the target and generate objects composed completely of ice, such as projectiles in the form of ice shards and defensive walls or shields. She can also instantly freeze animate matter through physical contact, and is unable to touch a normal person without freezing them.
* KillItWithFire: Averted. Contrary to others who share her power set, heat did little damage to Killer Frost. In fact, heat was essential to her continued existence. Attacking Killer Frost with a heat based-weapon would only serve to strengthen her.
* KissOfDeath: A favored tactic of hers is to kiss men and absorb their heat/freeze them from the inside.
* LegacyCharacter: There have been no less than three incarnations of Killer Frost, the second of whom explicitly took up the identity as a tribute to the first.
* MsFanservice: Their supervillain outfits are very revealing and/or form-fitting.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Two incarnations have Frost and Snow as surnames.

* HotForTeacher: When Crystal Frost was a student at Hudson University, she fell in love with one of her professors, Martin Stein. Stein however, rejected Frost's affections.
* HotScientist: She was Stein's protege before her FaceHeelTurn.
* KilledOffForReal: She eventually died after she absorbed too much energy from Firestorm.
* SanitySlippage: After found that her powers were slowly killing her, Crystal became even more insane and began terrorizing innocent civilians until she is stopped by Firestorm and dies in the process.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: She retains her last name, Frost, in her super villain identity, since it conveniently matched the ice powers she developed. In point of fact, her whole given name, Crystal Frost, turned out to be very prophetic of her eventual powers.
* StrawFeminist: She has an extreme hatred of men and froze them solid on sight, even her defense attorney. Granted, her male workers did not treat her with much respect, but she did not go crazy until Martin Stein brushed off her advances when she mistook his platonic interest in her for attraction.
* WomanScorned: Rejected by Martin Stein, she was devastated and her low self-esteem eventually developed into a hatred of all men and try to kill Professor Stein multiple times.

!!Louise Lincoln
[[quoteright:289:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killer_frost_ii.jpg]]

* AlliterativeName: '''L'''ouise '''L'''incoln.
* AxCrazy: Louise is an insane super-villain who takes joy in killing people. There has been times where she has killed innocent civilians for no reason, or goes on a rampage in New York to get the Firestorm's attention. She is one of the most psychotic female villains of DC.
* TheBusCameBack: She finally returned to the main continuity during ''Doomsday Clock''.
* ManipulativeBitch: She manipulated the TragicVillain Mr. Freeze into a relationship with her, only for her to reveal that she had never truly loved him and was using him as a pawn the entire time while they were being carted off to prison. In another story from before the Mr. Freeze incident, she discovered that she had contracted cancer, and manipulated the new Firestorm host Jason Rusch into curing it for her, and then went on a rampage, leading to Firestorm reversing the effects as a form of revenge.
* MsFanservice: While all three versions have revealing and/or form-fitting outfits, Louise has the most sexualized look.

!!Caitlin Snow
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killer_frost_iii.jpg]]

* HeelFaceTurn: She reformed during the ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueVsSuicideSquad'' event, and went on to join the Justice League.
* OneWomanArmy: In "Justice League Vs Suicide Squad", Killer Frost takes out the entire Justice League after absorbing the solar energy in Superman's body.
* PairTheSmartOnes: ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmericaRebirth'' paired her with fellow scientist [[ComicBook/TheAtom Ryan Choi]].
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: A woman whose last name is "Snow" ends up becoming AnIcePerson.
* TragicIceCharacter: She was once a brilliant young scientist with a bright future ahead of her and wanted nothing more than to help people. Unfortunately, some of her own coworkers locked her in a thermodynamic machine, intending to kill her. When she emerged, she was unable to generate her own body heat, and now needed to kill others (by freezing them) in order to survive. She becomes a stone-cold supervillain- but all she really wants is to feel warmth again. Thankfully, her story ultimately has a happy ending, as she learns to control her hunger and ends up joining the Justice League of America.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/weasel_john_monroe_0006.jpg]]
The Weasel is John Monroe, a costumed villain and enemy to Firestorm. He was a student of Martin Stein who became a serial killer. The name "Weasel" was inspired by a nickname others had given him. Monroe eventually died on a mission with the ComicBook/SuicideSquad.
----
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: While originally he simply wore a weasel costume, in New 52 he was an actual human-weasel hybrid.
* AppropriatedAppellation: Took the name "Weasel" from the nickname his colleagues gave him.
* AxCrazy: He was unhinged as a Firestorm foe, eager to kill the people he thought endangered his safety. As a Suicide Squad member, he was completely psychotic and eager to kill everything in sight.
* BadassNormal: He was an incredible athlete, keeping one step ahead of Firestorm with his acrobatics despite not having any powers.
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: His victims were his former classmates at Stamford University.
* ImproperlyParanoid: He targeted his victims because they went to Stamford University at the same time as him and he thought they were conspiring to get him fired. By killing them, he'd keep his job and be "safe." In fact, none of his victims remembered him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He was such an unlikable asshole in his student days that his classmates called him a "weasel." He ran with it.
* KilledOffForReal: Died on a mission with the Suicide Squad. Was eventually resurrected as a Black Lantern.
* SerialKiller: Targets Vandermeer University faculty who are alumni of Stanford.
* WickedWeasel: He dresses as a weasel and is a sadistic killer.
* WolverineClaws: Used razor sharp steel claws affixed to his gloves as his WeaponOfChoice.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2135389_zither.png]]
* AdultFear: Her children were killed by Firestorm powers gone wrong, burned beyond all recognition.
* BigBad: For ''The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men''.
* BodyHorror: Her husband, a FlawedPrototype of the Firestorm protocols, burned half her body by accident.
* CreateYourOwnHero: Had she not sent her clean-up crew to find anyone who had Stein's work and kill them, the ''New 52'' version of Firestorm would never have come into existence.
* TwoFaced: Uses a face-mask to hide the scarred left side of her body.

[[folder:Zuggernaut]]
[[quoteright:224:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zuggernaut_2.jpg]]

The Zuggernaut is an alien entity that merges with host beings, much like the Venom symbiote of the Marvel Universe, granting them fantastic powers as long as they are in contact with it.
----
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Arguably one to ComicBook/{{Venom}}.

* ComicBookDeath:
** He's killed during ''Brightest Day'' by Black Lantern Firestorm.
** According to the start of the ''New 52'' run, he's dead before the story begins, but soon it turns out he's not entirely dead, and he's back in the living soon after.

* ComicBookDeath: Stabbed through the chest during ''Identity Crisis'', which kills him. He gets revived at the end of ''Blackest Night''.

[[folder:Gehenna]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gehenna_002.jpg]]

* CollateralAngst: In ''Blackest Night'', she's killed so Jason can angst and have a reason not to work with Ronnie.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Her death's something out of a horror movie - turned into ''salt'' while screaming to Jason that she loves him, then her heart's punched out.
* DyingToBeReplaced: Dies horrifically just so Ronnie can take her place in the Firestorm team-up.
* GirlishPigtails: Her hairstyle.
* OnlyOneName: She doesn't have a last name, although she was referred to as "Ms. Hewitt".
* {{Teleportation}}: She can teleport to certain distances.

[[folder:Mikhail Arkadin / Pozhar]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2161256_pozhar.jpg]]
* AscendedExtra: He plays an unexpectedly large role in ''ComicBook/DoomsdayClock'', the crossover event story with the ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' universe.
* BadassFamily: His niece Serafina Arkadina/Firebird is also a member of Russia's hero team the People's Heroes.
* CaptainPatriotic: He is fiercely loyal to Mother Russia, bordering on MyCountryRightOrWrong.
* LanguageBarrier: It's not normally a problem because the Firestorm Matrix allows telepathic communication, but when he and Ronnie finally meet face-to-face, they run into a roadblock because he can't speak English and Ronnie can't speak Russian.
* PapaWolf: Is devoted to his family.
* TransatlanticEquivalent: InUniverse, he is Firestorm's rather more unhinged Russian counterpart. He became part of the Firestorm Matrix after accidentally fusing with Jason Rusch.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His ''Fury of Firestorm'' incarnation is determined to prevent wild Firestorms going rogue and causing devastation, and he's prepared to do ''anything'' for that.

[[folder:Doreen Day]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doreen_day_new_earth.jpg]]
* AlliterativeName: Like so many characters associated with Firestorm.
* GranolaGirl: Doreen was big into environmental causes.

[[folder:Tonya Lu]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tonya_lu_002.jpg]]
* GayBestFriend: Of Ronnie and Jason.

* BodyHorror: Her husband, a FlawedPrototype of the Firestorm protocals, burned half her body by accident.

* BreakoutVillain: Killer Frost has proven popular enough with fans and writers that she has been used in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', as well as several video games and animated movies. The kicker? She appeared in most of these WITHOUT Firestorm. The only adaptations she appeared in that also included Firestorm were ''The Brave and the Bold'', ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'', and ''Series/TheFlash2014''.

* ''Characters/YoungJusticeMinionsOfTheLight'' [[note]]Crystal Frost / Killer Frost[[/note]]

* StuffedInTheFridge: In ''Blackest Night'', she's killed so Jason can angst and have a reason not to work with Ronnie.

* ShoutOut: His name is one to the French faschion house https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Givenchy (the English prponounciation of ''Jivan Shi'' is nearly identical to the French pronounciation of ''Givenchy'').

[[/folder]]

* OneSteveLimit: His name is very similar to that of Rachel Berkowitz, who goes by Blackstarr.

** A strange version of this happens on ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', where Killer Frost suffers a temporary amnesia and [[AmnesiacVillainJoinsTheHeroes helps the heroes commanded by the Monitor]] and even [[FoeYay falls in love with Firestorm]] (to his [[UnwantedHarem surprise AND dislike]]).
