Martin Stein is a scientist responsible for the creation of several of America's metahuman, the founder of the Department of Metahuman Affairs and one half of the hero Firestorm.

Martin Stein was a scientist with an interest in metahumans, after losing his son he created the Department of Metahuman Affairs thinking that if they had metahuman back then his son could have been saved.

He contacted David Drake and offered to take care of his children education in exchange of him joining the Department of Metahuman Affairs as metahuman asset and then detonated a nuclear device to activate his metagene, years after he blamed him for a hurricane that killed 25 people in order to estrange him from his family after Drake revealed the truth to his son.[1]

He then spent several years creating metas for the United States government until he decided to infiltrate them through the creation of Project Firestorm.

He found and groomed the emotionally vulnerable Ronald Raymond to become a test subject and caused the incident that fused them together and created Firestorm, and operated as the mind behind the hero until he was exposed on Mars by Doctor Manhattan.[2]

After the end of the superhuman crisis caused by the Supermen Theory he was arrested because of his actions and manipulations.[3]
