Firestorm/Nathan Graves
The first superhero to appear in the world was Nathan Graves. At age 27, Nathan began working at NASA and gained access to secretive technology involving solar flares. He joined a behind the scenes lab known as the NRG, and began studying possible methods of harnessing energy from far away solar storms. After working closely with his colleagues for years, Nathan managed to construct a complex machine that would be sent to space to gather energy from the sun. Upon the satellites return to Earth, Nathan experimented on it with his partners when something went wrong. The machine wasn't stable enough to handle the power inside it and combusted, sending out a wave of heat equivalent to that of a solar flare. Nathan was the sole survivor of the blast and went through many extensive surgeries afterwards, he stayed in a special hospital for nearly 4 months before fully recovering.

Eventually, Nathan discovered that low level solar energy was still radiating off of his body, while it wasn't harmful to anyone or anything around him, it gave him the ability to make air combust, using only his mind. After this, Nathan revealed his powers to a few friends in his occupation but intended to keep it a secret between them. However, his secret eventually ran loose in the company and he was confronted by a government agency known as AMFUSA, who attempted to capture him but failed. Nathan then fled to Mexico in an attempt to hide from the government but was eventually found and taken to a secret facility in Nevada.

At the facility, scientists successfuly adopted his genes and used them to create a serum that could give any man his abilities. This serum was injected by Lieutenant Brock Harrison which turned him into the unstable villian Inferno. Harrison went haywire and went on a rampage through the facility, and ending up face to face with Nathan.

The battle ended with Nathan unleashing his full energy to land a devestating blow on Brock, knocking him out cold and defeating him.

After the previous events, Nathan was secured once again by the government but then turned loose under the authority of Director Heff, commander of a higher government agency known as CHARTER. He was allowed to return to his home in California and even offered a position in the agency because of his abilities, which he accepted.

Nathan went on to undergo secret missions for the United States in other countries, using his abilities to the best of his advantage and operating under the name Firestorm.
