Who was Martin Stein #2????


Despite the credits here, that WASN'T Olan Soule, unless he sounded really different this time around (and when he did the character the previous year, it sounded just like his Batman). Does anyone know who it really was?

reply

I don't know who it was but it definatley wasn't Olan Soule.

reply

Soule would have been older and perhaps even doing something to his voice, trying not to sound as dynamic?

Not offering an argument that it IS him, just debating it.

reply

I've read Ken Sansom in some sources.

I wonder why Olan Soule wasn't apart of that final season? I'm guessing that they gave him the Martin Stein role to as a means of keeping him involved with the show since he had to acquiesce his long time Batman role to Adam West. Admittedly, Firestorm is kind of a difficult character to explain to casual viewers. If you aren't at all briefed on his backstory, you're going to go on wondering why Firestorm keeps talking to a white outline head belonging to some middle aged man.

They do create major plot hole I believe in Galactic Guardians. In the previous season, The Legendary Super Powers Show, we're lead to believe that Ronnie Raymond must be in the same room as Martin Stein in order to become Firestorm. But on Galactic Guardians, Ronnie just thinks really hard with Stein in his mind and he just transforms into Firestorm.

I mean, that's awfully inconvenient (and dare I say, kind of inconsiderate on Ronnie's part) for Stein isn't it? I mean, what if he's in the middle of teaching a class, is in the shower, or sitting on the toilet, when he's suddenly called to help Ronnie become Firestorm.
