Who is Martin Stein?

Few characters in DC's Bronze Age can claim as rich and enduring a legacy as Martin Stein, who first stepped onto the page in 1981's DC Comics Presents #38, conjured by the talented duo of Len Wein and Alex Saviuk. Over more than four decades, Stein has woven himself into the very fabric of the DC Universe, rubbing shoulders with titans like Superman, Batman, and The Flash, and earning a permanent entry in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe — the ultimate mark of DC royalty. His deepest roots run through Firestorm the Nuclear Man and the pages of Justice League of America, where he shares adventures with Ronnie Raymond and the brightest stars in DC's constellation. With 11 key issues to his name and nearly a hundred catalog appearances spanning all the way to 2025, Martin Stein is a Bronze Age original whose importance to DC lore only grows with time — absolutely essential reading for any serious collector.
