Henry Hewitt

Dr. Henry Hewitt is a meta-human who was affected by the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion and gained the ability to absorb and generate fire-like energy, thus having similar abilities to Firestorm. His powers didn't surface, however, until an unsuccessful attempt by Team Flash to fuse him with a dying Martin Stein through the use of Firestorm Matrix.

Following said attempt, Henry turned into a raging, vindictive meta-human with the ability to absorb and generate deadly energy. At first, Henry came off as a well-meaning young man, apart from being particularly confident about his "destiny" to aspire to greater things, but as soon as things didn't follow his expectations he quickly shows his true colors; hot-headed and temperamental. Henry's anger causes him to lash out at people, threatening and later assaulting people who have annoyed and disappointed him, his anger being derived from his bloated ego. As Cisco pointed it out, Henry had an immense ego, something the latter would demonstrate by berating and threatening his own boss for scrutinizing him, or towards Caitlin Snow for getting his hopes up of becoming the new half of the Firestorm entity.

True to his ego, Henry felt entitled and openly slandered Jefferson Jackson for replacing him, believing and saying out loud that he deserved the Firestorm Matrix. It appeared that Henry's anger issues were greatly amplified after his powers have resurfaced, fueling him with rage and energy. A confident, if boastful, man before the mutation, his meta-human side brought out the worst of his character.

Firestorm Candidacy and Revenge

Henry was called to S.T.A.R. Labs by Caitlin Snow because his molecular structure made him one of two perfect matches for the unstable Martin Stein. While the pair seemed like a perfect match due to their backgrounds as scientists, they failed to converge twice. Henry was irked and disappointed, berating Caitlin for getting his hopes up over nothing.

Back at his science lab, his superior grilled him over his tardiness and work ethic, causing Henry to erupt into a tirade and his body covered in the same red aura as his hand when he departed S.T.A.R. Labs. Though glad to have power he was still angry with Caitlin because he couldn't be Firestorm, Henry attacked Caitlin while she was talking to Jefferson Jackson in an attempt to kill her for what she did to him.
