Jason Rusch, the second Firestorm came about in the mid-00s in a small push by DC when creating legacy heroes alongside Ryan Choi, the second Atom, and Jaime Reyes, the third Blue Beetle.
Jason's ongoing series spun out of Identity Crisis, which featured the death of Ronnie Raymond, the first Firestorm and resulted in Jason gaining the Firestorm Matrix, and lasted 35 issues. I last read the series in like 2009 so I don't remember the exact details, but I do remember liking it well enough since Firestorm was an all new character to me.
Jason unfortunately has had a mostly bad run since. Ronnie was revived as a Black Lantern in the Green Lantern event Blackest Night, and he proceeded to murder Jason's girlfriend Gehenna and trap Jason in the Matrix until the end of the story where he was brought back to life. The story then pretty much entirely focused on Ronnie as the main face of Firestorm (cliff notes: the Firestorm Matrix involves two people fusing together into Firestorm with one in control and the other appearing as a ghostly head. Ronnie used to fuse with his college professor, Martin Stein, before getting the powers for himself, and then later Jason would team up with multiple people including his aforementioned girlfriend) and extensively focused on him acting like a frat bro, showing up to Gehenna's funeral hungover from a party his friends threw him for coming back, and cracking about transforming objects into his favourite jello shots (In the meantime Geoff Johns, who wrote the story where Ronnie killed Gehenna, tried to introduce a new love interest for Jason while he was openly grieving her death). Come the New 52 Firestorm gets a series where both Jason and Ronnie are the leads in a story about a superhero arms race between rival nations but didn't last long. The biggest Firestorm story from this period is probably Future's End, wherein Ronnie traps Jason in the Matrix
again for months at a time and the story, again, focuses on his feelings. As far as I can remember, Jason's only really made a handful of appearances since.
He's doing a little better in other media though. He got to be the face of Firestorm in Batman: The Brave & The Bold and appeared in Injustice 2.
Technically Bishop is Aborigine, but I will allow it
I think they've wavered on that. I know at least that in District X by David Hine Bishop refers to himself as black.
Marvel may have forgotten they made a second patriot
I
think this has something to do with character copyright, so Eli was written out and now there's a new Patriot, but I'm not entirely sure.
