HistoryEdit

Hawk Rivers was a notorious arsonist that was active in New York City during the 1940's. In the summer of 1941 he would break out of prison putting the Human Torch and his partner Toro on his trail. To get away from the heroes he would set a building a blaze, and Toro would be injured in the process of saving those trapped inside.

Later, the mayor of New York would receive a ransom demand from Rivers ordering the city to pay out 10 million dollars or he would destroy the city. With city officials leaning toward paying the ransom, the Human Torch would refuse to surrender and would take the law in his own hands. Things would become more complicated when Toro would disobey the Torch's orders and leave the hospital to track Rivers down. Toro would find the arsonist's hideout but would be captured and use as a means to try and keep the Torch from attacking.

Wrapping the boy up in asbestos lined tape and sealing his feet in plaster they would toss the boy sidekick from a plane, however the Torch would manage to save him. Melting off the landing gear of Rivers plane, the villain would be forced to surrender in order to land safely.
