History

Human Torch
Johnny Storm, the youngest child of scientist William Storm, failed to inherit the genius shared by his father and older sister, Sue. Educated through public schooling, Johnny attended high school at P.S. 440. He spent his formative years at the Baxter Building labs; but despite his access to its high-tech resources, he rebelliously resisted taking advantage of this opportunity to learn.

Johnny attended the test of Reed Richards' Nevada desert N-Zone teleportaional device and was transported by its malfunction to France. Waking in a hospital bed there, he briefly burst into flame with no harm to himself. Taken to the Baxter Building, he continually inadvertently burst into flame, slowly learning to control his combustion by reciting "Flame On" and "Flame Off." When the Baxter Building was attacked by Arthur Molekevic's genetically constructed monster, Johnny accidentally burned through a window and fell from the skyscraper, discovering he could fly while aflame.

Alone among the foursome, Johnny dreamed of using his powers to be a super hero like the Ultimates; however, his father insisted Johnny finish high school, which he was coerced into attending. He registered at Midtown High School in Queens, and made friends quickly, meeting Liz Allan, Mary Jane Watson, and Peter Parker (secretly Spider-Man), among others. When Johnny accidentally caught fire at a beach bonfire, he fled, returning only briefly to ask Liz Allen to meet with him so he could explain. Though Allen didn't show, Spider-Man did, and the two talked before cooperating to save people trapped in a burning building. Johnny's spirit was renewed by Spider-Man's contention that the drawbacks of Super-powers are outweighed by the good they can do, and he shared with Spider-Man the name he would use when the team went public: the Human Torch. The Fantastic Four were forced to go public while battling the alien Nihil on Las Vegas Sunset Strip; Johnny has since reveled in fame and Fantastic Four's adventures.

In the pre-waking events of Ultimatum, Johnny was having an argument with his father of concerning over Johnny's laid back lifestyle. Johnny insisted that he doesn't want to change his life and refuse to be more like his hard working sister until the Ultimatum Wave hit New York and the Baxter Building. Johnny and Franklin were swept in the water, and Johnny tried to rescuing his father from drowning, but Franklin pushed son away to save himself and dying in the process. Johnny later find himself awaken in the devastated streets of Time Square, and remembering of his father self-sacrifice flew to the Statue of Liberty and expressing his anger for his useless for unable to save his father or anyone else caught in the wave. He is then captured by Dormammu, who used him to channel his power into his own in order to escape his reality. Johnny remained trapped inside Dormammu's talisman and witnessed Dr. Strange's death by the demon. Fortunately his sister and Ben Grimm arrived and defeated Dormammu and reverting him to human form in thanks to the combination of Susan and Johnny Storm's cooperative teamwork. Johnny and his family attended Franklin Storm's funeral in which Johnny is still in shock over his father's death and regretful for the argument he had with him. Johnny took a long month travel to Europe and return six months later to New York City and eventually deciding to live with Peter Parker and his family.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Johnny's external surface, including skin, hair and eyes is covered with a microscopic layer of transparent fireproofing plates, making him fully immune to fire damage. His cells generate plasmajets through clean nuclear fusion, allowing Johnny to emit flame from part or all of his skin, and even to fly. Johnny powers this fusion internally, so if he does not consume enough energy to generate new protective cells regularly, he runs the risk of literally burning himself up. He can also control flame outside of himself, though this has yet to be explained.
