History
The Human Torch and Toro are out on a walk when they hear Futura, a fortune teller, warn people on the street that the Earth will end in an explosion. The two heroes dismiss this as the ravings of a crack pot and go about their day. That night, Futura's prediction has made it into the paper. As the Torch reads over it their apartment is suddenly shaken by an explosion from upstairs. They rush up to the next floor and find that a bomb had gone off in the apartment of a man named John Earth. They find John dead in his apartment and when the Torch looks around he finds that someone left the two gas jets on his stove going, leaving him to wonder if the death was accidental, suicide or a murder.
The next day the Human Torch goes to visit Futura and asks her of her involvement in John Earth's death. She denies having anything to do with it but predict that it will happen.
After various mishaps the Human Torch and Toro overhear Arch Murdock and his men gloating over their numbers racket and how they used the Futura fortune telling hoax to eliminate Earth and Langston who found out about it. The Torch and Toro round them up and then turn them over to the authorities.[1]
