<B>Real Name:</B> Jonathan "Johnny" Storm
<B>Group Affiliation:</B> Fantastic Four
<B>Height:</B> 5'10"
<B>Weight:</B> 170 lbs.
<B>Eyes:</B> Blue
<B>Hair:</B> Blonde
<B>Powers:</B> The Human Torch possesses the mental ability to control ambient heat energy and the physical ability to envelop his entire body or portions of his body with fiery plasma without harm to himself. The Torch refers to his highest, hottest levels of plasma that he can create as his nova flame. His flesh cannot be scalded or burned by any heat source whose level is below that of his maximum output.
In our reality, Jonathan Storm went to California to visit his sister Susan who had moved there hoping to become an actress and then became engaged to marry aeronautical engineer Reed Richards. Richards was working on a starship of his own design that would make possible travel to other solar systems through hyperspace. When the United States government threatened to cut off its partial funding for the project, Richards decided to make an immediate test flight. The three of them would ride in the starship with Reed's friend Benjamin Grimm acting as pilot. The starship encountered unexpected intense radiation, which proved to be too much for the ship's shielding to block out. Upon landing, Johnny Storm discovered that the cosmic rays had mutagenically altered his entire body, enabling him to create fiery plasma all about his body without harm to himself. Storm called himself the Human Torch and agreed to join Richards' proposed team of champions, the Fantastic Four.
