human torch
The Human Torch is an alias held by two superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel comics, Jim Hammond and Johnny Storm.
Jim is the original Human Torch and was created by Carl Burgos, first appearing in Marvel Comics #1 (Oct. 1939). He is an android created in a lab by Phineas T. Horton, a near- perfect replica of a human being made up of cells known as "Horton Cells". These cells transform oxygen into energy by accumulating heat, causing Jim to burst into flames.
Johnny is the more well known Human Torch and was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, first appearing in Fantastic Four #1 (Nov. 1961). He is a founding member of the Fantastic Four, along with Reed Richards, Ben Grimm and his older sister Sue Storm, who all gained superhuman abilities after being exposed to cosmic radiation during an unauthorized space flight.
Both Human Torches are capable of controlling heat energy, generating and controlling fire, flight and can transform their bodies into a fiery plasma.
