Human Torch, born Johnny Storm, is the youngest member of the Fantastic Four — the brash, wisecracking kid brother of Sue Storm who can engulf himself in flames, fly, and project fire. Johnny's powers make him the most openly aggressive member of the team, and his personality — impulsive, charming, easily bored — has made him one of Marvel's most enduring characters. His rivalry with the Thing and his friendship with Spider-Man are cornerstones of the Marvel Universe.
