Name: Johnathan Lowell Spencer Storm (usually shortened to just Johnny Storm), The Human Torch
Origin: Marvel Comics
Gender: Male
Classification: Human mutate
Age: Unknown (likely in his 30s)
Powers and Abilities: Super speed, flight, thermal energy generation and manipulation, plasma manipulation, can absorb heat and fire, can absorb some other types of energy (such as nuclear radiation, electricity, and explosive force) and convert them into heat, can generate blinding light, immune to most heat-based attacks (any fire less than 1 million degrees Fahrenheit cannot hurt him, unless it has special properties like Ghost Rider's Hellfire), can create clones of himself out of fire, can create illusions/mirages with fire and heat, can distort and bend light to reveal invisible entities, can detect heat signatures, he can adjust his personal flame/plasma field to allow himself to touch and carry people without harming them, or to vaporize anything that gets near him, can focus heat on specific areas while leaving others untouched, immune to most diseases/infections/poisons as the heat of his body can instantly kill/destroy any harmful foreign agents within his body, can destroy certain forms of energy, can generate heat without creating fire, hypnosis
Weaknesses: Needs oxygen in the vicinity to ignite himself, his flames can be smothered by enough of various suppressant materials, although he can reignite them (although it should be noted that he can still generate heat while underwater). Absorbing too much heat/energy too quickly can cause him to overload if he doesn't find a way to safely disperse it.
Destructive Capacity: Small planet level+ w/Supernova
Range: Potentially planetary
Speed: Massively hypersonic+ (at least 5-digit Mach speed), potentially low FTL via powerscaling
Durability: Large building level, higher with defensive flames, small planet level+ against flame/fire/heat - based attacks
Lifting Strength: Peak human+
Striking Strength: Peak human+ (significantly higher factoring in flight KE)
Stamina: Superhuman, can only stay in plasma form for 16.8 hours
Standard Equipment: Current owner of the Cosmic Control Rod
Intelligence: Years of experience fighting against nearly every conceivable type of enemy, experienced HtH combatant and excellent in controlling his powers, skilled racecar driver and auto mechanic
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Flame Clones: Johnny can create temporary clones out of flame to distract or attack his opponents. Said clones are weaker than him but can use fire-based attacks and are intangible
- Fire Manipulation: In addition to creating a fire aura around himself, he can manipulate any fires in the area, causing them to grow larger or smaller. He can also project flame as jets, beams, fireballs, etc. and form it into complex forms like cages, ropes, whips, swords, discs, and other shapes, as well as control their speed and direction
- Sunburst: Can release a flare of brilliant light that can temporarily blind opponents
- Nova Flames: By burning to his maximum natural limit, he can create a massively intense form of fire which is comparable to stellar temperatures and will completely overwhelm any normal fire. There are generally three separate levels of this:
- Near - Nova flames: Temperature is at least as hot as the sun's core, can potentially wipe out the surface of a planet.
- Nova flames: Temperature is hotter than the core of the sun, can potentially destroy a small planet or moon
- Supernova: Temperature equals that of an exploding star, can potentially destroy a planet
- Heat Drain: By draining all of the ambient heat in the local environment, he can freeze everything around him, possibly to Absolute Zero, although this is not confirmed
- Defensive aura: His standard aura of flame can melt bullets and other projectiles before they hit him, rendering him effectively immune to most gun/shell type attacks. It can also increase his natural durability, allowing him to survive physical attacks from superhuman characters, and even more exotic things like antimatter
- Flame shield: Creates a type of forcefield made of fire that can protect him and others against physical attacks and things like poisonous gas. Alternatively, he can use it to entrap his opponents. These shields can last for days before burning out.
- Buzzsaw fireballs: Creates fireballs with sharp edges that can cut through solid objects (don't ask how it works)
- Heat Vortex: By manipulating the temperature of the air around him, he can create whirlwinds, waterspouts, and tornadoes. They can be as (or more) destructive than their natural counterparts, but can also be precisely controlled so as to safely pick up and carry people and objects without harming them.
- Spontaneous Combustion: Can cause people and objects to burst into flame simply by looking at them (limited to short range)
- Smokescreen: By generating a large amount of smoke, he can confuse and disorient opponents, or mask his and his allies' locations
- Steam Breath: Can breathe superheated steam
- Ultraviolet Blast: Fires concentrated heat waves that can simulate the effect of exposure to direct, dry desert sunlight for weeks on end in seconds. Only effective at close range.
- Oxygen Burn: Burns up all of the oxygen in a local area (most effective in enclosed spaces), causing opponents to suffocate. Can backfire if he doesn't find more oxygen quickly, though.
- Hypnosis: By creating disorienting, swirling patterns of fire, combined with hypnotic techniques, he can hypnotize foes, although he is not as adept at it as Reed
- Annihilation Wave: Current leader of the Negative Zone, has a vast army or giant relentless space insects at his disposal.
