	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Human Torch
		The Torch was introduced in the first Marvel comic, Marvel Comics #1 (November, 1939), in a story written and drawn by cartoonist Carl Burgos.
		The Torch's first issue (Human Torch #2, Fall, 1940 — the first issue starred an obscuro called Red Raven) introduced his kid sidekick, Toro, a circus performer who, for reasons only vaguely explained, suddenly acquired Torch-like powers of his own.
		The Human Torch was a party to what is perhaps the first significant crossover in comic books, a great battle between Fire and Water (in the person of The Sub-Mariner) that sprawled across Marvel Mystery Comics #s 8 and 9.

	The Human Torch (I)
		The Torch had adventures through 1949, when his comic book was cancelled, and then again in 1954, during the brief heroic revival of that year.
		As it stands now, in current Marvel continuity, the Human Torch's history is this: the Torch's origin is the same, as are the circumstances under which he met Toro.
		In 1955 the radiation to which he'd been exposed caused the Torch to malfunction and lose control of his flames, and he said goodbye to Toro, went back to the desert, and attempted suicide by overloading his body with one massive burst of flames.

	OAFE - ML2: The Human Torch review
		The Human Torch, who possesses the mental ability to control ambient heat energy, can transform his body into living flame upon command.
		The Human Torch is a fairly simple design - he's a guy on fire - and he's made his way far enough into pop culture to warrant a mention in a Beastie Boys song.
		Like the rest of the Marvel Legends, Human Torch comes with a detailed base, though his is a bit of a cheat.

	The Golden Age Human Torch
		The Human Torch (as he was now known), naive and innocent, briefly fell under the sway of the pool's owner, Sardo, a criminal, but swiftly realised Sardo was evil.
		The Torch accidentally unleashed his flame on Horton, badly burning him, and for a long time he wrongly believed he had killed his creator (in the Golden Age he had, but this was retconned out for the Silver Age)).
		I #4) The Torch was present when the android Adam II attempted to assassinate a young and up-coming politician, a fight in which one Captain America lost his life (the Spirit of '76), and another took up the mantle (the Patriot).

		The Torch can release all of his body's stored energy in one intense, omni-directional "nova-burst," which can reach about 1,000,000 F, and which is similar to the heat-pulse of a nuclear warhead detonation, with an area of total devastation of about 900 feet in diameter.
		Low Light: The Torch's light output is mostly in the infrared and infrared region of the spectrum, and is invisible to the unaided eye.
		Fantastic Costume: The Human Torch's costume, and the rest of his wardrobe, is constructed of unstable molecules, which are attuned to his powers, allowing it to become burst into flame when he does.

	NOVA NOTES : THE CORRECTED HUMAN TORCH ON DISPLAY
		The originator of the Human Torch, Carl Burgos, was a young kid when he created him; and it was a brillant idea.
		The original Human Torch was not human, oddly enough---he was an android, a creation of Professor Horton, who had the propensity of flaming alive, without being consumed, when he was exposed to air.
		Indeed, when the Four decided to put on uniforms in their third issue, it was very similar to the Human Torch's old outfit---except it was mainly blue when the original's was mainly red, and had gloves and boots and a "four" symbol.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Human Torch
		The new Human Torch was Johnny Storm, a hot-headed teenager who, along with the other members of the group, got his powers by riding an experimental rocket through a patch of cosmic rays.
		Network lawyers claimed his habit of bursting into flame constituted "imitatable behavior"; and, fearing some young viewer might douse his body with gasoline in an attempt to "flame on" (as The Torch's battle cry goes), decided it was best to replace him with a cute little robot named Herbie (no relation).
		To date, however, no such incident is known to have occurred in real life, despite the fact that one Human Torch or another has been appearing prominently in comic books for over half a century.

	Human Torch 1
		A bit of humour dropped in here and there helps to keep the tone light and the book rolling along nicely but all in all the story is very straight-forward.
		Unlike a high school book like Ultimate Spider-Man, the Human Torch fails to have any real hooks and definitely nothing on Brian Michael Bendis’ writing, his is still the definitive high school super-hero book out on the stands right now.
		In wrapping this one up I would have to say that the Human Torch is a relatively successful start to the Tsunami line.
