FIRE PROJECTILES

Johnny has the ability to project fire. Fireballs. 'Streams' of fire and the like as offensive capabilities. He can also use them to defend projectiles headed in his direction.

FLAME ON!

With a mental trigger, Johnny Storm is able to 'flame on' and cover all or part of his body in a fiery plasma without getting burned. The fire enveloping him normally ranges in intensity from 'torch' levels to hotter than the Sun's surface.

Normally, the plasma covering him is hot enough to melt solid objects that get within a few inches of his body. Bullets tend to splash off of his chest, and he can fly straight through concrete or metal walls, leaving giant holes behind him. But he can also lower the intensity to avoid causing property damage, and he can selectively 'flame off' portions of his body if he wants to... say... carry someone along for the ride on one of his flights.

FLIGHT

The hot air he produces provides sufficient positive buoyancy for him to float. By forming a jet from his feet, directed behind him, he can achieve a normal flight speed of 140 miles per hour, and accelerate up to supersonic speeds capable of catching up with faster beings such as the Silver Surfer while in the Earth's orbit.

HEAT CONTROL

Everybody knows that the Human Torch can control fires, amping them up or putting them out. But technically he's not controlling 'fire', he's controlling the heat that produces the flames. Specifically, by 'absorbing' heat from the environment or 'projecting' heat back into it.

Practically, this means he can warm or cool his surroundings. He's also able to generate flames independently of his body, and he can make the flames take shapes and do tricks. One of his favorites is to form giant messages out of flame, or to create flame duplicates of himself that have sick dance moves.

HEAT IMMUNITY

Even when he's not consciously controlling it, or when he's totally passed out, Johnny is still immune to heat. And flames, by extension. The heat would have to be hotter than the hottest heat that he can produce in order to burn him. That'd be crazy, since Johnny can burn hotter than the Sun.

NOVA

Although it's typically a desperation move, Johnny is capable of directing all of his reserve flame energy in an omnidirectional blast of super intense heat. It can get about a million degrees and has roughly the same level of devastation as a nuclear blast.

Skills

AERIALIST

The Human Torch's preferred method of getting around combines creative use of flame propulsion, aerial maneuvers, and acrobatics. He's extremely maneuverable when he's airborne, and people tend to have a hard time keeping track of him when he's on the move. Much of his training involves flying through demented aerial obstacle courses that his so-called family members design for him, but it has ultimately paid off by making him blazingly fast and highly agile.

DRIVER

Before he could even legally drive, Johnny Storm was living out his Paul Walker fantasies and competing in drag races. These days, he tends to stick to closed tracks and semi-pro events, but he also does a lot of different types of charity races several times a year. As it stands, Johnny is basically a semi-pro caliber driver. To stand a chance at competing in Formula 1 or NASCAR, he'd need to devote way more time to mastering the skillset.

MECHANIC

Lots of teenagers add sport wheels and loud mufflers to their Honda Civics. When Johnny was a teenager he restored a Datsun 510 from little more than a rusted out frame. Ever since then, he's been restoring/rebuilding cars as a hobby and souping them up to drag race. He's a gifted auto mechanic who would have no problem finding work in a variety of traditional garages or custom shops if he were ever to need a conventional job.

Although he mostly restricts his mechanical inclinations to fast cars, Johnny has been known to occasionally tinker with more exotic machinery. He's largely responsible for designing and maintaining the various versions of the Fantasti-Car, for example, and sometimes serves as an ersatz 'Scotty' on some of the ships that Reed has built.

PILOT

Johnny is capable of piloting all of the versions of the Fantasti-Car and Pogo-Plane, as well as some of Reed's more esoteric methods of transportation. He frequently crashes though, so maybe we shouldn't rate his piloting skills too highly?

ATHLEISURE LINE

Recently, Johnny agreed to slap his name on a mid-priced athleisure line available in stores that specialize in affordable sporting goods. He's not exactly sure if it's going to turn a profit yet, but it fits well with his business plan of 'constant self-promotion.'

CELEBRITY

With a huge internet following and a high-profile superhero career, Johnny Storm is at least considered a B List celebrity. He's often referred to as the 'face' of the Fantastic Four, and he does nothing to dispel this notion. This amount of celebrity results in occasional endorsement deals, ad revenue from videos he posts, and paid public appearances.

OUTFITS

Johnny has pretty special requirements from his clothing. Put simply, he'd be naked all of the time if he didn't have clothing capable of withstanding great amounts of heat. Fortunately, the Fantastic Four have access to unstable molecule fabric that suits all of Johnny's needs nicely. Virtually all of his clothing is made of unstable molecules, allowing him to flame on even when he's just chilling in a hoodie and sweatpants.

RACING

If he hadn't taken a ride with his sister and her corny friends, Johnny might have become a professional race car driver. But he's essentially stuck doing the occasional amateur or semi-pro race, along with a handful of charity races each year. Still, the money he earns from racing is enough to pay for his expensive car habit and earn him some public goodwill from whatever he wins for charity.

Weaknesses

ExpandClick to expand.

DO IT WITH STYLE

Johnny has a bad habit to showboat. Do it with style or don't bother doing it. It can be a distraction.

DOUSING

Most of Johnny's abilities require actual combustion to work properly. If his flames are doused, he still can generate heat, but where's the fun in that? Extinguishing Johnny's flames is a sure way to keep him from flying away or throwing balls of fire at you, and it can effectively take him out of the fight. To do this, one needs to have specialized flame-retardant substances on hand, or a way to deny him oxygen. Simply splashing him with water won't cut it, but submerging him in sufficient quantities certainly would. He can also be wrapped in fire-proof blankets, or trapped inside some sort of airtight bubble. Be creative, it's not that hard to figure out ways to put out a fire.

PUBLIC IDENTITY

Not only is Johnny's superhero identity completely public, but everyone knows where he lives. He's basically an open book, who posts his daily routines on social media all the time. Fortunately, he likes the attention, but it makes him a pretty obvious security risk.

RECOVERY PERIOD

Johnny can only 'Flame On' for a certain amount of time. Once that time has expended, depending of his exertion, he will need time to recovery before his next 'Flame On'
