History[]

A hotheaded teenager with a talent for fixing cars, Johnny Storm was inexplicably picked by his sister Sue's criminally irresponsible boyfriend to be a part of the flight crew on his unathorised space flight in a stolen rocket, seemingly undertaken purely in order to humiliate the Russians. Unsurprisingly, the four (the last crewmember being one Ben Grimm) wetre bombarded with a potentially lethal dose of radiation; more surprisingly, they developed super powers, which they used to band together as the Fantastic Four! Johnny's choice of name seemed at the time to be chosen more or less at random, but he may have been subconsciously influenced by the existence of the original Human Torch, a crime fighter from the 1940's!
