History
Johnny Storm was a teenager when he accompanied his older sister, Sue, and her boyfriend, Reed, and their friend, Ben, in stealing aboard Reed's experimental rocket ship to give it its test flight, but instead became transformed by the cosmic radiation that leaked through the faulty shielding to turn Johnny into a flame-powered super being. Taking his name from the Golden Age Human Torch, Johnny helped his friends in forming the Fantastic Four, and has adventured with them ever since, enjoying his identity of the Human Torch almost as much as his hobby of car racing, and had many other adventures outside the Foursome, including extensive team-ups with Spider-Man.
On the FF's encounter with the Inhumans, Johnny met and soon fell in love with Cyrstal, who later joined the Foursome as a member. There relationship did not last, and Cyrstal returned to her home in Attilan. Later, Johnny helped "rescue" Alicia Masters from the Skull home planet, but this was actually a plot by the Skrulls to place Lyja (later, Laserfist) as a spy among the Four's circle of friends. Lyja ended up falling in love with Johnny, and as Alicia, Johnny courted and soon married her, to the disappointment and anger of Ben, the Thing.
During this time, Johnny was determined to remain in school, and enrolled in Empire State University. Eventually, Lyja was discovered, and although dismissing her at first, Johnny soon reconciled with her, and soon she revealed she was having his child. The "child" ended up being a Skrull bio-weapon, which the Four quickly defeated.
Johnny was among the heroes fighting the menace known as Onslaught, and seemingly sacrificing himself to absorb its energies. In actuality, he was displaced in another universe, and was soon returned to our reality with the rest of the heroes.
