The Human Torch



About the Torch

Like the rest of the Fantastic Four, Jonathan "Johnny" Storm gained his powers on a spacecraft bombarded by cosmic rays. He can engulf his entire body in flames, fly, absorb fire harmlessly into his own body, and control any nearby fire by sheer force of will. "Flame on!," which the Torch customarily shouts when activating his full-body flame effect, has become his catchphrase. The youngest of the group, he is brash and impetuous in comparison to his reticent, overprotective and compassionate older sister, Susan Storm, his sensible brother-in-law, Reed Richards, and the grumbling Ben Grimm

Early Years

Johnny Storm and his older sister, Sue, lived uneventfully on Long Island until their mother, Mary Storm, died in an automobile accident. Their father, Franklin Storm, a doctor, failed to save her. Despondent, Franklin descended into booze and gambling, eventually winding up in a penitentiary for murder.[21] The children went to live with their aunt Marygay. Growing up in suburban Glenville, Johnny Storm was drawn to automobiles, despite his mother's death in a car accident, and became quite a mechanic at a young age. While still a teenager, he selflessly rescued two of his friends from a burning building. No stranger to adventure, Johnny was nearly chosen as the human host of the demonic Zarathos, and was attacked by the legendary St. Germaine, who sought the power for himself. Johnny escaped the lure of Zarathos with the help of archaeologist Max Parrish, the uncle of Cammy Brandeis, on whom Johnny had a bit of a crush.

About Max Poole

I am a Junior at Boise State University and a third year GIMM student in the college of innovation and design. I have always wanted to learn more about computers and how they worked. I was always curious of how computers were able to communicate between each other and allow us to communicate as well. That curiosity drove me to study more about computers and how they worked. This led me to an interest in using code to design art, and or build games. This was taught by our teachers as a great tool for learning new information. But it didn't just teach us how to view learning and seeing it in a new perspective, but it also taught us how to fail. What I mean is that, GIMM brings a lot of challenges your way. They understand the real world and how us learning will translate to jobs after college, so they teach you to try anything and everything. And if you fail, learn from your mistake and try again with the knowledge you have learned. And in the real world, life is going to give you challenges and problems that seem impossible. But by not giving up and pushing through all the challenges, you will surprise yourself with what you can accomplish.
