We’re at Day Four of this year’s Jack Kirby Tribute Month (curated by Howard Simpson), this time all Fantastic Four-themed. And completing our Four is Johnny Storm, the Human Torch!
The powers Johnny gained in their flight through the cosmic rays were arguably the flashiest of the group, and actually fitting his character (especially as the youngest member). He flew high and burned hot, much like his emotions sometimes did in those early adventures. In those early days, sometimes he would go beyond his limits and lose his powers until he could rest and recover them.
Over the course of Jack and Stan’s original Fantastic Four run, Johnny grew and went through a lot. Some of which we’ll eventually get to in a later post.
Well, that’s our Four! Who comes next, now that we’ve done them? Tune in tomorrow to see!
