| − | '''Capsule:''' Johnny is the younger brother of [[Invisible Woman|Susan Richards]]. When Susan decided to follow her fiance, the brilliant scientist [[Mister_Fantastic|Reed Richards]], into an unauthorized space flight, Johnny tagged along. The spaceship crew was bathed by cosmic radiation and mutated, gaining superhuman powers. Johnny acquired the power to generate and manipulate fire in several ways.

| − | So was born the world-famous Fantastic Four. Johnny is the youngest and more impulsive member of the team, with a passion for cars and girls. His powers suit his personality perfectly. Johnny also is the only FF member that has always enjoyed his powers and superhero status. He has a friendly rivalry with the [[Thing]].

| − | Johnny's main source of angst are his relationships with women. They have a way of ending in spectacularly bad ways, such as his involvement with the Inhuman princess [[Crystal]], Frankie Raye, and the Skrull warrior-woman Lyja.

| − | '''Notes:''' Johnny is something of a "glass cannon". He is pretty good at offense, but defensivelly he is only equivalent to a PL 10 character. He'll usually attack from a distance, sometimes using his Move-By Action and Defensive Attack feats to disorient opponents that could hurt him badly. | + | '''Drawbacks:''' Power Loss (Fire-Negating Substances, -2) |
| | | | |
| − | Johnny's "Nova Flame" should be simulated through the use of Extraordinary Effort and Last-Ditch Effort, as seen in the Masterminds Manual. Initially, the player pays 1 Hero Point to use a Power Stunt that replicates '''Blast 15''' (''Extra:'' Area [Explosion], ''Flaw:'' Range [Touch]). Johnny will then use up to three fatigue results and up to three wound results to add up to +10 ranks, generating a '''Blast 25''' Explosion.
