Capsule: Johnny is the younger brother of Susan Richards. When Susan decided to follow her fiance, the scientist Reed Richards, into an unauthorized space flight, Johnny tagged along. The spaceship crew was bathed by cosmic radiation and mutated, gaining superhuman powers. In Johnny's case, the ability to control flame.
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. He is also the only FF member that always enjoyed his powers and superhero status.
The Human Torch, PL 12
Str 12 (+1), Dex 16 (+3), Con 14 (+2), Int 12 (+1), Wis 11 (+0), Cha 15 (+2)

Feats: Accurate Attack, Attack Specialization (fire blasts) 2, Attractive, Benefit (FF member), Benefit (wealth) 2, Defensive Attack, Defensive Roll 2, Dodge Focus 2, Favored Environment (air) 2, Improved Initiative, Move-By Action, Power Attack, Renown 3, Taunt, Teamwork
Powers:
- Energy Form 9 (Flame Sheath, Flight 5 [250 MPH], Force Field 6, Immunity 10 [Bullets and Meltable Melee Weapons, Flaw: Sustained Duration], Strike 9 [Extra: Aura, Power Feat: Precise])
- Fire Control 15 (Power Feat: Precise [Applies to Whole Array], Alternate Powers: Blast 15, Blast 10 [Extra: Autofire], Blast 10 [Extra: Area (Line)], Blast 6 [Extras: Area (Shapeable), Duration (Sustained)], Environmental Control 7 [Extreme Heat and Bright Light (500 ft radius)], Nullify Fire Powers 15)
- Immunity 10 (Fire Effects)
- Note: 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 three fatigue results and up to three wound results (up to unconscious), to add up to +10 ranks.

Complications: Fame
