First appearance: Fantastic Four #1 (Nov 1961)
Johnny Storm, brother of Susan Storm was the brother of Susan Storm, also known as The Invisible Woman and one of the original Fantastic Four. On a voyage into outer space, he and the rest of the Fantastic Four were blasted by cosmic rays which gave each of them superpowers. Johnny gained the ability to create and manipulate fire and immerse himself in flames which also allows him to fly.
Johnny is one of my favourite Marvel characters as his depiction is very multi-layered. He is a hero who fights for the good of everyone, but he also has a rebellious side, and is a bit of a hotshot. He has defended the Earth from alien invasion many times, but he still remains grounded and keeps himself together.
