Luckily for Silas, he was a mutant and his power suddenly activated for the first time after getting prolonged sustained sunlight for several days as a catalyst. On a run from New York City to Los Angeles his van broke down in the Mohave Desert*. Well, that doesn’t really count for people like Silas King, aka Solarr.

More than once Xavier has observed that while fighting alongside other heroes he has almost gotten his teammates killed from falling debris.ĭo you know when people tell you that you should get out of the sun because it’s really bad for you. He does not consider the ramifications of using his powers. Unfortunately, one of his biggest drawbacks is his recklessness. He has studied several martial arts fighting styles including karate, judo, and kendo (sword fighting) and can kick most people’s asses without the use of his powers. Oh and he can fly, too.Īs a fighter, he’s okay to have on your side. While most people died from radiation poisoning, Shiro’s mother simply gave birth to a mutant who could absorb solar radiation and convert it to fiery explosive plasma that he can shoot from his body. Sunfire is a mutant whose mother was exposed to the radiation from the bomb the US dropped on Hiroshima. This is understandable because if he were, Xavier would have trained him to be a better team player. While he is considered to have been part of the X-men’s roster, he denies actually being part of that team. Sunfire, aka Shiro Yoshida, really did not like the west – and he certainly did not like the X-men at the time. Galactus prepared her for the rigors of space (making her look very much like the Silver Surfer) and then she left Johnny Storm (literally) to do her new job – thus ending the relationship. Frankie, who liked to adventure into the unknown, volunteered for the job. The relationship ended when Galactus needed a new herald. She even got a costume made of unstable molecules. So, at last, Johnny has a girl that he can fly and burn things with. Frankie was doused by chemicals that allowed her to have powers very much like Johnny Storm’s. The reason for this became apparent when it was revealed that her stepfather was Phineas Horton, the inventor of the Original Human Torch (see above). Essentially, Frankie had some subconscious concerns over dating the Human Torch. This was a regular thing and he dated a girl named Frankie Raye, who was an interpreter at the UN.

I give you, dear reader, credit to know where this is going.īack in the seventies, Roy Thomas decided that Johnny Storm needed another girl friend. No one under the age of forty would really even get the reference nowadays.


The “Frankie and Johnny Were Lovers” song has gotten way too much mileage. The only thing that makes him really unique are his powers and that he doesn’t seem to age. He is vulnerable to many of the things that normal human beings are vulnerable to – Ie: gas, drugs, wounds, telepathic attacks, and so on. He is basically a normal guy with a good sense of humor. The Torch's alias (secret ID) is Jim Hammond. Then he was deactivated again, reactivated again, regained his powers, self-destructed again, was rebuilt, weaponized, and retired. But he got them back and then he’s lost his powers again.

The Vision is actually a different android made by Phineas Horton.ĭecades later the Torch is reactivated and joined the West Coast Avengers. Instead he expelled all his energy stores and deactivated himself into a state of hibernation. It was the standard history that the torch's android body was found by Ultron and made into the modern incarnation of the Vision. Now here’s where a giant cluster of continuity problems happen.
