Human Torch/Void Analyzing Fantastic Four

Jonathan Lowell Spencer "Johnny" Storm was a member of the Fantastic Four known as Human Torch. He was pruned by the Time Variance Authority and sent to the Void, where he joined the Resistance opposing Cassandra Nova and her henchmen. Human Torch was captured along with Deadpool and Wolverine by a group of Nova's scavengers led by Pyro, who stripped Storm of his powers. When Deadpool openly mentioned Storm's vulgar comments about her, Nova brutally killed him.
==Biography==
===Early Life===
====The Fantastic Four====
Following a mission in space, Johnny Storm gained the power to manipulate and transform his body into fire, which granted him the ability to fly. Along with three others who also possessed unique powers, including Reed Richards, they formed a superhero team known as the Fantastic Four, with Storm going by the codename "Human Torch."
===Banished to the Void===
====Encounter with the TVA====
At some point, Human Torch had a run in with the Multiverse which resulted in him being taken by the Time Variance Authority, who pruned him, sending him to the Void, a place that Mister Fantastic had researched and expressed thoughts on. Human Torch was able to avoid being eaten by Alioth, but others he was with were not so fortunate.
====Joining the Resistance====
Human Torch came across a group of other heroes who had survived in the Void from Alioth. However, the wasteland was ruled by the mutant Cassandra Nova, who forced those trapped in the Void to work for her. This group of heroes, including Elektra, Blade, Gambit, and X-23, rebelled against Nova and formed a Resistance, hiding out in the borderlands and trying to figure a way out of the Void. The Resistance spent years in hiding, and any attempt they made to fight Nova only ended in defeat.
====Meeting Deadpool and Wolverine====
Human Torch went out on a scout mission, during which he came across Deadpool and Wolverine, who were in the middle of fighting each other. Human Torch broke it up by telling them that fighting each other meant that they would lose and warned them that Cassandra Nova's crew were approaching their location. Jumping to the ground, Human Torch revealed himself, which excited Deadpool.
As they became surrounded by a convoy of Nova's henchmen led by Pyro Human Torch confidently told Deadpool and Wolverine that he would handle the situation. Deadpool hugged Human Torch, who immediately broke free from him as Pyro told them there was nowhere to run. Human Torch responded that he wasn't running and warned Pyro of what was about to come. Human Torch then shouted his catchphrase and ignited into flames.
Soaring into the sky above everyone, Human Torch blasted a beam of fire directly at Pyro. However, also having fire-based powers, Pyro was able to stop Human Torch's attack with ease and extinguish all of his fire. Rendered powerless, Human Torch plummeted from the sky, hitting a nearby structure on the way down before crashing onto the ground, knocking him unconscious. Human Torch was tied up and thrown in a cage alongside Deadpool and Wolverine, who were also defeated by the henchmen.
As they were taken to Nova's lair, Human Torch explained the Void, using Mister Fantastic's explanation to do so. He informed them about Alioth and the Resistance; Wolverine thought the Resistance could help them get back to the TVA, but Human Torch laughed at the idea, stating that whoever didn't get eaten by Alioth worked for Nova. Human Torch then spent the remainder of the trip expressing his hatred for Nova in extremely vulgar language, which he said he could be quoted on.
====Death====
Arriving at the compound, Human Torch, Deadpool and Wolverine were let out of the cage and brought before Cassandra Nova, who remarked on how she had spent years trying to capture Human Torch.
Deadpool interrupted, revealing to Nova what Human Torch had told them about her, although Human Torch tried to get Deadpool to stop talking at the risk of getting him killed. However, Deadpool continued and repeated exactly what Human Torch said to them verbatim. Human Torch attempted to deny it all, but Deadpool insisted on crediting Human Torch for his words. In a panic, Human Torch still desperately tried to deny insulting Nova, but she coldly used her powers to remove his skin in an instant, killing him.
===Legacy===
Deadpool and Wolverine were able to escape from Cassandra Nova's compound when Alioth arrived, and they later were brought to the Resistance Hideout by the Resistance. Deadpool rallied the group to launch an attack on Nova's compound in the hopes of using Nova to finally escape the Void, citing Human Torch's death as a reason. The Resistance was saddened to hear that Human Torch had been murdered, but Wolverine accused Deadpool of getting him killed, which the latter denied.
The attack was successful and Deadpool and Wolverine returned to the former's universe in time to stop Nova from using the Time Ripper to destroy all universes but the Void. Returning to the Time Variance Authority Office, Deadpool retrieved and played a tape taken from a hidden camera that was located in his cage. The tape showed Human Torch insulting and demeaning Nova using incredibly crude language, proving that he said the things Deadpool accused him of.
==Personality==
Johnny, much like the Captain America he was mistaken for, was heroic and leaderlike, quickly stopping Deadpool and Wolverine's fighting to remind them that they only had each other in the Void. He refused to work for the psychotic Cassandra Nova, becoming a member of the freedom-fighting Resistance instead. But he was also sharp-tongued and abrasive, especially about Nova who he had harbored a deep hatred for, using extensive vulgar vocabulary to describe her and his wishes to kill her. Storm was so vulgar and offensive that even Deadpool, who often makes rude remarks, was surprised. Johnny's running his mouth was ultimately his undoing, as Cassandra Nova swiftly killed him after Deadpool repeated the obscenities he had used about her.
