Description
Jim Hammond is the original Human Torch, an android created by scientist Phineas Horton in the late 1930s. He can engulf himself in flames and control fire, operating as one of the earliest superheroes in Marvel's history. Known for adopting the secret identity of a New York City police officer, Hammond balances his synthetic nature with a desire to understand humanity. He is closely linked to the Golden Age of comics and served as a precursor to later flame-powered heroes in the Marvel Universe.
