The Human Torch – Flame On Forever in Fantastic Four #36 (Spoilers)
Marvel advertised it as the biggest change to a Fantastic Four character since 1961 and the advertising did seem to suggest it was The Human Torch under the spotlight.
The Fantastic Four's new storyline to follow The Bride Of Doom story was solicited with "Unstable" for Fantastic Four #36 and "There Are Monsters on Yancy Street" for Fantastic Four #37. After the events of Fantastic Four #35, we now know that these both may refer to Johnny Storm, the Human Torch. As a Marvel advert for the upcoming story arc uses an overarching title "Flame On. Forever."
A common thread of the Fantastic Four was that Reed Richards turned Ben Grimm into a monster while Johnny Storm, able to turn his powers on and off, fly, and perform party tricks, remained the hotshot flyboy he always was. Now? Not so much. He is always on fire, he is always in pain, and he cannot touch another human being ever again. Another monster for the pantheon… Flame on. Forever.
