I love Johnny, really I do, I mean, who wouldn't?
But the legacy, the heroism and the history contained in the character of Jim Hammond will always make him one of the coolest characters in the Marvel Universe, especially because Marvel doesn't place nearly as much emphasis on its golden age history as DC does so appearances by them are much rarer and more previous. Plus, I think his face being covered by the flames rather than visible through it like Johnny is is just cooler
so true, not even a proper Human Torch/Jim Hammond Marvel Legends Figure
@@majingunplero8472 It's the same for Bucky. No Marvel Legends figure. Plenty of Winter Soldier, but nothing from his Bucky days. Personally i'd love to have an Invaders display but not possible right now.
@@summonersumnerus4364 there are actually Bucky figures. But sadly popularity of movies kinda killed all new attempts of doing them.
@@summonersumnerus4364 hopefully with the current focus on the golden age in the comics and movies means we might see those figures sooner than you think.
I think it'd be cool to get like a prequel show or movie that's about the invaders. Maybe instead of having Steve Rodgers Cap on the MCU team they use a different one
I could see the howling commandos being the upfront team and the invaders as like a black ops force or something. Maybe all of them could be mutants or non human in some way to give a reason for the covertness
@@pickedceasar1216 That would be cool. The perfect moment though was when Agent Carter was running. They could have easily introduced the All Winners squad or flashbacked to the invades. Oh well.
Honestly, I wish Jim Hammond was still in Marvel comics now, the idea of an android with this dangerous power while also finding humanity is fascinating. Plus I want more exploration of Horton Cells, they sound super cool
Thank you! The original Torch is one of my favorites. I learned about the "Horton Cells" fairly recently, and I'm glad you mentioned them. I think it's important to distinguish the Torch from the Vision, and establishing that Jim Hammond is made up entirely of synthetic tissues while Vision is a combination of synthetic tissues, electronics, and mechanical parts is a great way of doing that. Unfortunately, the whole Immortus-thing confuses matters.
I always wanted to know who Vision is supposed to be. Apparently he's a combination of Jim Hammond and I guess Wonder Man? I mean, physically speaking, he's partially made out of Hammond's body, but who's consciousness is inside? Although they used Wonder Man's brain waves, whatever that means lol, I'm not sure who really is the person inside, that has feelings for Wanda and is so intelligent.
Love the human torch love to have his kind of power great video and history on human torch love the character
I hope you’re feeling better ! get well soon and thank you for this !!!
Even though I've seen these Human Torch videos before they are still a fun re-watch for me. Putting them both together gave a much more in-depth look at the history of these characters, more in line with your more recent videos. This makes me think of the female Horton-android, TARA, from the early 2000's Invaders series. She didn't have many appearances but would make a good companion piece to your Human Torch videos. There is so much more history of the original Torch left to cover that a part 3 could be made and TARA, Invader-1, could be a part of it.
Thanks! Feel better soon! I love your videos!! 🤧😷🤒
Thank you so very much for your videos. We enjoy them. Please take good care of yourself. No need to apologize but be sure to get well soon. Love you always
Thanks for the awesome videos as always! Feel better!
As always, a great well researched, informative video. Give yourself time to Rest, recharge and don’t overtax your body whilst under the weather…us marvelites can wait and be patient. Get well soon “UATU”.
Love this my father's name is Jim Hammond so HT always me liked. Wasn't Toro a mutant??
First thought to be a mutant, then revealed to have been an inhuman whose powers were activated by being injected the synthetic cells of the original HT. Comics!
Really?? That's wierd so he was an inhuman? Cool
He said he as thought to be a mutant be was actually a inhuman this means toro is one of if not marvel's first inhuman like how namor is marvel's first mutant enough if he's a hybrid
Hmm so the clash between mutants and inhumans existed way before even the X-Men and the Royals met. Marvel's first ever mutant Namor vs Marvel's first inhuman Toro would be a historical fight to witness.
@@jorgecaballero6215 I hate it when people use the word "reveal" to describe retcons. Reveal implies we're learning something that was always there. We're not. It was never there until dipshit writers changed it to be there. Iceman wasn't "revealed" to be gay. Mystique wasn't "revealed" to be Nightcrawler's dad. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver weren't "revealed" to be not mutants, and not Magneto's children after they were "revealed" to be Magneto's children in the first place. Kamala Khan wasn't "revealed" to be a mutant.
Great episode sir fun facts get well soon
4:55 The well prepared gangster always has at least one eight foot, air tight glass tube on hand.
I love your channel. You are the best.
Have you done a video about the original Vision? The one from the smoke dimension. He was also known as Aarkus.
Just like how we're going to see Namor the Submariner making his MCU debut in Black Panther Wakanda Forever, When do you think we will see the original Human Torch and Toro in the MCU since we saw a glimpse of one of them in the first Captain America movie?
Hope you feel better soon.
Dope video 👍
yes the first hero
Thanks! How about Blue Marvel/Gladiator/The Defenders/Fire Lord/Galactus
The cosmic cube can do anything
Thank you
Who do you think is better between the original Human Torch and Toro? What do you think Vision would be like if he had the powers of the Android Human Torch since he was built from his body?
The original human torch that started it all. 😀👍
Along with Namor The Sub-Mariner and The Angel.
@@nomaamguyplusseinfeldandco2870 them too. 😀👍
As a kid the original Human Torch was being published in new (those historic) adventures every month thanks to the Invaders. And his Golden Age tales were semi regularly being reprinted. So he was just as much THE Human Torch as Johnny Storm. (Enough for kids to use the Mego HT action figure to play as him as much as Johnny). I just finished your video on Marvel's Golden Age weird (horror?) tales; it made me realize that the Torch's origin (both Torches actually) is a horror tale more than a superhero tale. Very cool insight. Thanks. Oh as for Toro, they actually seem to have been trying to bring him back in the pages of Power Pack (an amnesiac graying-haired homeless man named Raymond who seemed to be able at times to create small flames) but then they seemed to drop that and I never heard again of that story arc. Anyone know if that was revisited?
Magnificent Video! Learned something about Human Torch 🔥 A video I'd like to see is the full story of HOBGOBLIN
How about a video on Terror, from the Terror Inc. title?
Human torch being the first marvel hero is crazy..
What do you think Johnny Storm The_Human_Torch would say about the original Human_Torch and Toro? Who do you think would win?
This is the GOATED Human Torch that offed Hitler 💪🏾✨️
I always loved the 70s & 80s renderings of all the Torches throughout Invaders & Fantastic Four. The red base color, black lines, and surrounding flames were simple yet always dynamic. I've not cared for the look of Johnny Storm in years nor Toros new Inhuman look. Not sure what's become of Jim Hammond.
I love it
Great job👍⚡
I hope you feel better soon take care of yourself love from Fiji man if you have time can you do a video on the legion of Monsters and the Midnight Sons
Would love to see a live action film of this
Great video. Great research. Interesting accent...
The Android Torch
Get better soon groetjes
Just like how you did the history of Namor the Submariner, can you do history of the Invaders and it's members?
Get better. Excelsior!
I’d love to see a show or a special presentation about the original human torch
I just found out this was the first Marvel character ever made. Never knew that Human Torch from the Fantastic Four was a remake of this fire powered android. I guess this story didn't catch on too well. But after learning of the original Human Torch, I think I like the idea of an Android with fire powers developing a human conscience sounds better than Johnny Storm as Human Torch. I wish there was more development with the original version
There's an issue where they meet
Recently read the original story, and honestly the Torch is a real goofball of sorts, he'd fit right in amongst all the modern heroes if they ever brought him back, he's a lot like Spidey personality wise, just a little more ruthless due to being a _brand new_ person, and not knowing better, but he still knows when someone's an asshole who deserves what comes to them.
Oh, the wild ways a horrible dictator would die, Adolfs flaming body telling an officer to report his death as a suicide is pretty awesome. The Flaming Fuhrer would be an amazing villain. Please tell me Immortus was just not capable at the time,ie; getting his Masters in Evil degree, to make this a reality.
Thanks
You left out the past 30 years
Could you do videos on Rom Spaceknight/ The Dire Wraiths. Torpedo and the daredevil Anti-Hero/villain The Copperhead? Great videos!
What do you think is the best thing about the original Human_Torch in the Comics? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best? What do you think he would be like if he appeared in the MCU?
Love the original and Toro and Johnny, however, I don't like the creent renditions of them (as essentially burning men) I perfered the former looks; where The Human Torch (Jim) was mostly enveloped in flame with no facial features and Toro being mostly red and less firey. I totally perfered the John Byrne version of Johnny Storm with his, moreorless, red body, facial features and flames appearing randomly anywhere on him (I also loved his "Nova Flame" power) but, I think that's gone. Thanks, Mr. Marvelite for taking a confusing winding road and making it a straight line! It must be getting much more difficult though...now that writers don't seem to believe in canon OR continuity!! \m/
The OG torches go hard forget johnny or all three could make a fire team
Begging pleading crying for a rick jones deep dive. The man has created the hulk, been bucky (in such a weird way), been the billy batson to captain marvel’s shazam, and impressively been a hulk himself! Add on his history with the teen brigade and his role in modern comics with Captain America and the way he’s used in event comics and thats a super interesting character that at times felt like the editors and writers weren’t sure what to do with. Not to mention a bit of a empty spot in terms of youtube coverage. He doesn’t have many dedicated videos on him and his origins and history. Mostly just interested in hearing one take on the absurdity of everything he’s been put through! Unsure if requesting videos is a patreon only thing so if so someone correct me!
One of my favorite moments was Remender's Secret Avengers
Introducing Jim Hammond to the wounded vet and Agent Venom Flash Thompson
Cap:Jim and I were fellow Invaders in WW2, and like you he's a Medal of Honor Recepient
Flash: How'd Y'earn the ol Medal of Honor Jim
Cap: Jim Killed Hitler.
This story would make an excellent movie.
I was following along until the end 🥴
What about Nova (Frankie Raye)?
Good point
The very first Marvel character. I Know it’s a reupload.
😳 WOW ❕ That was cool.
Can you do history of Master Pandemonium, Sleepwalker, D'Spayre, Chthon, Mephisto, Black heart, Dormammu, Clea, Nightmare, Baron Mordo and Pkzkrfmknna along with Firestar and Vance_Astrovik AKA Justice?
Hey! You got rid of the special shout to me in your outro for giving you the recommendation for the human torch video in the first place :( not mad or bothered just a little sad bruh
Booo who guy is sick man maybe little slack more complements less critic be a good human kiss kiss
@@shawndardbarbarbarian5061 wouldn't take my comment too seriously cause it's all in good fun so whatever man
Loved this episode as always; hope you get well 🔜/❤️🩹.
How about doing some episodes on:
"The Angel"(from the 'X-Men'),"the Tomb of Dracula" & "the Falcon/Captain America"(Sam Wilson).
Can you do history of the Elementals(Hellfire, Magnum, Hydron and Zephyr), Bastion, Master Mold, Nimrod, Inferno, Victorious, Night Nurse, Moondragon, Phyla_Vell and Genis-Vell along with the Supreme Intelligence, Mole_Man and Angel/Archangel along with Exodus and Ex-Nhilo?
do Nightmare please
16:44 Well... basically one decade.
……. So he’s actually “The *ANDROID* Torch”
Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?
I've noticed you haven't done Doctor Strange yet. You should consider it, the history of the character is underrated but fascinating & Steve Ditko is an amazing artist who was ahead of his time! (Just ask the hippies of that time) LoL
In a way human torch,vision and wonder man are brothers
i think you should make a video about mole man
Do Gambit, please and thank you
Are you going to do history of lesser known characters like Rom_the_Spaceknight, Stingray, Ultimo, Inferno, Victorious, Flerken, Blacklash, Deathlok, Elematrix, Vertigo, Titanium_Man, Crimson Dynamo, Dreadknight, Hypnotia, Blizzard, Quasar, Starbrand, Nightmask, Bastion, Master Mold, Nimrod, Starhawk, Fixer, Whirlwind, Chemistro, Whiplash, the Controller, Madam_Masque, Count_Nefaria, Ava Ayala the White Tiger, Century, Lore and Technovore?
Have you heard of raven-cloth?
Jk
I created raven-cloth
Get well soon doll
I would like to see the origin of the pendragons
Get better soon I also recovered from covid. Hope you stay away from monkeypox as well
The OG!
~_~
The heartwarming tale of a flaming man and his flaming boy friend....
Yep, fun stuff.
A video about CANNONBALL would be GREAT..... Or perhaps the STARBRAND ..??
When are you going to do history of America-Chavez in honour of the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?
Flame on kid!!!
Can you do history of the Living_Brain, the Elementals, Cyclone, Hydro Man, Molten Man, the Spot, Sandman, Rom_the_Spaceknight, Stingray, Quasar, Starbrand, Nightmask, Ava Ayala the White Tiger, Century, Lore and Technovore?
❤
that retcon was really sloppy.
Can you do history of Ironheart, Jane Foster Thor, Eric Masterson_AKA_Thunderstrike, Amadeus_Cho, the Griever, Pepper Potts AKA Rescue and the Agents of Atlas along with Crescent, Morgan_Le_Fey, White Fox and Luna Snow?
I hated the fact they retcon Toro like they did Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch but I don't care cause I grew up reading about them being born mutants and to me they will always be mutants.
13:27 im sorry but Hitler was cloned!?
Yup, it is canon in Marvel that Hitler didn't commit suicide, he was executed for his crimes in the bunker by Jim Hammond, but Hitler ordered one of his men to spread the word that he killed himself. At some point Hitler was cloned, and that clone became a supervillain known as the Hate Monger.
@ crazy
Why doesn't the Torches man junk and finger tips burn off due of the heat levels achieved.
Like in the Fantastic 4, Jonny Flame, it makes no sense.
Not to mention vit feeds scary ideas to narcissistic kids to burn living things alive.
As if the KKK didn't that enough in the period this comic strip character was developed.
Because Johnny Storm is immune to his own powers and the heat he puts out, this isn't a difficult concept to understand.
jim hammond was the best torch.
Villains
I_ hope_ u_ get_ well,. soon_ (sorry so_ late!!!!)😞😒😣🐣😄😳😳😳😁😁😁
:+ D
cool video
