The Human Torch (no, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour not that one]]) was a character and ongoing anthology story created by Carl Burgos in 1939 for Timely Comics, which would become Creator/MarvelComics, anthology ''ComicBook/MarvelMysteryComics''. He debuted in the first issue and would go on to have his own comic series, cross over with the ComicBook/SubMariner and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, and join ComicBook/TheAvengers. He is still appearing in comics in 2019.

* AmbiguousRobots: Due to [[DependingOnTheWriter the inconsistent way that different writers portray him]], the specifics of the Torch's artificial nature are often hazy. On the one hand, he's been shown to be "grown" in a man-sized tube, can eat and drink, has genetic material, and can donate blood -- on the other hand, his creator Dr. Horton is sometimes portrayed as a roboticist, his cells are made out of plastic and carbon polymers, he doesn't seem to need food, water or even air, and the Scarlet Witch once used her hex powers to "deactivate" the Torch like a robot.
* ArtificialHuman: The Torch is visually indistinguishable from a human being aside from bursting into flame when exposed to oxygen-rich air. On the anatomical level, his body is made of synthetic materials, with ceramic bones and plastic polymers in his cells -- however, his blood is compatible with humans to the point that he's a universal donor, and he even has genetic material.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: He is an android who spontaneously combusts when in the presence of oxygen. Until he learns about nitrogen and then doesn't. Also, flames apparently obey him. And he can carry fabric sometimes while he's on fire, while at other times he's melting steel.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Whether the Torch is more of an ArtificialHuman or a {{Ridiculously Human Robot|s}} seems to depend on who's writing him at the time. Sometimes he's biological enough to be a universal blood donor and have genetic material, while other times, he doesn't need air to survive and can be "deactivated" like a mechanical robot.
* EatingMachine: Despite his name, the Human Torch is an android, and he is capable of eating and drinking. He doesn't seem to require it, though, being powered by photoelectric cells in his artificial skin.
* ElementalArmor: When flamed up, his fire is so hot that, sometimes, bullets melt before they can reach him.
%%* {{Flight}}
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Sometimes it's thought that he's a bad guy or even actually behind what he's trying to stop. {{Justified|Trope}} in that, not only is his power inherently destructive, but his first appearance in the world resulted in quite a lot of destruction, almost certainly the deaths of innocents, and definitely the deaths of criminals, and he killed his creator and has been known to act contrary to the police.
* InASingleBound: The Torch can't fly (at this point in time, not even Superman could fly), but he might as well. He leaps at times over small mountains.
* KillItWithFire: The Torch does not especially shy away from killing his foes.
* LightningBruiser: He's the precursor to Johnny Storm, who's 6'3 and 300 lbs.
* TheMafia: Many of his foes were generic mobsters -- supervillains hadn't been invented yet.
** FunetikAksent: Many bad guys are written with phonetic "Joisey" accents.
* NeverGivenAName: The Torch's creator never gave him a humanlike name, he was just "the Torch". He eventually, several stories in, takes the human alias Jim Hammond.
* NighInvulnerability: Nothing really seems to harm him.
* PlayingWithFire: Control of fire is his primary ability. Not just that he can create and throw it, but fire appears to actively obey him. His most impressive feats include not just melting but ''sublimating'' sheets of steel.
** FingerSnapLighter: Lighting people's cigars is a common way for him to prove his identity or powers.
** {{Fireballs}}: He throws fire, with various body parts.
** RingOfFire: He traps people in rings of fire, usually from a distance.
** WreathedInFlames: His primary power is that he's on fire.
* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Even in stories where it starts with the Torch on the wrong side of the law, by the end he is usually forgiven and right all along. {{Enforced|Trope}}, more or less, by the era; it would be difficult to find comic books before the '70s where this isn't the case, unless they are presented as a villain. The ComicBook/SubMariner is an interesting aversion.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: The Torch is an android, but no one seems to know that who wasn't told.
* RobotSuperhero: The Torch [[ArtificialHuman isn't truly mechanical]], but he otherwise fits the bill. An android created by Professor Phineas T. Horton, the Torch rejects his creator's proposal to use his powers for money and fame and instead became one of the first superheroes in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: In early installments, at least, the Torch is still using his power for ''good'', but that doesn't mean he has any problem committing wanton destruction of property, escaping (and destroying) jail, resisting the police, letting bad guys die... His mindset is that because he's ''right'' and going after the real bad guy, the actual law doesn't matter.
* SuperSpeed: He ran/leapt a two-day car journey in a day or less.
* SuperStrength: He can lift steel beams and catch hurtling boulders.
* ThinkNothingOfIt: He seems to do heroics for the sake of themselves and tells grateful people not to mention it.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: In the first issue, The Torch desired to return to the scientist who created him but turned his back on him and goes it alone once he realizes he just wanted to exploit him like the mobsters he just dealt with... [[AccidentalMurder and then apparently promptly and unapologetically attempted to kill him]].

* AmbiguousRobots: Due to [[DependingOnTheWriter the inconsistent way that different writers portray him]], the specifics of the Torch's artificial nature are often hazy. On the one hand, he's been shown to be "grown" in a man-sized tube, can eat and drink, has genetic material, and can donate blood -- on the other hand, his creator Dr. Horton is sometimes portrayed as a roboticist, his cells are made out of plastic and carbon polymers, he doesn't seem to need food, water or even air, and Magneto once used his magnetic powers to "deactivate" the Torch like a robot.

* EatingMachine
* ElementalArmor: When flamed up, his fire is so hot that, sometimes, bullets melt before they can reach him.
* {{Flight}}
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Sometimes it's thought that he's a bad guy or even actually behind what he's trying to stop.
** {{Justified}} in that, not only is his power inherently destructive, but his first appearance in the world resulted in quite a lot of destruction, almost certainly the deaths of innocents, and definitely the deaths of criminals, and he killed his creator and has been known to act contrary to the police.
* InASingleBound: The Torch can't fly (at this point in time, not even Superman could fly), but he might as well. He leaps at times over small mountains.
* KillItWithFire: The Torch does not especially shy away from killing his foes.
* LightningBruiser: He's the precursor to Johnny Storm, who's 6'3 and 300 lbs.
* TheMafia: Many of his foes were generic mobsters -- supervillains hadn't been invented yet.
** FunetikAksent: Many bad guys are written with phonetic "Joisey" accents.
* NeverGivenAName: The Torch's creator never gave him a humanlike name, he was just "the Torch". He eventually, several stories in, takes the human alias Jim Hammond.
* NighInvulnerability: Nothing really seems to harm him.
* PlayingWithFire: Control of fire is his primary ability. Not just that he can create and throw it, but fire appears to actively obey him. His most impressive feats include not just melting but ''sublimating'' sheets of steel.
** FingerSnapLighter: Lighting people's cigars is a common way for him to prove his identity or powers.
** {{Fireballs}}: He throws fire, with various body parts.
** RingOfFire: He traps people in rings of fire, usually from a distance.
** WreathedInFlames: His primary power is that he's on fire.
* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Even in stories where it starts with the Torch on the wrong side of the law, by the end he is usually forgiven and right all along.

* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: The Torch is an android, but no one seems to know that who wasn't told.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: In early installments, at least, the Torch is still using his power for ''good'', but that doesn't mean he has any problem committing wanton destruction of property, escaping (and destroying) jail, resisting the police, letting bad guys die... His mindset is that because he's ''right'' and going after the real bad guy, the actual law doesn't matter.
* SuperSpeed: He ran-slash-leapt a two day car journey in a day or less.
