When Reed asks if, in Scott's experience, that's what generally happens, Scott replies, "Not ''always''. But we keep ''trying''."

Dorrie Evans was once the girlfriend of Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, back when he still lived in Glenville, Long Island, before he was famous. The town still adores him, even if he rarely visits, Now, it's his ten year high school reunion and everybody is waiting to see him return, but memories run deep.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When the owner of the Johnny Storm museum describes all the villains Johnny fought in Glenville, he describes, "Fake Captain America. Evil, Magic Bob Ross Painter Guy. Paste-Pot Pete."
* ContinuityNod: Due to the news reports, it's pretty easy to pinpoint exactly when this story takes place -- right during the Red Zone storyline in ''Avengers'' in 2003.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Everyone that is interviewed for the news, aside from Dorrie, describes Johnny Storm as pretty full of himself and kind of a jerk, even if he saved the town from supervillains. They hardly show any enthusiasm for his return for the reunion...until the reunion is over and everyone meets at the beach in order to have an ''actual'' party with Johnny, whom they were all just ''pretending'' to dislike so that supervillains wouldn't target them anymore. It turns out that pretty much the whole town likes him because he's actually a really nice guy.

''Marvels Snapshots'' is a series of one-shots released in 2020 and 2021 exploring the early days of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse through the viewpoint of non-superheroes.
