Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Storyverse)

Johnny Storm is a main character of the Tim Story Fantastic Four film series. He was played by Chris Evans.

Intentional Bad Qualities

 * 1) Johnny is quite a jerk to Ben, Reed and his sister Sue. He’s arguably the most unlikable of the team.
 * 2) He is a womanizer at heart throughout most of the first movie.
 * 3) One of his shots in the first movie was lazily recycled but with the 4 on his chest shown in the opposite side.
 * 4) He promoted the Fantastic Four to spite Ben, Reed and Sue.
 * 5) After getting on fire for the first time, he asks Nurse Kelly if they have sex, which is too much for a PG-13 superhero film.
 * 6) He is the least productive of the team and likes hanging out at parties and sports events.
 * 7) He repeatedly ignored Reed’s protocols.
 * 8) His screentime was reduced in the second movie.
 * 9) In the extended version of the first film, he heats up an elevator, causing women to take their clothes off.
 * 10) He is a literal hothead.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He is really quotable and funny. His lines were mostly improv from Evans.
 * 2) In the extended version of the first film, he gets some character development and understands that his powers can be deadly. Also in the second movie, he acts more productive.
 * 3) Chris Evans did a great job portraying as Johnny.
 * 4) In his fire form, he looks so lifelike with the CGI.
 * 5) He helped convince Reed that he always thinks but never acts.
 * 6) He uses his iconic catchphrase “Flame on” like in the comics.
 * 7) His costume is very comic book accurate.
 * 8) The prototype Thing toy he demonstrated to Ben inspired the Thing’s iconic catchphrase, which is much more believable than in the 2015 film.
 * 9) After getting touched by the Surfer, he is able to touch his teammates and switch powers like Super Skrull.
 * 10) He is definitely not as bad as what he is in the 2015 flim.

Trivia

 * Evans reprised his role in a 2005 video game and an episode of Robot Chicken.
 * Chris Evans was considered to reprise his role in Deadpool 2 but it didn’t work out.
 * His Human Torch form was originally more realistic but was changed for being too frightening.
