I thought i'd make a thread for the 1st torch to exist in the marvel universe(he's always been my favorite).anyway,here's something to start off



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_Human_Torch

here's the origin of jim hammond as seen in marvel comics #1.yes,marvel's first comic book.making the original human torch marvel's first hero(his story appeared first)

let us begin in the golden age of comics.i'll work my way up from there.


feat 1(marvel comics #3).torch first stops a huge,flying boulder in it's tracks,melting it.then he flys through a steel train like a hot knife through butter and rescues a small child.he's shown amazing control over flame from his very beginning in the GA of comics.he doesn't even burn the baby,who is surround by flames as he is held in jim's arms.not to mention that he melted the train while holding a moist blanket for the baby.also,the torch can run at superhuman speeds and leap great distances(i believe he did this before he learned how to fly):

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_mm003-08.jpg

feat 2(marvel comics #3)the human torch has enough control over his flame to melt the knife in a man's hand without harming him:


http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_mm003-06.jpg

feat 3(marvel comics #6).jim hammond is again showing great control over flame and heat by forming a solid forcefield of fire over him and another person to stop artillery shells:


http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_marvelmystery0606-1.jpg

feat 4(marvel comics #6)jim is apparently unaffected by electricity:

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_marvelmystery0607.jpg

You can lump more than 1 feat on a post to save room and make it more readable. Something like 8 thumbnails can fit on a post, or many, many more if you use links instead of thumbnails.

And the first appearance is fine, but after that make sure you limit this to feats only instead of entire issues. Otherwise, I'll have to end up editing them out due to copyright issues.

But I don't mean to be so negative. Nice thread, and I look forward to additions.

We all know you do.

jim utilizes incredible speed to melt his bondings just as soon as a saw cuts the thin layer of wrapping around him.then, he precisely stops flying bullets with a swirl of fire:

also,jim can be considered a bit of a brawler,but more on that later.lol:

THE HUMAN TORCH FIGHTS NAMOR THE SUB-MARINER! THE FIRST EVER MARVEL CROSSOVER EVENT!
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/Marvel65thAnniversaySpecial01Gol-17.jpg


he doesn't do to shabby either.if you've been to the legendary namor respect thread,you know just how formiddable this guy is.i guess that makes jim hammond pretty formiddable too.(just to clarify.i know namor hasn't had an official upgrade ever in his continuity and GA namor appears to be just as strong,but it's possibly that GA namor is maybe a tad less resistant than his other incarnations.still,fighting ANY incarnation of the sub-mariner does prove jim to be a pretty powerful opponent)

the fight begins in marvel comics

1.Torch throws a flaming swatiska at some nazi's(again,points on attitude).he also survives a grenade exploding right in front of him,so that points for endurance as well:

the original human torch is hotter than johnny .and no,i don't mean good looks.lol

jim can regularly(without going nova) produce "nova flame bursts" (highest intensity heat blasts, similar to the heat-pulse of a nuclear warhead).the heat-pulse of a nuclear war-head can reach temperatures equivalent to those in the interior of the sun.so yeah,just in case you didn't know,jim is hotter than johnny.

did someone ask for speed feats? well,here you go:

1.Torch rescues a girl and escapes far from a boat before a roulette table finishes it's spin:

as of now,if you want to see the original human torch(along with the original invaders) in action,you should check out the current limited(12 issue) avengers/invaders series.the first 4 issues have already come out,so you'd have to order them off a site or go to a comic shop that holds back-issues,but the next one comes out in october,and it shines the spotlight on torch,so if you wanna see the original human torch alive and kicking in the modern age,check it out.

well,this is the end of the road for the torch.............at least for the golden age.here are just a few assorted feats that i haven't shown yet.after this,there's just torch's fight with a giant dinosuar,then that's it for the golden age.



but later,we enter the silver age,where the original human torch schools johnny storm!


1.Torch once again shows his fighting prowess by quickly KOing an armed man before he gets a shot off.he does this even though he is somewhat disorientated from carbon dioxide gas:

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/humantorch38pg12.jpg

It's the original human torch and toro vs a giant dinosaur! the dinosaur is extremely resistant to fire and unaffected by artillery shells,but torch thinks of his feet:

Jim shows johnny why he is the original.jim is under mind control and trying to fight it,but it is clear he has the upper hand.he is stronger,larger,and more experienced.johnny first trys to run.then he trys a sneak attack.johnny begins to fight him,but he's not even hurting him.then jim hits johnny with a special flame that even hurts him.after this jim apparently gives johnny a revitalizing flame on purpose.it's clear jim doesn't really want to harm him,but it is also clear who's the better torch.The Original Human Torch:

Jim Hammond re-surfaces for the first time in the silver-age since his encounter with johnny(it might be considered the bronze age,i don't know).it is in the Giant-Size Invaders #1 June,1975. even in this new age,torch is quickly identified as master of all flame,even speaking to them:

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_TheInvadersGS1Pg20.jpg

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_TheInvadersGS1Pg31.jpg

I'm just amazed, A thread like this with so many scans, its ridiculous. You get best respect thread so far for the year (Maybe next to my Rulk)

thanks again.I was suprised myself a while back when i found there were so many original human torch appearances available to me.i wanted to put them to good use





on another note: Next, Jim hammond is brought back from the grave in the pages of West Coast Avengers . Oh,and in case you didn't know,that invader series that was written in the 70's,actually took place in the days of WW2.so yeah,Jim's been in the ground since after his fight with johnny,although not really "dead".not much to show you there,after that i'll move on to his 90's limited series,and maybe a little something from Marvels(i love that artwork).Later,there's The New Invaders and then finally,Avengers/Invaders(i assume i'll get more feats from that series as the months pass.i can't wait to show you guys the one where he scorches venom.lol)

Torch returns in WCA #50 after being deactivicated and put into his grave by "the mad thinker" when he refused to continue to fight the FF:

3.Torch flames on for the first time in decades to engage a group of demonic creatures:

9.Torch jams his finger into the barrel of a nazi gun and it explodes(i assume he also killed the soldier,since he says, "I'm ashamed to say i didn't much care that there was a human being on the other end".)After this,a man attempts to slay jim with a sword,which melts on contact with his body.then,someone attempts to kill him with a flamethrower.yeah........a flamethrower:

Jim Hammond engages Namor the sub-mariner once more in the pages of Marvels #1.it's actually a recap of a fight between them in the golden age that i missed(i know i've seen it,i just can't seem to find it):

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_Marvels01Large-42.jpg

Next up,Jim teams up with the new invaders.this is the last series he appears in before his death(in the last issue).After he left the WCA,he lead the heroes for hire(although powerless),then after that,he took over the the V-battalion for Citizen V before ending up with the invaders.His power is slowly coming back in this series,and he adopts a new costume.

torch's new costume:

Jim appears in New Invaders #1

1.Torch enters a conflict area of the new invaders as he is invited by it's leader(thin man).at the time,he's still apart of the V-battalion.His helicopter crash lands when attacked by flying enemies,and although torch is injured in the blast,and he has lost his ability to fly along with his full power of flame,he proves himself to still be useful:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_i-01-02.jpg

2.Torch takes out multiple enemies with his flame(which is now like pink for some reason).it appears he has lost the ability to envelop himself in flame.also note the fact that his flame appears where he wants it to,instead of him just shooting flames at a target.i smell pyrokenesis::
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_i-01-05.jpg

3.Torch saves thin man's butt,while he speaks of his concern for for his health.how ironic:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_i-01-06.jpg

4.Torch meets Tara,A synthetic android based on himself.he has a certain affinity for her and later comes to think of her a a daughter of sorts:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_i-01-10.jpg

5.Torch reunites with spitfire,to the dismay of union jack:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_i-01-13.jpg

6.Torch is angered by the way they treat Tara, him being an adroid himself.They leave her undressed,he orders them to get her some clothes:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_i-01-14.jpg

more from New Invaders



1.Torch and namor have a little talk after namor sneaks up on him.I believe he says something like "sneak up on me again,and i'll show you my recipe for blackened sea king."even so,namor and torch are good friends,although their friendship is..........complex.

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_TheNewInvaders022004English17.jpg

3.Torch gets mad.He shows us what he's capable of,even when considerably depleted:

1.Torch throws a flaming swatiska at some nazi's(again,points on attitude).he also survives a grenade exploding right in front of him,so that points for endurance as well:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/humantorch1232.jpg

2.Torch rats out some mobsters,by leaving a flame-written message in the streets to tip off the police:

3.lol,Torch makes a stringer of fiery confetti to trap some criminals:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/Marvel_Mystery_Comics_19_page10.jpg

4.torch makes a giant test-tube and puts a criminal scientist into it.irony and attitude at it's best!:

5.Torch tricks a few mobsters into going where he wants them to by making a fence with the words "detour" atop them:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/marvelmystery21_05.jpg

6.Torch first wraps a rope of fire around a criminal from his head to his toes without harming him.then he makes a pair of fiery masks for 2 criminals that won't hurt them as long as they don't move:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/Marvel_Mystery_Comics_19_page12.jpg



made some corrections here.i'll finish his New Invaders feats later.

i might as well finish this

here's torch in New Invaders #5:

1.Torch talks about his strange connection with spitfire every since he gave her the first blood transfusion:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_Untitled-Scanned-06.jpg

2.Torch scorches multiple vampire enemies:

3.Torch scorches a singular vampire:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_Untitled-Scanned-19.jpg

4.Torch catches a stride,and everybody dies.notice he didn't hurt any of his teammates though(power control):

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_Untitled-Scanned-21.jpg

last batch before his death in New Invaders #9, then there's Avengers/Invaders


1.Torch agrees to lead the invaders.Namor supports his decision:

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_New-Invaders-07-07.jpg

2.Torch has a talk with the somewhat naive android Tara about posing in the nude for the other team members.:

3.Torch scorches U-man:

4.Torch and Cap.fighting side by side for the last time before both of their deaths:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_Invaders082005page14.jpg

5.Torch shows a healing factor here.he's been shot and recovers at the same scene, same issue shortly after with no signs of injury:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_Invaders082005page19.jpg
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_Invaders082005page21.jpg

Torch dies in New Invaders #9. The thing is,he dies of a heat overload,which is completely stupid,seeing as he's completely and utterly immune to heat.I expected as much from a series that had wolverine beat the snot out of namor.


anyway,torch dies to save the andriod Tara,who he looked at as a daughter.she was a weapon of the enemy,and she was set to overload and take everyone with her.torch took her energy and overloaded himself.it was an admirable death.too bad it was unneccessary.nothing but a attempt to bring significance to a series that only lasted 9 issues by destroying marvel's most important historical figure.anyway,what's done is done.

Looking at all the feats of badassery that jim hammond commits,it makes me sad that so many know little of him.i mean,the guy already frequently mouths off to and challenges namor,who's probably the most badass hotheaded "hero" in the history of marvel comics.then there's the fact that he incinerated hitler!.that's probably the most badass feat of badassery there's ever been.but no that's not all,i've recently found another feat for you guys(whoever you are) to enjoy.just like the sub-mariner,Jim Hammond gets into a fight with and owns none other then venom.


first he has a nice little talk with him(basically expressing his disgust for his appearance).then he explains to him that he's never met his kind and how he won't be stopped by a nazi(he thinks he's a nazi).then there comes the flames

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_AvengersInvaders-002.jpg

here bucky says that he thinks jim is the most powerful member of the team(i'd say namor is though)
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_AvengersInvaders-008.jpg

darn. i was sure he'd get some posts for scorching venom.

more from Avengers/Invaders,


1.Torch fights his WCA teammate wonderman.it's short,and torch does pretty well.first he appears to be physically struggling agaist him(strength feat), then he gives him a good right.wonderman suckers him though when he's distracted because toro's in trouble. what a douche

2.Torch is encased in a cell of raining water(although still mustering up his flame).he uses a technique to try and disable a guy that enters in,he does,but not in the way he wanted.the guy was a robot.

3.Torch identifies with the robot that he disabled.he is somewhat like him:

4.Torch engages ironman.i believe that is a fiery hand he catches him with.maybe we'll see the outcome of this fight next issue.maybe it was just a short skirmmish though, and in that case,that makes it a stalemate

note also that jim's atomic flame is hot enough to melt his armor.

JIM HAMMOND DID KILL HIM! he was brought back to life by immortus and rama-tut in Giant-sized Avengers v1. #3. that's quite a feat.

torch is a threat

oh, and here in the scan of Avengers #131. the guy who brought the human torch back(kang, i believe) states that torch can threaten vision's physical being, make what you want of that

just wanted to add these two pages i deemed insignificant at first. but one shows hammond doing something pretty cool,so i thought i'd add them.thanks to supertorch400 from herchat.com for supplying the two scans. i sure as hell didn't wanna spend time uploading them.lol:

Great Respect thread, man.

thanks. +1 to the number of posts that aren't mine

Good stuff, did you post any Heroes for Hire stuff with him?

+2, but don't worry about low posts because I have made many respect threads and I don't get many replies.

i could post some heroes for hire stuff. i have em. never bothered to post it though. maybe i'll skim through it again and see if there's something worth posting about him there.


i've seen some of your threads.if they don't always get many posts then i definitely shouldn't be whining.lol, but really, i love that hawkman/hawkgirl thread.

found some cool stufff in Heroes for Hire, thanks -K-M-:

1.Torch shows the other members of the HFH that he still gots it.....kind of. he seems to amaze herc who exclaims "by zeus". Jim is still the tactical leader of this team first though, proving he's more than a flaming fireball:

2.another feat of endurance.Jim walks out of an explosion completely unharmed:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_HeroesForHire12p21.jpg

3.This one is impressive. Jim puts Thena, THE ETERNAL, down with a hook.although she didn't expect it and torch was under mind-control, he still gave her a run.there's also another endurance feat here.Thena use her telekenetic powers to slam hammond hard against a wall, but he is unphazed, even though i'd assume she was really trying to rough him up. seeing as she said she'd destroy him and all

Great work. I salute Jim Hammond!

thank you

nice thread hes a cool character i might just get some comics with him it them, i find his interaction with Tara funny

johnny storm is cool, but i always thought jim hammond was way cooler. the original torch is one of the most important comic book creations ever. he ability looks back to man's fascination with fire. his origin looks to the future/sci-fi since he is an android. john

Fresh Hammond Appearances!:

You're leaving KMC?

not until i'm done here.........but yeah.

the avengers/invaders series won't be over for some time though, so i'll post on and off until it's over and i've ran out of feats.

So why exactly are you leavin us? Is it because we're black?

lol,no not exactly. that would be wierd, since i'm black and all.

idk really, guess i just grow tired of the same old routine. sorta have to feel like there's someone to advocate to post.

Hey me too! We're brothers, we're happy and singing and we're colored!

I guess you can't be forced to stay or anything. It would be better if you did but oh well, godspeed good sir.

thanks. meanwhile though, those feats'll keep comin'

I've always wanted to know more about Jim Hammond. He's the original and the best torch period. Fantastic respect thread. I now know so much about this character.

Would you be willing to do one about another hero who gets no respect, Wonderman? I woud do it but don't know how.

Anyway, great job my man!

I believe wonderman has one already. check the marvel threads.


and thanks man

Fantastic thread. This is a character that hasn't always been handled well, but remains a favorite, as does Namor. All Jim Hammond fans need to check out Captain America #45, currently on sale. Ed Brubaker is doing something with the character, and Namor is coming in next month as well. Should be a good story.

from Avengers/Invaders #8:

Willpower Feat
Hammond overcomes extreme weakness due to draining along with Ultron's mental influence. He also manages to knock off a few life model decoys in the process:

Why is he called the Human Torch when he is a robot?

I always assumed it's because he was meant to be potrayed as less of a robot and more of an artificial, synthetic human being(which he usually is).......But really, no ones knows.lol

He's really uber for a fire guy

which makes me ask, is that normal fire?

he is most biological. like he had dna and synthetic blood, and stuff. Just artifical bones and parts

Torch #1 Variant

Avengers/Invaders #12 :

Torch fights and is killed by an enraged, and slightly confused thor, who is fighting for adolph hitler:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_Avengers-Invaders12004-05.jpghttp://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_Avengers-Invaders12007.jpg

he's resurrected in the same issue here by the cosmic cube(he is still currently dead):
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_Avengers-Invaders12016-17.jpg

torch is a beast, but not unexpectedly, thor going all out proved too much to handle(hammond simply lacks the durability to take attacks of that caliber)........still, i'd like to point back to a time where hammond blocked that same god lightning which ended him with a fireball:
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/Thor_Corps_2_02.jpg

anyway, toro, torch's flaming sidekick, also resurrects into modern marvel continuity here, which sets the stage for torch's return in Torch #1, which involves toro and the mad thinker:

Captain America #423 :

Jim Hammond fights namor. ironically, this is the only time hammond's flame is actually shown to have a dehydrating effect on him:

I just decided to show these torch/namor encounters from the golden age...........being a huge fan of namor i had previously declared these too disgraceful on his behalf to be shown, back when i was showing golden age feats......but this is the hammond respect thread, not namor's, so here goes nothin:

Torch boils namor.....namor runs
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_HT18.jpg

Torch whoops namor in a hand to hand fight after namor begs him to "give him a chance" and not use flame

Torch burns namor.......namor runs
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_HT46.jpg

Namor begs hammond for his life on both knees........according to namor, "Ceasar had his Brutus, Napolean had his Waterloo, and I have, The Torch"

THE TORCH #2! HAMMOND RESSURECTS!:

The answer to a 70 year old mystery! Why the torch flames up

"The Torch's body cells accumulate heat energy and use it to mimic the processes of life. They were meant to be the engine that powered him--and made him move. Insert footnote. Combustion almost certainly no more than a side effect"
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_002_006.jpg

The torch is molecularly reconstructed and injected with a mind control device. He is ressurrected frankenstein style, with no memory of who he is

Torch is tested by his controllers, flying to, and destroying a ship

The Marvels Project #3:

The Torch bests Namor in their first ever encounter........note that Namor is seriously ticked, but still vanquished rather quickly(maybe rage works against more often than not.....i'm not sure)

The Order #7:

According to Henry Hellrung of The Order, one of Namor and Torch's old-time brawls caused"pound for pound and dollar for dollar as much damage as the attack on Pearl Harbor"
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Order_7_DCP_0009-10.jpg

great job! I like Jim better than Johnny anyway.

The Torch #3:

Destroys an entire country's air fleet rather quickly
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_003_005.jpghttp://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_003_006.jpg

Then destroys a small town in the same country
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_003_010.jpghttp://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_003_011.jpg

As the town burns, torch's control are damaged, and he plunges into the sea, dropping to below -20 celsius, causing the mind controlling "compound D" to fail......Jim Flames up while still under the sea, and flys out
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_003_013.jpghttp://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_003_014.jpghttp://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_003_015.jpg

Hammond takes some of his anger out on some AIM agents......one fireball seems to cause sufficient damage......he also rejuvenated Toro with his flame
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_003_017.jpghttp://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_003_018.jpg

Namor becomes infected with compound D from a spill.....looks like Namor and torch might do battle......again, but for the first time since the WW2 era

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/The_Torch_003_023.jpg

The Torch #4:

The Torch is freed from the thinker's direct control, but apparently has lost most or all of his ability to express or feel human emotion......very much like a plight the 2nd vision endured once(ironic, seeing as jim is the vision, technically)
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_004_009.jpghttp://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_004_010.jpg

there Hammond goes again, throwing around strict commands with a stone-cold face as if he already knows his opposition can't win......much like in Avengers/Invaders........what I'm wondering is will he be just as uber.
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/namorsubby/original%20human%20torch/th_The_Torch_004_021.jpg

Pretty good physical durability/flame endurance feat......mind controlled Namor suckers Hammond good and he flies into the water.....he swiftly returns to do battle, apparently unharmed and without even having to reflame(in this whole series he's been showing high resistance to water). Can't wait to see how this plays out

The Torch #5:

Hammond takes on compound D possessed namor. Jim first shrugs off a blow and trys to reason with him, then retaliates with one of his own when namor attempts to infect him. In the end, the other torches, Johnny and Toro, arrive and quickly KO him by overheating his spinal fluid.....since Namor's skin is fireproof, and cannot be simply dehydrated by it, like I said a million times. Hammond knew Namor was fireproof, but also knew he could still be overheated, no doubt because of their long, and sometimes fuedal history.

Hammond quickly shows why he is the best torch. wise and experienced...never hot-heated and rash.

Hammond boasts that he can and will destroy the earth with flame if the Mad Thinker takes control

Marvels Project #6:

The Torch Vs. Namor......Round 2

Namor is extremely enraged and catches Hammond by susprise, but still Hammond attempts to reason with him as he attacks(wasted effort, no doubt.lol) Still though, when Hammond begins to attack, Namor is not too enraged to forget the defeat he suffered at his hands earlier, and he evades Hammond's blasts at all costs. In the end, Namor comes out with the victory, but considering what a young level-headed Namor has done to Wonderman and Ares simnultaneously, I'd say Jim preformed well.lol

Jim Hammond and Toro engaging planes. He easily flies through them, he can destroy individual planes using only one blast, and even shows some strength ripping off the metal barred window of a fighter plane.

Still yet to finish off The Torch mini have'nt got 'The Torch #5'


also not sure if you've seen it namorsubby The Invaders book is coming back.

Awesome thread, and very good taste in characters.

Looking foward to the new Invaders, I love pretty much everyone on that team.
