After the step leader and the streamer meet, the ionized air (plasma) has completed its journey to the earth, leaving a conductive path from the cloud to the earth. With this path complete, current flows between the earth and the cloud.

The Human Torch possesses the mental ability to control ambient heat energy and the physical ability to envelop his entire body or portionsof his body with fiery plasma without harm to himself.
If the path if ionized air necessary to create a path for lightning met with the plasma field around his body wouldn't that interrupt any conduction?
Perhaps there's no precedent in the comics. I'm not sure.

Storm can target and control her lightning with a good degree of accuracy. Coupled with comic physics and since I'll bet she's hit stranger things (and Torch has probably been hit by lightning before) I'd say he has no defense against a blast of lighting execpt being faster than Storm.
How come Torch can tak e SOLID MAJORITY, yet Storm handles him EASILY on panel.
There are actually a couple different theories on lightining, only thing for sure is, they involve positive and negative charges.
How did you come up with "interupt the conduction"??
Electrical charge has nothing to do with fire with regard to it being an option for Torch's demise.
If that is true, Storm can EASILY extinquish his flame with wind, or a vaccum, and THEN fry him with lightining.馃槓

Well, if what I said would hold true it wouldn't matter how accurate she was since the "circuit" wouldn't be completed. Though comic book physics could negate that line of reasoning entirely. I mean, even spider-man could dodge lightning somehow (Secret Wars when he fights the X-Men).

Basicly the end of my post was a long way of saying comic logic negates your reasoning.
Spidey can dodge due to his precog giving him prior warning. Presumably at the first stages of the bolt forming.
