Human Torch vs. Storm

That's the definition of holding back.

I agree Storm wins but that scan isn't good evidence. Especially since direct confontations between characters are rarely fair.

He meant to kill her with the building, then held back.

The scan does prove that her winds snuff out his flame, if only momentarily, it is enough for her to hurl dibris at him with the same winds.

Just hit him with a lightning bolt and be done with it.

I thought it was kind of funny how she never tried to hit Johnny with a lightning bolt during their battle but went all Lightning Fury on Thor. 🙂

Storm strikes him with lightning ftw.

It's so funny how EASILY she wins this. It's almost mis-matched😆😆

I at least like to be creative with her powers, but she wins here easily.

Human Torch's heat halo deflects lightning back at Storm. Johnny ftw.

Storm't lightning is coming at an average of 93,000 mile per second.

He's dead before he can complete a thought.😐

Comics book physics is sometimes funny. For example, if Jonny tried to use Supernova on someone in closed room, everything in his vicinity (including probably Jonny himself) would be destroyed with a force Jonny has absolutely no control over- air pressure wave, created by burning the air round him.It's like vacuum bomb effect.

Though in small amounth and on some distance such attack is plausible...and the opponent gets extra hit with pressure wave.

As for the fight, I don't know. Storm's winds were shown being able to extinguish Jonny's flames multiple times. If Storm performs her STRONGEST wind attack on Human Torch, he would be blown off like a candle and have at least a couple of bones in his body broken...if not more. But sadly, both this and Supernova take time to perform- and at least a lot of concentration (the last is the reason why Human Torch is vulnerable to speedblitz in this state (if his opponent has protection from flames, of course)).
Due to multiple showings of Torch being extinguished by Storm, I'll probably give it to Storm- 5-6\10. That has nothing to do with my dislike of Human Torch...and neither I'm a great Storm fan.

Yeah. It's arbitrary how writers pick and choose which parts of reality they'll use in a story and which parts they'll ignore. So when it comes down to arguments like this it's a bit tricky but generally precedence in comics will carry more weight, I suppose.
