Respect The Original Human Torch(Jim Hammond)

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)

part 1:

part 2:

part 3:

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):

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:

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:

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

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:

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
