Why Johnny Storm Doesn't Smoke Anymore.

15 posts in this topic

I would imagine that the ability to turn one's body into a flaming inferno at mental command would have caused quite a problem in enclosed spaces.

 

Unless, of course, he was a Partial-Zero Emission Human Torch....

who cares

 

My general response nowadays after reading FF. In issue 6 no member of the FF appeared and the entire issue's events would have taken Lee and Kirby about three pages to cover.

He's dead?

 

He was "killed" off in a Marvel Comic. That is proof that he still lives.

 

he was not killed he was simply trapped in the negative zone surrounded by bad guys i thought they kind of left that one open for a return (shrug)

So Storm doesn't smoke anymore because Annihilus doesn't allow smoking in the Negative Zone?

 

Which then raises the question: if the Negative Zone is an antimatter universe, making what is positive in our universe negative and vice-versa, wouldn't smoking in the Negative Zone be a healthy thing?

That is why I put killed in quotation marks.

You can start buying FANTASTIC FOUR again in a few months when it gets renumbered at #600.

This is the issue where Johnny Storm is found alive and well in the clutches of Psycho-Man who saved him from Annihilus and the bloody hordes of the Negative Zone.

Psycho-Man finds an empath in the Zone that overloads his emotions to turn him into a sort of Galactus-type unfeeling being who knows neither good or evil.

He saves Johnny only because he recognizes him from his past.

The BRUTE/Reed Richards of Counter-Earth, who was tossed into the Zone back in FF #183, has finally drifted back to where Psycho-Man and Johnny are. The Brute explains how Blastaar had cloned him prior to being found by the Tyannans in FF Unlimited #3 (a complex plan of betrayal against Annihilus).

So everything that happened to the Brute from this point on was actually his clone.

The Brute is still a good being rather than evil (remember the bonk on the head?).

So the Brute, having the brilliant mind of Reed Richards since he is a Reed, deduced that they could actually reverse the polarity of their very atoms while ionizing the protons of these same atoms using the complex machinery at Psycho-Man's disposal.

This in turn would automatically expel them from the Zone thus ending up back in the Baxter Building.

What a way to end #600....the original FF back together again with Spidey watching from afar, who ends up removing the FF uniform and quitting the team.

Plausible. Except at the current glacial story-telling pace of many modern comics, this arc will occupy FF 7 until it becomes Fantastic Four 600 until Spidey quits the team in Fantastic Four 678 and then 679 and 680 will be tributes to Spidey right before 681 starts Three, part II, in which a different member of the team "dies."

 

This will open the door to FF, Vol. 2, which leads, not surprisingly, into the big issue 700, when Wolverine or Deadpool quits the team.
