The Book of Human Torch (Jim Hammond)
The Book of Human Torch (Jim Hammond) C3G MARVEL PUBLIC EXCLUSIVE COLLETION 5 ALIENS AND ANDROIDS The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Secret Invasion set. Its model number and name are #017/ Human Torch. _________________________________________________________________ Character Bio - In the late 1930's, Professor Phineas Horton was approached in secret by the U.S. Government to construct an artificial man to combat the growing Nazi threat. The professor agreed and set to work creating 'Jim Hammond', an android who would appear and act perfectly human. To Horton's surprise, the artificial man's synthetic blood burst into flame upon being exposed to oxygen, causing 'The Human Torch' (as deemed by the press) to be considered a menace by the government. Hammond set out to learn to control his powers, seeking to better understand and be accepted by humanity. This venture led him first to the NYPD, and eventually to a new career as a crime fighter; in doing so, fanning the flames of the movement that would usher in a new age of marvelous heroes! _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: The BOOK of Human Torch (Jim Hammond) DESIGN PHASE
NAME = Human Torch
SECRET IDENTITY = Jim Hammond SPECIES = Android UNIQUENESS = Unique Hero CLASS = Crime Fighter PERSONALITY = Dauntless SIZE/HEIGHT = Medium 5 LIFE = 5 MOVE = 6 RANGE = 5 ATTACK = 5 DEFENSE = 4 POINTS = 150 FIREBALL SPECIAL ATTACK Range 5. Attack 4. If Human Torch inflicts 1 or more wounds on a figure with this special attack, before placing Wound Markers, you may choose either the defending figure or a figure adjacent to the defending figure. After wounds are placed, roll 1 unblockable attack die against the chosen figure for each wound inflicted in that attack. Figures with the Lava Resistant special power are not affected by this special attack. LAVA RESISTANT Human Torch never rolls for molten lava damage or lava field damage and does not have to stop in molten lava spaces. FLYING Ok, make sure this looks good. Legacy Text:
Spoiler Alert!

Re: The BOOK of Human Torch (Jim Hammond) DESIGN PHASE
Cool beans!
Question for pondering: Does he have Super Strength? I could find no specific mention, but he did regularly go toe-to-toe with Namor, and he is an Android. Just leaving room for better knowledge than me. |

Re: The BOOK of Human Torch (Jim Hammond) DESIGN PHASE
This is the criteria that I roughly remember for Super Strength:
Can he bust down a door? Can he lift 1,000 lbs? Can he fall from a building and not go splat? |

Re: The BOOK of Human Torch (Jim Hammond) DESIGN PHASE
Alright, a few thoughts...
- Crime Fighter I can buy, though something like "Protector" or "Adventurer" or "Lawman" would also be applicable. I think that Crime Fighter is going to have some JSA synergy attached, though, and he'd fit in there smoothly so that'd be cool. - Not sure I buy Fearless as a personality; he has human emotions, so he does, literally, feel fear. Bold, Brave, Dauntless, Dedicated, Resolute, Valiant... all better choices, if you ask me. - I feel like his Life and Defense could both use a boost. He's iron-tough, even if he's designed to be humanoid. Really, I feel like his point cost should be closer to 200 than 150. He's about on par with the modern Human Torch, if not even stronger. Also, a no on super strength. Outside of the fire and flying he's pretty much just a normal guy. Only, y'know, a robot. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: The BOOK of Human Torch (Jim Hammond) DESIGN PHASE
Though at times they seemed to have portrayed him that way, the official stance now seems to be that he does NOT have Superstrength.

FIREBALL SPECIAL ATTACK
Range: 5. Attack: 4. If Human Torch inflicts 1 or more wounds on a figure with this special attack, after placing those wounds, you may choose either the defending figure or a figure adjacent to the defending figure. Roll 1 additional attack die for each wound inflicted. For each additional skull rolled, you may inflict 1 additional wound on the chosen figure. Figures with the Lava Resistant Special Power are not affected by Fireball Special Attack. |
