The Human Torch Evolution in Movies & Cartoons (1967-2025) Johnny Storm | Fantastic Four

The Human Torch, Johnny Storm, debuted in the 1967 Fantastic Four animated series with a classic Jack Kirby art style. He appeared in the 1978 series, but licensing issues replaced him with the robot HERBIE. In 1994's Fantastic Four: The Animated Series, Johnny's look evolved with darker tones. Chris Evans played him in the 2005 live-action film, followed by an anime-style version in 2006's Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes. The 2015 reboot featured Michael B. Jordan. Joseph Quinn will portray a 60s throwback version in the upcoming MCU adaptation.

I just love that Chris Evans got to play both Human Torch and Captain America.

“The Human Torch is denied a bank loan”.

[@user-pm6nx1fs2w]

I actually really liked his fire look in the 2015 film, because it looked almost exactly like he normally does in the books

[@MarvinMartinez2001]

Human torch has been revealed in a new poster it’s so comic accurate too!!!

[@CorbinLeonard-rp4et]

[@_davidboxing]

Woahhh I forgot about the 2006 cartoon show

[@matteodelseta]

You seem to be pretty critical about Human Torch, while most of the times, I loved it. Especially, when it was Chris Evans. Hell, I even liked him more as Human Torch, rather than as Captain America...

[@eugenegodzilla946]

Fire

[@luissierra8372]

Can you do Evolution of Invisible Woman (2025) please?

[@alfonsopina3976]

Zac Efron Should’ve been Casted as the Human Torch/ Johnny Storm for Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four Remake

[@milutinstankovic4638]

What about Austin Butler?(Elvis,Dune Part 2)

[@user-dm5zj2qh3x]

[@juliuscastillon9554]

Michael B Jordan Human Torch looks more Sunspot from X-Men

[@rifleorcagames]

wowwwwwwwwwww

[@yinthedraconequus4818]

4:42 Johnny is more awesome when he absorbed the whole team’s powers.

[@kali3665]

I don't really get Marvel TL;DR, but it's pretty much the approach taken by the 1967 Marvel Superheroes Xerography process, only it's now done by computer gif. Is that the point? And I never liked the chibi style - the characters just look too childlike to me.

[@wesleyhuff111]

?😂

[@user-ov3tn3qx3u]

So he's black SO WHAT

[@dickdastardly3340]

What do they mean Herbie replaced the Torch due to licensing issues?

[@EvolutionLab]

When the Fantastic Four property was made into an animated series in 1978, the character of the Human Torch was unable to be used as, at the time, the character had been optioned separately for use in a solo film (which never materialized).

[@vst.pierre1695]

It’s also why Marvel made Spider-Man and his amazing friends create sunspot, instead of the Torch :b
