And now , the Human Torch ’s powers have just been entirely redefined , not because of anything he ’s done , but because of what he may be capable of doing .
InFantastic Four#18 by Ryan North and Carlos Gómez , the Fantastic Four are fighting for their lives and the lives of every living thing on Earth , as a barrage of invisible asteroids is rain down on the planet , with no obvious way of block off them . However , being the humankind ’s greatest superhero squad , the Fantastic Four quickly come up with a solution . By merge the Human Torch ’s powers with those of the Invisible Woman , the violent storm siblings are able-bodied to make a super optical maser that fool blow at the pep pill of thought .

The Human Torch Can Create Invisible Fireballs
The melodic theme that the Fantastic Four are apparently about to get down doing more power - combo fire is incredibly exciting for Marvel Comics buff , though it ’s arguably just as exciting to see the personal growing of the Human Torch ’s power - tier as well .
SHIELD has reason to consider that Johnny Storm should be able-bodied to not only create and confuse fireballs ( which fans have ensure from him before ) , but also make those fireball invisible to the naked eye . The reason he ’d be able to do that is due to the fact that Johnny controls every aspect of the cosmic fire that he can summon , include the luminousness it gives .
It was the photons Johnny produced in this issuing that made it possible for Sue to use her office to create the A-one laser . So , if Johnny has the ability to control his fire ’s light source as opposed to just its heat , then he can make it ultraviolet , i.e. inconspicuous . If the Human Torch can master this ability , and get word to throw unseeable fireball at his enemies , then the Fantastic Four ’s villains wo n’t resist a chance , as they ’ll be hit with pestilent attacks they literally wo n’t see coming .
