It turns out that The Vision, the android member of The Avengers created by Ant-Man, Dr. And the Torch beat Quentin Tarantino to the punch - it’s accepted Marvel Comics continuity that he burned Adolph Hitler to death in Der Fuhrer’s bunker. It really makes more sense, as The Invaders were all superhuman).

In the 1970s a retcon made it so that the Human Torch and Toro fought in WWII alongside Captain America and Bucky, the Sub-Mariner, Spitfire and others in a super team called The Invaders (for some weird reason Cap’s team of fighting men in the movie was originally called The Invaders, but some time in post they decided to call the the Howling Commandos, after Nick Fury’s team of WWII soldiers from the comics. The Sub-Mariner was an enemy of America and an anti-hero, so of course the Torch battled him. Namor had been technically introduced earlier in 1939 in a giveaway comic which was reprinted in Marvel Comics #1. The Human Torch is also notable because he took part in the first full-scale comic book crossover he battled Namor, the Sub-Mariner. Horton’s lab assistants who, for reasons I have never fully comprehended, also has flame powers. He also got himself a boy sidekick, Toro, the child of Dr. The Torch eventually took on a human name, Jim Hammond, and joined the police force for a while.

Eventually he gained control of his fiery abilities, which included flight and fireballs. The Torch wasn’t exactly a hero yet - he accidentally set parts of New York ablaze and then killed a mobster who wanted his powers. Horton kept his creation in a big glass case, and when he opened that case at a press exhibition exposure to oxygen caused the android to not only explode into fire but obtain sentience (it was 1939, ok?). The original Human Torch was an android, created by Dr. The original Human Torch is one of the weirdest characters in Marvel history, and his presence is still felt to this day. No, I’m not talking about Chris Evans, who played the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies but rather the original Human Torch, a character who first appeared in 1939’s Marvel Comics #1 from Timely Publications. And now Captain America: The First Avenger has my favorite easter egg yet: The Human Torch. There was what I swear was the Eye of Agamatto, Dr.

There was a Project Pegasus crate in Iron Man 2, as well as a map featuring Wakanda, home of the Black Panther. Marvel’s got a pretty big universe that they can play with on screen, and the studio has been eager to bring some side elements of that universe into the movies in small, easter egg sorts of ways.
