Spotlight On...ORIGINAL HUMAN TORCH!

[Monolith]

The world's first artificial man, it all began with the Original Human Torch. Jim Hammond was created by Professor Phineas T. Horton using his patented synthetic "Horton cells" to simulate human life... the only problem was he burst into flames upon exposure to air. The Human Torch went on to become a police officer, an Invader and a surrogate father before his Golden Age adventures came to an end. For a time, it was believed that the Torch was remolded into the modern synthezoid known as the Vision, but the Human Torch eventually resurfaced to appear alongside his synthetic brother in Avengers West. Having died or lost his powers more than a few times since, Jim Hammond remains one of the oldest active heroes in the Age of Marvels.

Very interesting read.

This one seems like it was particularly complicated to piece together the timeline and decide what was canon. Anything from before the Silver Age is a big blind spot for me so reading about those characters is always enlightening.
