The Human Torch has possessed the ability to fly for decades, and this astounding superpower has been granted a scientific explanation.
The article from MSN discusses the scientific explanation behind how Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four, can fly. According to the piece, when Johnny Storm ignites into his Human Torch form, he doesn't just produce heat and light; he also generates a significant amount of hot air and gases. This hot air expands rapidly, creating a cushion of less dense air around him. By controlling the direction and intensity of his flames, Johnny can manipulate this cushion of hot air to propel himself in any direction, effectively allowing him to fly. The article explains that this is somewhat analogous to how a rocket works, where hot gases are expelled downward to push the rocket upward. However, unlike a rocket, Johnny's method involves a continuous and controlled expulsion of hot air, which he can adjust to hover, accelerate, or maneuver in flight. This scientific interpretation provides a plausible explanation within the realm of comic book physics for his ability to fly.
