Johnny Storm (Fantastic Four) is from 2005 New York City, New York. He is a maverick pilot and is very self-assured of his skills. His perfectly normal human self was affected in a cosmic storm in space where he was zapped by the clouds vast energies. Upon his return to earth he experiences changes in the chemical make-up of his body, and he begins to learn/experiment with his newfound abilities and changes in appearance.

Johnny Storm can fly, control fire, and surround himself in flames, essentially becoming a living torch. He can direct his flame as a blast of superheated plasma, or manipulate it for various shapes, temperatures, or effects. He can absorb flame into his body or extinguish ambient flame at will. He has the ability to fly in excess of the speed of sound and has sufficienct ambient heat to vaporize projectiles that approach him.

The Torch can vaporize rocks, bottles, bullets, and even steel girders in fractions of a second. The uppermost level of the Human Torch’s power is his Nova Flame which is usually released omnidirectionally or in all directions, and reaches temperatures of 1,000,000 degrees celsius. Any level lower than this cannot burn him. Johnny can also direct beams of Nova Heat as an offensive weapon for very brief periods of time before his heat energy gives out. As fast as Johnny can fly, he can stop just as fast, at an exact spot precisely chosen.

His catchphrase, "Flame on!" is customarily shouted when activating his full-body flame effect.

Initially Johnny uses his abilities to gain attention. For example entering a daredevil motorbike contest where he leaps off his bike in a burst of flames. He is egotistical, cocky, and very self-assured which is accurate according to canon. He’s a playboy hot-head and loves the girls.

Except now he is entirely devoted to Sevannah Levine, his girlfriend.

 

Amber Atkins - Drop Dead Gorgeous was released in 1999 and is about a group of teens who enter a beauty pageant named the Sarah Rose Cosmetics Mount Rose American Teen Princess Beauty Pageant. It takes place in the fictitious small town of Mount Rose, Minnesota, where a filming crew follows the contestants, the judges, and everyone else involved in the pageant, for a movie documentary.

Amber Atkins, one of the contestants (and main character), is competing to try and win the scholarship money and leave Mount Rose. She wants to become like her idol, Diane Sawyer, so for her it is mainly about the money. For the other girls, the pageant is simply something for them to do.

Rebecca Leeman, who is also competing, is the daughter of the organizing committee for the pageant and former winner herself, Gladys Leeman. It comes to no surprise that when odd things start happening to the other girls competing, that the contest is fixed so that Rebecca Leeman will win. One of the girls gets blown up while riding her tractor; the love interest of Rebecca turns to Amber instead and is quickly found shot in the head during a hunting trip; one of the girls is knocked unconscious during a dress rehearsal from a light fixture falling from the ceiling.  I only mention Becky Leeman because Amber tends to mention her a lot.

Despite omg dead people Amber’s tap costume being stolen, she competes in the talent portion anyway and does very well - the audience loves her. Still, she comes in second to the crowned Rebecca Leeman. After the competition and during the parade, Rebecca is made to ride a swan float that smells of gasoline and when her mother lights it for a certain dramatic effect, the swan float blows up with Rebecca on it. Gladys loses it and blames Amber while she admits to blowing up Tammy (the girl on the tractor) and is sent to prison. Amber Atkins is then named Mount Rose’s American Teen Princess and goes on to the state competition where she wins by default on account of all the other contestants eating improperly refrigerated shellfish. Amber didn’t eat it because her mother always told her never to trust anything that can carry it’s house around with it.

Amber goes on to Lincoln, Alabama where the national American Princess Teen Pageant his held but soon finds out that the IRS has shut down the company. Amber returns to Mount Rose, her dreams dashed.

Amber is from 1999 and is the daughter of Annette Atkins. Her father, a carnie, left a long time ago. Amber doesn’t seem to be upset by this. She’s thin and pretty, with long blonde hair and blue eyes, and she has a definite Minnesota accent. She lives in a trailer park with her mom, which doesn’t seem to bother her either. The trailer park, not her mom. She is a nice girl who has many interests. She works two jobs, one being a funeral home where she does hair and make-up on cadavers; it gives her time to practice her tap dancing which she loves. Amber is smart, funny, and loyal though she has been known to voice her opinions and is not above getting in a cat fight if she knows she is right. Basically she is just a fun loving teen with the desire and ambition to do something with herself.

She's an upcoming senior now and works at Turtle & Canary.
