Background/History: Wiki
Personality: 

Johnny Storm has always lived life on the fast lane. Few things were greater than taking on a huge risk and coming out of the other side as a winner--a hero. In many ways, the N-Zone accident leading up to his powers was one of the best events to ever happen to him. Once it became public knowledge that New York had a brand new team of superheroes, Johnny was living the dream. Basking in the spotlight, he was getting the one thing he never really felt he got enough of: Attention. The reason for this is that Johnny was born into a family of geniuses. His dad, mom, and older sister were all making great leaps and bounds in the scientific community while little Johnny didn't have the brains that made the rest of his family so special. He spent his childhood days with his family in the Baxter Building, not fitting in with the other children who could build and invent and create like true prodigies. So he adopted other means to become noticed, falling quickly into a life of late night partying, flirting with girls, and gaining a cocky, overconfident attitude.

There's no denying that Johnny's impulsive and rash. He doesn't think too much about his actions or their consequences and has run head first into situations that nearly cost lives. He's definitely a guy who lives in the moment and has few concerns about his future. His father has tried, on many occasions, to lecture Johnny on responsibility but it's usually brushed aside. He's young, he's immature, he thinks he can get through the struggles in life with bravado alone.

But Johnny Storm is so much more than what his surface personality lets him on to be. He's a good person with a strong set of morals. Johnny openly cares about people and has looked out for the well-being of total strangers. In the canon point he's being taken from, he volunteers to stay behind to watch over a group of mutant children as they'll need someone to protect them. He genuinely tries to be a decent hero, to do the right thing, and to save people. And then, of course, there's his family. His love for his family runs so deep, it could described as beyond bottomless. His greatest weakness is his older sister, Sue Storm. Johnny would honest to God do anything for her. She is the anchor in his tumultuous life, the one constant being that has always been there for him through the good and the bad. He's known for being hot-headed and, more than once or twice, Johnny has completely lost his temper when Sue was in danger. Any harm brought down on her is Johnny's darkest fear and he has proven again and again that he's willing to hurt anyone (even maim a close former teammate) who does her some sort of injustice.

Johnny had accepted, long ago, that he is not and will never be as smart as Sue. He doesn't enjoy being compared to her, which often happens seeing as they're siblings and on the same superhero team for a while before it breaks up. Sure, he's not as bright as Sue, but he can be just as inventive and he's quick to notice things that others may overlook. The youngest of the former Fantastic Four, Johnny sometimes felt under-appreciated as there were few things he could contribute to the team. His sister and Reed Richards were geniuses while Ben Grimm was the team's powerhouse. So he had a tendency to feel lonely, but really did love his team while they were still together and considered them part of his family (until Reed went nuts but that's another story).

He's also firmly devoted to the people he calls his friends. Due to his status as a celebrity and superhero, Johnny doesn't have many people he's close with. The few he can rely on are valuable to him. Sure, he can be grade A jerk and an all-around wisecracking opportunist, but he only teases and makes fun since that's what friends do, right? Johnny holds on extremely tight when he makes friends. He's stupidly persistent and if he wants to be someone's pal, he'll latch on and never let go.

After the death of his dad due to the Ultimatum Wave, Johnny moved to Europe in a daze and returned a slightly changed and more mature man. He refused to return to New York City because of the memories, moved in with a friend, and decided he wanted a secret identity in order to go to school and attract less attention. This was all because of his dad. He and Johnny had been arguing about Johnny's future when the destructive wave hit. Since then, Johnny has tried his best to do what his dad would have wanted him to do and straighten out his life. He goes to school, hangs out with people his age, and doesn't flaunt his superhero status as much as he used to. He tones down the partying and the attitude while still managing to be himself. But then disaster strikes once more and the friend he had been living with, Peter Parker, dies, leaving Johnny to grieve and take shelter in the Morlock tunnels, away from the world outside. He pastes on grins and jokes around because that's what he feels Peter would have wanted him to do. But he's on a shorter fuse now and feels bitter about the loss of his friend.

Abilities/Powers:

Thanks to a science experiment gone wrong, Johnny developed several fire-related superhuman powers. The most prominent of his powers is his ability to cover his body in flames. In this form, Johnny is able to fly. The accident also covered his skin with an extremely thin layer of transparent plates that essentially make him fireproof. Along with being immune to fire, Johnny can radiate high amounts of heat from his body and raise the temperature around him. His level of control over his powers allows him to hold or carry people without burning them while he's on fire. He can manipulate flames into offensive attacks or create a defensive plasma field capable of melting bullets.

His greatest skill is the powerful ability to go "supernova" in which he releases almost everything he has into a single devastating attack comparable to that of a nuclear blast. It immediately exhausts him and is used sparingly. The few times he has gone nova were usually in the company of his sister in order for her to contain the high flame output by creating a force field around it.

Items/Weapons: Nothing but the clothes he's wearing.
