The verdict: Doom wins most nights

Fight rules: both fighters at their peak, no preparation, no allies, only their own powers and personal gear. A win is a knockout, a restraint they can't escape, or a forced surrender. The percentages are fan estimates, not official information.

Doom's edge

Armor built to shrug off fire, and a fighter who has never lost his temper on purpose.

Human Torch's edge

Flight fast enough to keep up with the Silver Surfer, and a quick mind under the showboating.

Who is Human Torch?

Joseph Quinn plays Johnny Storm, the Human Torch of Earth-828, in First Steps (2025). A flying, flaming celebrity and Sue's younger brother, he turned out to be the member of the team who could talk to the stars: he decoded the Silver Surfer's language from her transmissions. When the Surfer came to destroy the last of Reed's bridges in Times Square, Johnny stopped her, and he was ready to fly into Galactus himself before Shalla-Bal pushed the world-eater through the portal instead. Quinn returns in Avengers: Doomsday (Dec 18, 2026).

First appearance: The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025).
