Fumin' Scorch was a member of the Marvelous Heroes & the Fantabulous Four superhero teams.

His teammates include The Wisp, Great-Big Huge Man, Captain Americuss, Scrap-Iron Man, Mr. Fantabulous, Thore the God Thenthathional, Thang, Hunk, Spider-Dan, and Invisibubble Girl.

When the Green Trashcan, self-proclaimed leader of the Bestest League of America, went to meet with the Marvelous Heroes at their headquarters to discuss the superhero strike. Mr. Fantabulous attempted to be a voice of reason and prevent a conflict, but the other Marvleous Heroes kick their rival hero out of their headquarters. The Fumin' Scorch calls Reed a square for wanting to avoid a battle with the BLA. This promted the Green Trashcan to gather the BLA for battle. The two groups begin to battle it out, but then their respective union presidents arrive to tell them the strike is over due the US President and the Comics Code declaring the strike unethical.

Powers & Abilities[]

Fumin Scorch could envelope his body in flames and fly.

  • Go-Go Comics #5-6

Notes[]

  • The characters are an obvious spoof of Human Torch.
  • The Marvelous Heroes are in the public domain thanks to a lack of a proper copyright notice (any work published without one between 1923 and 1977 immediately entered the public domain).
