Why Human Torch Would Burn From the Inside Out

The Human Torch can cover his entire body in flames, fly through the sky and survive temperatures hot enough to melt metal. But being fireproof would not protect him from the heat building up inside his own body. In this video, we use real science to discover what would actually happen to Johnny Storm. His blood would overheat, his sweat would instantly evaporate, the flames would consume the oxygen around him, and his organs would begin failing—even if his skin remained completely unharmed. Could he survive by transforming into plasma? How much energy would his flames require? And what would happen if the force holding his body together failed for just one second? The flames wouldn’t destroy him from the outside. They would turn his body into a furnace—and the first thing that furnace destroyed would be the man inside it.
