An early solo Human Torch adventure. Johnny Storm is captured by the Wizard who impersonates him (Hey,we are talking about the Wizard!) The psuedo-torch goes on a very public crime-spree incriminating Johnny. The Wizard's fatal flaw is his ego, he challenges Johnny to a face-to-face confrontation where he shows johnny photographs showing how the Wizard accomplished his impersonation and gloats as he prepares to burn them. “Evidence proving your innocence, destroyed by your own element!” Suddenly Johnny tells the Wizard he has powers he does not always use and the pictures float out of an astonished Wizards hands!! After Johnny has cleared his name and handed The Wizard over to the authorities Sue Storm becomes visible. Johnny's big sis saved the day! A very cool story
showing the relationship between the two super-powered siblings.

Famous / infamous for two things:
1. Infamous typo “He'll never it!” (he'll never make it) when Wizard is dropped in the river chained up inside a safe)
2.Famous Torch line as he “telekinetically” floats photos:
“My will is stronger than the laws of nature and physics! I am all-powerful!”
A bit over the top, huh?
