Jonathan Storm (Earth-4126)

"The reason I'm with so many girls, the reason why I refuse to do anything relatively feminine, the reason why I've broken so many hearts, is because I'm gay."

-Johnny Storm

Childhood
Johnny was a simple child, not knowing what do with his life, and not caring. He presumed that everyone's dad was hardly ever around, because after his mom's death, his dad disappeared for days at a time. He was primarily raised by his older sister, Sue.

Foster Family
When Sue discovered their father disappeared to gamble, rather than work on science, he was arrested and the two of them were placed in foster care. They were adopted by the Franklins, and Johnny's young mind caused him to believe they were his real parents. Obviously as he got older he accepted the fact that they weren't. When Johnny was in High School, he struggled with his sexuality, and eventually came to terms with it. However, he decided to stay in the closet, rather than tell anyone.

The Accident
Johnny decided that if he didn't start dating, people would start assuming, so he became popular and dated one of the hottest girls in the school in order to maintain his rep. Sue invited him to see the test of her and Reed's cosmic radiation project. However, something went wrong and they were all bombarded with cosmic radiation. Johnny thought it was awesome, immediately dubbing himself the Human Torch.

Fantastic Four
After the formation of the Fantastic Four, Johnny started womanizing. He would jump from girl to girl, with no concern for what they felt for him. Eventually, he started feeling guilty and toned it down, and eventually started dating a model named Crystal. Eventually, he trusted her enough and he came out to her, but she said she would keep his cover, and the two became great friends.

Secrets
Eventually, Thing picked up on the way Johnny was acting, he even noticed the way he moved. He eventually came to the conclusion and confronted Johnny. Johnny begged Ben to keep his secret, and he promised he would. It wasn't long until the two of them became good friends, and it came as quite a shock to Sue and Reed, and the whole world, when Johnny broke up with Crystal and came out.
