10 Characters You Didn’t Know Exist In The MCU
4. The Original Human Torch
Long before Marvel published its first Fantastic Four comic, it had another superhero known as the Human Torch on its books, and it looks like this Golden Age crimefighter was active at some point on the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline.
The android hero's distinctive red costume can be spotted on display at the Stark Expo in Captain America: The First Avenger. If his suit exists in the cinematic universe, then surely the character himself was once at large.
This version of Human Torch has never shown up in person, but it was at one point rumoured that Jason O’Mara would be playing the character in Agents of SHIELD.
Such speculation turned out to be BS when O’Mara was unveiled as The Patriot, though the age-old hero could yet appear in some capacity on the big or small screen.
