 JIM HAMMOND AKA HUMAN TORCH invader possible face-claim: armie hammer (pictured) some other all-american blonde?/light brunette android | Described as the "heart" of the Invaders, Jim Hammond is averse to killing, and is always the first to try and talk it out and appeal to reason. Charismatic, quick-witted, compassionate and outgoing, he is a man that many are hard-pressed not to like. Despite all this, Jim has a mixed opinion of himself. His status as a creation and an android makes him feel as though his life is less valuable than the lives of those around him. It makes him even more willing to sacrifice himself for the benefit of others, though he masks this internal conflict well. The first hero to meet Namor, Jim and Namor fought numerous times until Betty Dean convinced him to side with the Allied Powers. Though the history between the two was initially rough, the two became friends, in part because of Jim's willingness to grant second chances, and Namor's respect for his worthy adversary. It was Jim that suggested Namor to be part of the Invaders when the US government was organizing the elite task force. Over the years of the Invaders being active, Jim became close friends with James Barnes and Captain Steven Rogers as well. Despite his aversion to killing, Jim confronted Adolf Hitler in 1944 and killed the man with his bare hands after the horrors he'd witnessed at the internment camps. Though he does not regret his actions, it is not something that he speaks often of, since it is the only time he actively made the choice to compromise his ideals. Though initially one of three Invaders to survive the war, Jim's creator deactivated him. It would be easy for someone to find Jim and power him back up... and Jim could be reunited with the Invaders, since pretty much everyone has miraculously survived to the modern day. |
