The whole black human torch thing never set well because it seems like a very obvious "Look guys, we're racially sensitive!"
Black Spider Man? Sure.
Black Superman? Sure.
Black Batman? Why the hell not?
Believe it or not, ethnicity does play a role in stories, like when people are brother and sister...

Yeah, a mixed family would be weird. Except I'm part of one, and it wouldn't.

Please don't twist my words.

Because they no long share biological parents. Because it opens an entire avenue up for Johnny's parents (one that, being in a comicbook universe, would pretty much HAVE to be utilized) Then again, when you just assume the poster is an ignorant racist, its pretty easy to take words, sentences, and incomplete ideas, and infer racism.

Which is quite a change in story just to make the character a different race. If it was originally meant to be that way, and maybe the racist 60s didn't allow it, sure, live your dreams Stan Lee, but if not -- They did a Hispanic Spider Man, and he is pretty awesome. The Human Torch isn't the only character in the Marvel Universe ...
