Human Torch vs Zuko

[Slade1]

This is basically to see if Zuko could control Johny's flames. Do you think Zuko's firebending is strong enough to counter HT?

[Laufeyson]

Unless Zuko can control Supernova, I don't think Zuko will ever defeat Johnny.

[Captain Morgan]

Short answer: no.


Even if Zuko could block an attack, It ultimately wouldn't matter, because Torch can just maintain a level of output that puts Sosen's Comet to shame without much issue, so Zuko would never get the chance to go on the offensive.

I was thinking more if Zuko could firebend Human Torch himself not just his fire. I doubt it but I wanted to see what others think.

I don't THINK Torch is actually made of fire, like how Iceman is made of Ice. I think he is just covered in it.

[grampagen]

Torch generates and controls the fire with a level of intuition and scale I don't think Zuko can override.

Interestingly, Torch is also able to exert control over fire external to himself, so he's something of a Firebender as well.

Of course, the OP granted a Rumble is obviously in Johnny's favour. Only one of these guys has a burn scar after all.

Would Johnny being near Zuko power him up like Sozin's comet?

Can't see why it would. The comet works because bending is powered by spiritual mystic stuff. Johnny isn't that. In fact, he has been burned by hellfire.

it's specifically noted that fire benders have a spiritual connection to the sun and thus are stronger during the day. similar to how water benders are stronger during a full moon.

if zuko did get a power up from johnny, then any source of fire would be a power up for him.
