BRIEF Bio - 

BRIEF Bio - Born in 1904, John had the average life of somebody born into being a farm hand. He had basic schooling through about the fifth or sixth grade before having to take on a job. The young man helped take care of roughly twenty acres of farmland, rode horses, and was used to using outhouses. By the 1930's John hit the road and traveled up and down the eastern coast taking on factory jobs here and there. Occasionally he'd still get opportunites on farms. He was decent with firearms when the time ever came, but was as shocked as anyone would be when he created green flames from his hands. 

Moving back to north eastern Tennessee, John became friends with the Sheriff in Queensport and learned a thing or two before adopting a costumed identity. After years of using his powers in secret he finally made a name for himself as the Torch of Liberty. During his time as a costumed crime fighter the Torch faced enemies such as the O'Donnell Gang, Ghostface, and the Creature of Warpath River. 

Potential Storylines - 

Birth of the Justice Guild  - The formation of what would be this universe's first superteam.

Nazi Robo-Humans Attack - A strange ship that showed up in the NYC bay is secretly housing an army of robots!

Fast Friends - If we get a speedster I'd love to do a team-up ala GL/Flash.

Additional Notes - I essentially wanted a more street level GL type of guy. John doesn't fly or make constructs, or phase through walls... and there's no weakness to wood. I mean there is... you could catch him off guard with a baseball bat just like anybody LOL[/hider]
