History
Phineas Horton was like a modern day Prometheus, stealing fire from the heavens and handing a human torch down to man. 
- -- Human Torch
Prof. Horton was a biotechnology pioneer in the late 1930s. His crowning achievement was the creation of the first android, the original Human Torch. Unfortunately, Horton had not foreseen his creation’s incendiary powers. Horton was believed killed in the resulting fire. In later years, he changed his name to Thomas Raye, became a repairman, and married a woman with a daughter, Frankie, from a previous marriage. Frankie was 14 when “Thomas first read about the Fantastic Four. He flew into a rage and took his daughter to a long abandoned chemical warehouse in NYC. His intention had been to revive or recreate the original Human Torch. However, an accident resulted in Frankie Raye receiving the Torch’s powers.
Distraught by what he had done, “Thomas hypnotized Frankie into forgetting her powers and her life up till then.
He left Frankie but he sent her enough money each month that she could survive. Years later the money stopped when Horton was killed in a battle with Ultron-5.
