Phineas Thomas HortonHuman Torch [Jim Hammond]
In "null," Phineas Horton's creation—the Human Torch—awakens after decades trapped beneath the earth, its reawakening triggered by a growing crack in the concrete that once held it prisoner. As the flame stirs once more, the world faces the consequences of a being long buried, its return no longer a secret.

In "null," Phil Sheldon—once a celebrated chronicler of the Marvels—finds himself at odds with a public that glorifies heroes while vilifying them. Driven by a growing unease, he sets out to challenge the narrative by reopening the case that framed Spider-Man for the murder of Captain George Stacy, hoping to restore some balance to a world that refuses to see the full picture.
