Michael B. Jordan plays Johnny Storm, the Human Torch.

Despite being played by an actor with a profile that's growing as rapidly as Michael B. Jordan's, Johnny Storm doesn't have a whole lot to do in the film. Before the transformation, he's a reckless hothead (get it?), bitter at his father Dr. Franklin Storm for favoring his adopted sister Susan since she has also pursued science.

Johnny is brilliant, too, but he has little interest in using his genius for science until pressured by his dad. Introduced as a gearhead who can "build anything," he plays a vital role in the experiment gone awry.

After the accident that turns him into the Human Torch, he becomes the only character who believes their new abilities should be put to some sort of use. Of course, why wouldn't he? His powers are very cool.
