Sigmund Fell wanted help with his ultimate construction, an attempt at creating an entity similar to the original Human Torch, abducted the Mad Thinker and brought him to New Berlin. There, he forced the Thinker to finish the construction of the entity, dubbing it the Inhuman Torch. Losing control of his creation, it began burning its way through New Berlin. Realizing his control was gone, Fell made plans to escape and rebuild elsewhere. After a brief alteration with the Mad Thinker, Fell brought him to the surface at gun point, where the Thinker revealed his theory on Fell's true origins as Fell erupted in flame, just like the androids he'd ruled for so long. The Thinker then teleported away, leaving Fell, whose flaming skeleton fell to the jungle floor.[11]
