This day would be remembered for many reasons. It would be the first time any human saw Namor and lived to tell about it. The first time we knew for sure a new age was upon us...an age of superhumans.But most of New York would remember this as the day the Human Torch stopped being thought of as a menace...a monster on the loose...and became one of our greatest heroes.
