Tony Sardo[1] was a professional racketeer in the United States who along with his associate Red attempted to use the original Human Torch to run a "fire-insurance" racket on various businesses. Torch got wise to Sardo's scheme however, and confronted him in his underground laboratory. Sardo attempted to throw a tank of sulphuric acid at him, but the tank exploded before contact due to Torch's extreme body heat. Sardo died in the explosion.[2]
