Which is why in the old Fantastic Four cartoon they replaced The Human Torch with Herbie the Robot. I think their reasoning was they didn't want to encourage kids to play with matches.

I remember a lot of my friends complaining about the first X-Men cartoon when it came out because Wolverine was kind of a chump. But I knew going in... well, he's got claws and he will never ever get an opportunity to slice a fool. Although when he did go up against the marauders he did actually do well, chopping off all kinds of cybernetic arms...
