1945
Overtly opposed by the Invaders, Hitler met his defeat in 1945.
On April 30, 1945, Hitler was killed in self-defense by the Human Torch in Hitler's bunker in the closing days of World War II. When the Russians were invading Berlin, the android Torch and Toro broke into Hitler's bunker just as he was about to commit suicide, to offer him the chance to surrender himself to the Americans, rather than the Russians. Hitler refused and tried to set off explosives. In return, the Human Torch blasted fire at Hitler, thus burning him alive.
