What are the characters' names?

Something rather important is missing in this long article: The names of the four characters are not mentioned until very far down, and then only randomly depending on context! A search for the string Human Torch places its first appearance in the 2010s issues.

All four characters' superhero codenames should be listed in the opening paragraph, then again in the paragraph describing how Lee and Kirby created the series. Secret identities may be not needed here, as I know there is a separate article for the team as such rather than the comic book. In this context it would be more appropriate to describe Lee & Kirby's influences and thinking process in picking those characters, eg the Torch was an old characters' named recycled.
