Much of Hot Spot's past history is unknown, but he appears to be the denizen of a North African country (possibly Egypt or Morocco). For a long time he worked as a solo hero until he was yanked off to another dimension by the Master of Games, to compete in a 'Tournament of Heroes'. He was pitted against Robin and lost, and was sucked into the Master's ruby amulet which enabled its wearer to employ its captives' powers for himself. However, Robin managed to defeat the Master and free the other heroes, and soon afterwards made Hot Spot and the others heroes (except for Gizmo, who had also been drafted) into Honorary Titans; all of them were given a Titans Communicator.
Hot Spot as a human.
The communicator eventually became a centerpiece in the plans of the Brotherhood of Evil. After an attempt to capture Wildebeest's com device had failed, Madame Rouge was sent after Hot Spot. With the aid of her shape-shifting powers, she impersonated Robin and tried to trick Hot Spot into surrendering his communicator, but eventually Hot Spot saw through the deception and smashed his com at Madame Rouge's feet. However, Robin appeared on the scene a short time later, and while separated from each other, Hot Spot was overpowered by Rouge, who assumed his appearance and tricked Robin into leaving her a new communicator.
Hot Spot was brought to the Brotherhood's headquarters, where he joined Wildebeest in captivity as a flash-frozen victory trophy. But when the Titans mounted a joint assault on the Brotherhood, he and the other captives were freed by Más y Menos and promptly joined the fight, and in the end he, Wildebeest, and Jinx finally got their revenge on Madame Rouge. Afterward, he appeared in Titans Tower socializing with the other heroes and later aided the Titans in bringing Doctor Light to justice once more.
Powers and abilities
Hot Spot has the ability to convert his body's flesh into an unknown fiery substance. Upon concentration, he can actually generate flames from his hands, which he either hurls offensively (as fire blasts) or employs for flying or enhanced jumps by directing a continuous fire burst towards the ground.
