Fictional character biography
Isaiah's mother was already pregnant with him when she married Judge Crockett, who was unaware that the unborn child was half-alien (part human and part H'San Natall). [2] At age 16, Isaiah qualified to enter college, but on his first day at Ivy University, he and two other students (Toni Monetti and Cody Driscoll) are abducted by the H'San Natall. On board the alien ship, they rescued the Earth girl who would later become Prysm, and from there they escaped. [3] During these events, the students learned that they were all half H'San Natall. They stayed together and formed another incarnation of the Teen Titans. [4] [5]
Isaiah initially took up the name Slagger, but his father suggested another codename, Joto, which is Swahili for "heat". During a battle with Haze (Jarrod Jupiter), he was badly burned. [6] Before he died, he touched Prysm on the cheek, sending out a heat pulse with his life essence into her. Later, the H'San Natall had repaired his body, although he was a mindless killing machine in this state. [7] When Prysm came within close proximity of him, his life essence transferred back into his body and he regained control. Together, the Titans and Superman were able to talk the H'San Natall out of further aggression. The team disbanded and went their own ways,
During the one-year gap depicted in 52 , Isaiah briefly joins the newest incarnation of the Teen Titans under the name Hot Spot. During the events leading up to Final Crisis , Hot Spot is one of the young heroes considered for the team membership drive. Ultimately, Isaiah is passed over in favor of Static, Aquagirl, and Kid Eternity.
During Superboy-Prime's attack on Titans Tower, Hot Spot (along with Prysm and Argent) appears as one of many former and prospective Teen Titans who arrived to assist the current team. [8]
During the Heroes in Crisis storyline, Hot Spot is among the heroes killed in an energy blast caused by Savitar. [9] [1] In The Flash , it was revealed that the hero Gold Beetle replaced all of the dead heroes with clones from the 31st century and that they were all actually alive. [10]
Powers and abilities
Hot Spot originally had the power to increase the temperature of any object he touched, and he could sense heat via infrared vision. [1] [2] His original Joto costume was equipped with a wrist mounted cannon, with which he could fire projectiles which were superheated by his powers.
During One Year Later , Hot Spot's powers seem to have evolved, allowing him to fly and surround himself with an aura of flame.
