Hotstreak

Hotstreak (A.K.A. Francis Stone) is a Bang Baby with the power of pyrokinesis and one of Static's arch enemies from Static Shock.

Personality
Hotstreak's most notable personality traits are his fiery temper, disregard for anyone except himself, and his love of causing mayhem. However he isn't a major megalomaniac supervillain and rarely are any of his crimes for wealth or power. Hotstreak main motivation is his desire to do whatever he feels like doing. He is shown to have a fear of doctors and hospitals, due to feeling helpless as a child.

History
Hotstreak was Static's enemy even before the events of the Big Bang, back when they were just Francis Stone and Virgil Hawkins. Known by the street name of "F-Stop", Hotstreak was a well known bully and gang leader that frequently bullied Virgil, which lead to Virgil's brief involvement with a gang rival to his. Francis later brought his gang to the docks for a rumble with some other gangs in Dakota where the Big Bang happened, exposing them to a mutagenic gas called Quantum Vapor, transforming them into Bang Babies, Francis included. Afterwards, he was arrested and brought to a hospital, where his pyrokinesis appeared and he made his escape to take his new powers for a test drive. Now calling himself Hotstreak, he set his sights on Virgil (who'd become the electromagnetic superhero, Static) and almost took him down, but a group of firemen showed up and doused him with a hose, subduing him. However Hotstreak took on the hero again, but this time, Static managed to really get the hang of his powers and the pyrokinetic was beaten. Despite this he continued to return and cause trouble, only to be brought down again and again by his new arch-rival. Once Static lost his powers due to sunspots, just as Hotstreak had gotten out of prison on parole after learning anger management techniques, but was back to his old self in two days, just as Vergil predicted. Despite his lack of powers, Static defeated the pyrokinetic by dousing him with the contents of a water tower. Much later Hotstreak and Static were forced to work together at one point when Edwin Alva, head of Alva Industries, the company that made the Quantum Vapor, started kidnapping Bang Babies to try and help his son, who'd been turned to stone by an overdose of the gas. The two were handcuffed together and had to work together to avoid getting caught. After Static agreed to be used in a machine that could restore Alva's son, Hotstreak got in it as well, so as to avoid being outdone by his rival. After Dr Todd invented a cure for the Big Bang and began dispersing it throughout Dakota, Bang Babies began to lose their powers and Hotstreak and Ebon joined forces to steal what remained of the Quantum Vapor. However the pyrokinetic attempted to take it all for himself and he and Ebon fought over the last vial, accidentally releasing it and merging them into one monstrous Bang Baby with both of their powers. Static and Gear, having managed to breath in some of the gas to become the only other Bang Babies left, managed to take the creature down. However it may still be lurking somewhere beneath the waters of Dakota Harbor.

Powers
The mutagenic properties of the Quantum Vapor has given Hotstreak the powers of pyrokinesis, the ability to excite atoms to point where they have enough energy to burst into flames. However the gas also makes him able to remain unaffected by the heat and fire he generates. Hotstreak can use his powers to absorb flame into him, breath fire from his mouth, extinguish fire in his vicinity, send out blasts of fire from his hands, generate objects, constructs, and even beings out of fire, and send out fire blasts from his hands or feet that allow him to fly.

Trivia

 * Oddly, in the season 3 and 4 opening of Static Shock, Hotstreak was shown with his hair transformed into flames, but this was never shown in any of the episodes.
