to assist the current team. During the "Dark Nights: Metal" storyline, Hot Spot is shown as a member of the Teen Titans. He nearly killed Replicant before Sideways intervened. During the Heroes in Crisis storyline, Hot Spot is among the heroes killed in an energy blast caused by Savitar. Powers and abilities Hot Spot originally had the power to increase the temperature of any object he touched, and he could sense heat via a kind of infrared vision. 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. Any other new powers have yet to be seen. This change in his powers and name seem to be inspired by the characterization he received in the animated series. In other media Isaiah Crockett appears in Teen Titans, voiced by Khary Payton in his first appearance and by Bumper Robinson in later appearances. This version was originally going to be named "Joto" until the production team learned the word is a derogatory Spanish term for homosexuals and renamed him "Hot Spot", which later carried over to the comics. Following a minor appearance in the episode "Winner Take All", in which he becomes an honorary member of the Teen Titans, the Brotherhood of Evil capture him and use his communicator in their plot to eliminate young heroes around the world. However, the Teen Titans regroup, rescue the Brotherhood's captives, and defeat them. Isaiah Crockett / Hot Spot appears in the 2004 comic series Teen Titans Go!.
