Hot-Streak (real name Francis "F-Stop" Stone) is a fictional character in Milestone Media's Static comic book and Static Shock animated series adaptation.
Early in his life he spent two years in a hospital and has since had a phobia of hospitals.
Hot-Streak can create and control fire. Hot-Streak was the leader of one of the gangs in the Big Bang. He was also a bully who constantly beat up Virgil Hawkins (secretly Static) at school.
After being picked up by the police at the docks after the Big Bang, he and the other gang-bangers were taken to the hospital. The next day he burst into flames and blasted out of the hospital room. He later showed up outside a music store and tangled with a humanoid wolf Bang-Baby in front of Virgil Hawkins, Richie Foley and Frieda Goren. Virgil escaped being burned up, returned as Static and confronted Hot-Streak, but Static hesitates and Hot-Streak would have got him had it not been for the fire department. Later that episode, Hotstreak terrorized the park. Static and Hotstreak fought again, and Static took down Hot-Streak with a sewermain.
In the episode Sunspots early in the 2nd season, activity on the Sun affected Static's electromagnetic powers at the same time that Hot-Streak returned from jail. Hot-Streak went back to school on parole, after he learned anger management. Virgil predicted that he would be back to his old self after two days, and was proven correct. Hot-Streak surrounded Dakota Union High School in tall walls of flame. Hot-Streak was again defeated when Static blasted a water tower, dousing Hot-Streak completely.
In The Big Leagues later in the 2nd season, Hot-Streak was recruted into a gang of Meta-Humans/Bang-Babies by the Joker. Hot-Streak was taken down by Batman with a Batarang and a fire extinguisher and arrested.
In She-Bang in the 3rd season, Hot-Streak went on another rampage but was easly taken down by She-Bang, a Test-Tube-Baby.
In A League of Their Own part 1, Hot-Streak teamed up with Puff, Onyx and Carmen-Dillo (known together as the Meta-Men) to get some payback on Static and Gear, but were outnumbered by the Flash, Hawkgirl and Batman.
In Romeo in the Mix Hot-Streak was abducted along with other Meta-Humans/Bang-Babies by the Leach who wanted to absorb Hot-Streak's powers along with the others. When the Leach was short-circuited, Hot-Streak and the others were all taken to jail.
In in the 4th season, Hot-Streak appears in She-Back!, No Man's an Island, Wet and Wild and Power Outage.
In She-Back, She-Bang returned to team up with Static and Gear. Madelyn Spaulding, now with telekinetic abilities, broke Ebon, Talon and Hot-Streak out jail. After another fight, Ebon, Talon, Spaulding and Hot-Streak are all arested and taken back to jail.
In No Man's an Island, both Hot-Streak and Static were captured and taken to a mysterious island for scientific experiments by Edwin Alva to restore Edwin Alva, Junior. Static agreed to use his powers to save Alva Jr. Hotstreak, not wanting to be outdone, also agreed. Alva Senior was grateful and sent the Meta-Humans back to Dakota. Talon and Hot-Streak, who now had a hovercraft from Alva Senior, escaped.
In Wet and Wild, Hot-Streak teamed up with Aqua-Maria, planning to crash a CD signing of a new singer, Candide. Aqua-Maria was frozen and later agreed to be returned to normal with a untested possible cure. When Hot-Streak learned about this, he took action and sabotaged the procedure, and Aqua-Maria lost form and went down a drain. Hot-Streak met her at a fountain and agreed to help her get revenge on the scientists she believes sent her down the drain. Whe she learned that Hot-Streak was the one that sabotages the experiment, she threatened to submerge all of Dakota in water; Hot-Streak, meanwhile, escaped.
In Power Outage, Hot-Streak and other Bang-Babies discovered that they had been exposed to the reversive cure for the Big-Bang Gas, and that they were thus reverting back to normal. In an effort to retain their powers, Hot-Streak and Ebon planned to steal what's left of the bang baby gas that was used in making the cure. But Hot-Streak and Ebon ended up fused together and were presumably stopped by Static.
