The Hot Flash

The Hot Flash is the nom de guerre of the consort of Atomic Man during the 1960s and intermittently in later decades. As implied by her name, her powers included super speed and incindiary effects. Her powers were thought to be caused by the Alice Disaster.

Like Atomic Man and Canisaurus Rex, The Hot Flash was the subject of multiple comic book adaptations, as well as a short-lived 1970s television show.

In the 1980s, The Hot Flash took a number of third-rate assignments and was seen participating in conflicts from Johannesburg to Jakarta.

Atomic Man and The Hot Flash reunited in the 1990s, though their relationship was always inflammatory. The Hot Flash has not been seen publicly since June 1996, when she and Atomic Man departed on a Canadian grizzly-wrestling trip. On his return, Atomic Man stated that she decided to embark on a spiritual quest and become one with the Eternal Flame. This account was never verified and never questioned by authorities for obvious reasons.
