Holocaust is a flame-wielding super-villain in Dakota City, making him part of the Dakotaverse. His powers were gained during the Big Bang gang riot through exposure to Q-Juice, which makes him a Bang Baby. Mayor Jefferson is his mother, although she gave him up for adoption. He has been a member of the Blood Syndicate and Star Chamber. Holocaust was created by Dwayne McDuffie, Ivan Velez, Jr., and Denys Cowan, first appearing in Blood Syndicate #1. (1993)
