Hot Stuff the Little Devil is a character appearing in American comic books. Created by Warren Kremer, he first appeared in Hot Stuff #1 (October 1957), published by Harvey Comics. Imbued with a mischievous personality and able to produce fire, Hot Stuff appears as a red child devil who wears a diaper (said to be made of asbestos) and carries a magical sentient pitchfork (referred to as his "trusty trident"), which is a character in its own right. Much to the consternation of his demonic brethren, Hot Stuff sometimes performs good deeds to irritate them. Though often, compared to other Harvey Comics supernatural characters such as Casper the Friendly Ghost and Wendy the Good Little Witch, Hot Stuff is portrayed as much more wrathful and loves pulling pranks on others.
