Fredric Woolrich (Earth-616)

Fredric Woolrich, as Blockbuster, was hired to burn down some apartment buildings. Captain America arrived and helped rescue several people before succumbing to smoke inhilation. He was rescued by the NYFD but at the cost of one of the firefighters' lives. Assuming that Cap would eventually track him down, Woolrich obtained a battlesuit from Justin Hammer. He continued on his arson spree and eventually met with and fought Cap. Blockbuster was initially victorious until Cap destroyed the suit's breathing unit and battery. Woolrich pulled himself out of his inert suit and tried to shoot Cap, but was stopped by Mike Farrell wielding a fire hose. He was arrested and turned his employers into the police as well.^[2]

Once out of prison, Woolrich resurfaced as Heat-Ray. He was stopped by Blue Marvel who tried to execute him with a guillotine, but he was saved by Captain Marvel.^[3]

Heat-Ray then joined the Fangs and helped rescue Viper from Iron Monger. They were also dispatched to confront Captain America and Silver Sable but Heat-Ray was quickly subdued.^[4]

None.

Heat-Ray wears an armored battlesuit designed by Justin Hammer that enables him to shoot flames and force blasts, boosts his strength to superhuman levels, and offers him a high degree of heat resistance and protection from injury, including from his own flames.
