== History ==
=== Origin ===
Disco Stu was denied admission to Club 54 in [[New York City]] because he wasn't cool enough. Angered, he vowed, "If I can't be cool, we'll all be hot!" He donned a cloak and hood over his disco suit, picked up a flamethrower, assumed his Disco Inferno identity, and set about taking revenge by setting a number of large fires: "I'm gonna make the whole city burn, baby, burn!"

=== The Battle with Nuclear Power Man and Iron Foot ===
[[Nuclear Power Man]] and [[Iron Foot]] were about to have Christmas dinner when Nuclear Power Man saw the fires from his apartment window. The duo went to investigate, with Iron Foot lagging behind due to his heavy foot. Nuclear Power Man got to the scene first and conferred with the police. He learned that they had sent the [[Village People]] to negotiate with Disco Inferno, only for Disco Inferno to forcefully reject their overture and send them, burnt and scorched, back to the police.

Nuclear Power man then went to confront Disco Inferno, again leaving Iron Foot behind as he had just arrived at the police officers' location. Disco Inferno warned him to "Back off or there's gonna be some hot stuff baby this evening!" He then said, "I'm gonna fry you crispier than a disco duck!" and fired a blast from his flamethrower, singeing Nuclear Power Man's hair and turning his {{W|Afro}} into a {{W|Flattop}}. Now enraged, Nuclear Power Man said "I'll kill you!", charged at Disco Inferno and grabbed him by the collar, determined to land a lethal blow.

The fight was interrupted by the sudden appearance of [[Linus van Pelt]], who told them they had forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. After Linus told them what Christmas was all about, Nuclear Power Man and Disco agreed that Linus was right and decided to stop fighting.

Just then, Iron Foot finally arrived. Not realizing the fight was over, he aimed a kick at Disco Inferno. However, he missed and hit Linus instead, sending him flying through the air. Iron Foot was immediately remorseful, but Disco Inferno was impressed with the strength of his kick. Later, Disco Inferno joined Nuclear Power Man, Iron Foot, the Village People, and a heavily bandaged Linus for Christmas dinner in Nuclear Power Man's apartment. They all raised their glasses in a toast as the story ended.
