HISTORY

Originally a movie stuntman in a high tech costume of his own design, Dan Cassidy was transformed by the demon Nebiros as the technology became his own flesh. Dubbed a "weirdness magnet" by his friend Norm Paxton, Cassidy had a number of failed attempts to return to human form.

As the Blue Devil, Cassidy battled villains such as Shockwave and Bolt and became quickly admired by heroes such as Superman and Zatanna. Blue Devil reluctantly accepted his role as a Hell-powered superhero, eventually becoming a member of Justice League America.

Cassidy later became part demon after a clash with Neron. While a member of a short-lived incarnation of Justice League Europe, he was killed with holy water as the team was ambushed by the Mist.

During the Day of Judgment, the magician Faust resurrected him and helped him finally evolve into a true demon. Not showing any allegiance to Hell, he currently wields the Trident of Lucifer and uses it to find demons on Earth and banish them back to the Underworld.
