Blue Devil

History
Daniel Cassidy was born on the 17th June, 1984. Daniel had always been a fan of movies and films and when he went to college he pursued a career in that area. Becoming a famous special effects technician and stuntman in Hollywood, Daniel built himself an enjoyable life. Unfortunately, his competitors in the business were still far ahead of him. Daniel created an exo-suit that would aid him in his business, and eventually even resorted to making a deal with the demon Nebiros.

Nebiros betrayed Daniel and instead attacked innocent civilians, forcing Daniel to use his exosuit to save people and fight Nebiros. A stray spell from Nebiros’ hand hit Daniel, merging him with the exosuit to turn him into the Blue Devil. Now different from humans, Daniel could no longer function in normal life and instead adopted a life of crime fighting and also turned to God to help him persevere.

Daniel built himself a home away from home in Father Maxwell’s chapel, but things changed when the mysterious Pandora arrived. Pandora recruited the Blue Devil to help her defeat the Seven Deadly Sins that she had released long before. Pandora and Blue Devil managed to stop the Sins, however his shortcomings in recent times made Daniel believe that he was a failure and was too weak to be a true hero.

Daniel met with many and eventually met with Lucifer, the Lord of Hell, to discuss becoming stronger. Luci allowed Daniel to become stronger, giving him more power and making him more muscular. The new Blue Devil used his powers to be a more prominent crime fighter and he became famous in the darker areas of New York.

Despite being improved, Daniel still felt a longing to do more, seeing himself as a hero destined for great things. When Detective Chimp offers him a place on his new team, Daniel readily accepts.
