Biography

Origin

Edward Alan "Eddie" Bloomberg

Red Devil

Working with a studio, Eddie began to slack off during work causing him to be fired from another job. It was then that the ground tore open and a horde of demons emerged from the hell in Los Angeles where they flew into the sky. (Teen Titans v3 #30)

Eddie spent the last of his inheritance from Aunt Marla for a one-way ticket to Metropolis in order to enlist for Lex Luthor's Everyman Project. However, once he was there, he was screened and rejected from the program for psychological reasons. With no money, he had to sleep on the streets where one night he had to stay behind a church when he was met by a mysterious man giving him a box containing a black candle. Unaware of its nature, he decided o seek out Zachary Zatara for information who revealed it was a demon stick that would transport the bearer to its creator. Eddie decided to light it where he along with Zatara were transported into the demonic underworld before Neron. He offered to give Eddie power but this was based on his trust on Blue Devil that if ever broken by his 20th birthday would mean that Bloomberg would end up in Hell as Neron's protégé. (Teen Titans v3 #42)

He then followed Witchfire as she was opening a portal to the Oblivion Bar in order to get to the mystical gathering place and ask for information on Blue Devil. Eddie though was not allowed at the place and instead removed but the patrons decided to tell him to seek out Sebastian Faust. (Teen Titans v3 #42)

Post-Flashpoint

Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.

Overview

Personality and attributes

Early in his career, he became pen pals with Jason Todd back when he had also started as Robin. (Blue Devil v1 #19)
