After planning for so long, and finding the right opportunity to draw him, here he is: Eddie Bloomberg, AKA Kid Devil!!!

Eddie Bloomberg was originally a gofer for his aunt Marla Bloom, a Hollywood movie producer, when he met the superhero, Blue Devil. He began dreaming about being Blue Devil's sidekick. Determined to become a hero, Eddie made a suit with the same schematics as Blue Devil's and became Kid Devil, the demonic hero's sidekick. When his aunt died in a car crash one night, it deeply affected him. Yet he didn't know that he would be more affected than he thought...

As a teenager, Eddie befriended Zachary Zatara, Zatanna's cousin, and, after receiving a demon stick from a cloaked figure, asked the young magician about it. Zachary told Eddie that if he lit it, he could talk with whoever created it. The creator of this demon stick was a devil named Neron, who appeared as a hologram to Eddie, once Zachary used an revelation spell on it. However it was a pre-recorded illusion cast on each demon stick. After setting the stick on fire, lighting it up, Eddie was separated from his friend, sent straight to the deepest pits of Hell. There, he saw Neron's rotting corpse bound in chains and lying on the ground. Yet as the boy looked up, Eddie came face to face with a far more terrifying demon: Trigon the Terrible. It turned out that Trigon had usurped Neron and killed him so as to prepare himself for his return to conquer the entire universe. Afraid, Eddie first tried to run away, screaming at the top of his lungs, and then he made an unwise move and called Trigon a monster and an abomination. Angered by the boy's defiance, Trigon transformed Eddie into a demon before sending him back to Earth. When he woke up, seeing himself in his new form, Eddie was horrified and ashamed of what he'd become.

However, his new demonic presence drew the attention of another magician: Raven. As Trigon's own daughter, she immediately could tell that all this was her father's doing. She offered Eddie a chance to redeem himself and make good of his newfound powers to stop Trigon once and for all. Eddie, hoping to still become a hero, accepted, and is now a member of the Teen Titans!

For Eddie's backstory as to how he was transformed, I wasn't going to have Neron transform him, for the sole reason that he is such a wimp and a wus. Trigon on the other hand is so much more powerful, and I felt that having Eddie transformed against his own free will would be a lot more fun to play with since he's hoping to redeem himself and show that not all demons are bad. At Titans Academy, he's the best friend of Blue Beetle, Ravager, Nightrider and Jai West, Impulse's brother. He's also Raven's mentee so that he can control his newfound abilities.
