Devil Suit

DESCRIPTION

Devil Suit:

Hired to do special effects and stuntwork on the newest Marla Bloom production, "Blue Devil," Dan invented an incredibly complex costume which would handle a lot of the more difficult stunts with relative ease, as well as do a few other things just for fun, I guess. When he became stuck inside the Blue Devil suit, the mechanisms remained the same but the latex, kevlar and what have you became organic and everything was fused at the molecular level. In essence, the suit became Dan.

In case you can't read the diagram (sorry, I had to make it small to save space), here are the functions of the Blue Devil suit as described in the Summer Fun Annual. 1 through 7 pertain to the bottom left drawing and move in a counter-clockwise direction. 8 through 13 pertain to the top drawing starting at the shoulder and moving counter-clockwise.

1. Horns - super-durable carbon fiber solar collectors, with AM-FM, police band, and shortwave radio
2. Microcircuitry Mesh - links nervous system to costume systems
3. Eyes - infrared night vision and glow effect
4. Ears - auditory hyperamplification
5. Throat - spooky voice modulator
6. Mini-Gills
7. Servomotors linked by Kevlar Tendons enhance power and agility
8. Heater/Cooler Induction Unit
9. Glove Cuff - exploding bubbles effect
10. Glove and Boot Cuffs - light show effect
11. Mini-Storage Bateries throughout body
12. Power Regulators to prevent systems overload
13. Palm Relays and microcircuitry link to trident

Trident:

Dan created the trident mainly to give himself the ability of flight, but it can also be used as a deadly weapon, among other things. Blue Devil has been known to fire the rocket engines at his enemies in order to score a K.O., or at least a knock down, and that seems to work pretty well. In addition, he can create all sorts of neat special effects with the trident such as a rising flame pillar which, while rarely harming an opponent, can greatly confuse one.

For a time, Blue Devil's Trident was infused with mystical energy as a result of Nebiros's tampering and could perform slightly more real special effects--effects that could potentially kill a normal person, or even hyper-normal person. Anyway, here are the specs, from the top to the bottom of the trident.

14. Electrical Charge - disruptor effect
15. Flame Effect
16. Retro Rockets to control flight
17. Circuitry Link to left glove
18. Solid Fuel Rocket Engines
19. Rocket engine Nozzle
20. Super-durable Outer Casing

I'm sure I've seen the trident do other things, but I can't recall anything off the top of my head. It might be useful to note here that the trident can support the weight of at least two people in its rocket function and can travel at speeds upwards of sixty miles per hour.

RANDOM FACTS

• When mystically bound to Dan's body, the costume attained the ability to heal itself--and to do so at a highly accellerated rate in comparison to the human healing process. At a competing comic book company, they might call this a "healing factor." It has never been revealed exactly how powerful a healing factor it is, or if anything besides the suit will be healed (e.g. will injured internal organs heal themselves?), but I suppose it's moot now in any case since Dan is a full-fledged demon.
• Nebiros stole Dan's trident and later used it to wield mystical energies formerly beyond his control. But in the process of infusing the thing with magic, Nebiros captured an incredibly evil demon in his own right who eventually used the Blue Devil as a vessel for himself here on Earth.
