Kid Devil - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

Originally, Eddie wore a Devil suit which gave him enhanced strength and agility, near impenetrable armor, a weapons system that included bright light burst effect, exploding bubbles, night vision, and mini-gills. He also had a rocket trident which could propel him through the air for distances of up to several miles and could emit flames and/or electric shocks.

After the events of Infinite Crisis and 52, Eddie has a demonic appearance and inherent abilities, both granted to him by Neron. His new form gives him a capacity to breathe fire, enhanced strength and endurance, and an ability to heal from non-fatal wounds ten times faster than a human. When punched in the stomach, Eddie can't control his fire breath. Eddie's blood is now a thick gasoline-smelling liquid, his breath is hotter than fire, his own skin is able to cause burns (being at two hundred degrees) and he has been seen to be able to increase this to the point of his skin turning white hot, he can fire streams of flame from his hands, has retractable wings underneath his arms, he possesses a prehensile tail, and his internal temperature is six hundred degrees. He learned how to create portals of fire through which he can travel long distances.

When Dr. Niles Caulder, leader of the Doom Patrol, tended Kid Devil's injury, he revealed that the young hero isn't a demon despite his powers being granted by the demon lord Neron. Rather, Neron activated Eddie's metahuman gene which gave him his powers. However, like a real demon, his skin still burns while inside a church.

Eddie lost his powers due to an attack by the new Brother Blood, Sebastion, shortly before sacrificing himself to save the other Titans.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:

    Great Powers of falling wave and wind and windy fire,
    With your harmonious choir
    Encircle her I love and sing her into peace,
    That my old care may cease....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    It contributes greatly towards a man’s moral and intellectual health, to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose sphere and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate.
    Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864)
