[[File:BlueDevilAndSanta_3313.jpg|frame|Dan is the [[Overly Narrow Superlative|fourth]] highest devil on [[Pals with Jesus|Santa's good list]].]]
 
Line 8:
Naturally, [[It Got Worse]].
 
The movie was being filmed on location, in a Lost [[Mayincatec]] [[Temple of Doom]], and the hapless Hollywoodlanders awoke the [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: a demon named Nebiros.
 
Dan, of course, decided to fight off the demon in his [[Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids|souped-up rubber costume]], and managed to drive it back into the aforementioned Can, and reSeal it. In the fight, alas, he took a full-on blast from the demon's [[Eye Beams]] -- and when the dust cleared, he realized that he could no longer take it off. [[Blessed with Suck|It was]] [[Biological Mashup|fused to him.]]

Since then he's become a member of a team title, ''[[Shadowpact]]'', which has a team of magical troubleshooters including other "esoteric" DC heroes, which include Detective Chimp and Phantom Stranger, and has even joined the [[Justice Society of America]]. His sidekick, Kid Devil, suffered a similar fate (and later joined the [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]].)

=== '''Blue Devil provides examples of the following tropes:''' ===
 
{{tropenamer}}
* [[Weirdness Magnet]]
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Arch Enemy]]: The demon Nebiros, until he was killed in ''Day of Judgment''.
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]
* [[The Big Guy]]: In ''[[Shadowpact]]''.
* [[Blessed with Suck]]
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: He's (technically) a devil, but also a good guy
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Subverted in that Dan never actually accepted the deal (offered to him by Neron, an [[Eldritch Abomination]] disguised as a supervillain) -- he was bound by it after someone else accidentally lit the magic candle that Neron had given him.
* [[Egocentric Team Naming]]: ''Annual #1'' had several supernatural-themed characters team up. At the end, the Creeper suggests they be a regular team called "The Creeper's Spirit Squad". Which everyone thinks "the '''stupidest''' idea I've ever heard!".
* [[Kid Sidekick]]: [[I Just Want to Be Special|Eddie Bloomberg]] was temporarily Blue's, though he later became Kid Devil/Red Devil and joined up with the [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]] during ''One Year Later''.
* [[Magitek]]: His original costume.
* [[Weirdness Magnet]]
