I was reading Teen Titans #42 last night and the thought hit me how silly the background story is for Kid Devil. You mean to tell me some kid sells his soul to the devil because he wants to be like another half-baked superhero like Blue Devil–are you kidding me?
I seriously cannot believe that the editors of DC Comics let this one by. Has creativity gone this low that they can not come up with something better? I don’t know: He could have been a rock climber that fell into a Volcano. He could’ve been swallowed up inside.  Seeing that he was too moral, the demons in the volcano spit him away. Not the greatest story either, but better than what they got.
Good writing demands that we start with a believable and solid background story. DC missed the mark on this one. I’m sorry that Kid Devil has to suffer because of it.

I want to read a story about a guy who falls in a volcano and gets spit out as a super-hero! That’s way cooler than anything in Teen Titans these days!
