Edward Bloomberg also known as Red Devil is a superhero with demonic powers and a former sidekick to Blue Devil.
History
He eventually had a falling out with Blue Devil for unknown reasons and started working for Baron Winters. However, he failed to help Winters when he was sent to save a magician's life and as a result was kicked out. This continual failure led him to go to the Sanctuary, where he was killed by a mysterious force that affected the Flash when the latter briefly lost control of his powers. Despite their falling out, Blue Devil mourned him and was present for his funeral service.[1]
However, Bloomberg and his fellow patients were in reality replaced with clones from the 35th Century at the moment of their supposed deaths by the time-traveler Gold Beetle, who brought the survivors to the Timepoint, a place outside of history. From there, he and the others returned to the 21st Century to help the Flash Family fight off an invasion of Earth at super-speed by the Fraction.[2]
