Background
Bart Garret is the son of an American police officer. His mother died when he was 2 years old, due to illness. When Bart was five, his father took him on vacation to the Australian Outback. After a few days, they encountered a band of criminals. The criminals killed his father, but he held them off long enough for Bart to escape. Bart wandered about for two days until a nearly Aboriginal tribe found him unconscious. Following long-established tradition, they take the boy in, teaching him their customs and values.

Bart excels and becomes a respected hunter and tracker. Upon reaching adulthood, he returned to America, went to college, and later became a police officer. During his first year on patrol, Bart is shot and lay near death in the hospital. After his nurses make their rounds, a mysterious stranger enters his room and injects him with an experimental chemical. Awakening fully recovered the following morning, Bart sees an elderly doctor standing next to his bed.

The physician, Dr. Franz, explains the recovery to Bart and offers him the chance to be a force for justice, working above and beyond the law. Bart accepts, but wants to stay on the beat as part of his cover. Bart designs his suit in the style of his battle paint with the aborigines, half-n-half body paint. He makes himself some boomerangs to use as weapons. He then hits the streets as the Blue Devil. Bart carries a dose of Vitamin 2-X with him to use at any time, and it lasts for 24 hours.

Bart gains his powers by injesting Vitamin 2-X. It gives him enhanced speed/reflexes, enhanced mental capacity, enhanced strength, enhanced senses, enhanced healing. In the Landmark Universe, the chemical is a variant of the original super-soldier serum developed by Operation Eagle.
