El Diablo is one of the unexpected plus points of Suicide Squad. No one was expecting such a lowgrade villain from the comics to be one of the film’s best characters, but Jay Hernandez offers a great performance as the tragic hero who can’t control his pyrotechnic powers.

Yes, even comic book fans won’t be able to explain this one, as the character does not possess such an ability in the comics.

Given his name, we could even speculate that he is in fact the devil himself.
