Marvel's Captain America may be famous for punching Adolf Hitler in the face, but only DC's Blue Beetle discovered the nefarious — and Satanic — truth about the dictator's true identity. Steve Rogers's very first issue included a now-famous cover drawn by Jack Kirby of the Sentinel of Liberty socking the Germany dictator on the jaw, which immediately cemented his place in comic book history. But Rogers failed to discern a piece of information known only to the Blue Beetle: in the DC Universe, Adolf Hitler is literally Satan.
The Blue Beetle isn't as popular as Captain America today, but both characters originated from the same Golden Age of Comics time period — and he actually predated Steve Rogers, appearing in Mystery Men Comics #1 in 1939. The Blue Beetle is also a legacy title, belonging to three major characters over eighty years: the Golden Age Dan Garrett, Silver Age Ted Kord, and finally Jaime Reyes of the modern era. As was the tradition for heroes during World War II, both Captain America and the Blue Beetle had run-ins with Adolf Hitler — but Dan Garrett's conversation with Hitler took a shockingly dark turn.

This is too utterly fantastic!» Both Garrett and the reader witness Hitler's face shapeshifting into the Devil himself.
