Cal DeVito (died 1967) was a motorcyclist and would-be mugger, whose untimely death created a small aberration that led the Legends to the location of the Legion of Doom following their confrontation in Chicago.
History[]
Original timeline[]
Sometime during or prior to 1967, Cal ended up either visiting or residing in Los Angeles, California. He would later go on to invent a new carburetor for shovelhead motorcycles.[1]
Aberration timeline[]
During his time in Los Angeles in 1967, Cal and another motorcyclist ran into Malcolm Merlyn and Damien Darhk in an alleyway near the Vogue Theatre. Cal and his companion proceeded to dismount from their motorcycles and demanded the other men's wallets, and Cal pulled out his switchblade knife to show that he was serious. Merlyn and Darhk, who had been seeking transportation, offered to let Cal and the other cyclist live if they gave up their motorcycles. This angered Cal, who assumed that they were trying to be funny, and a fight broke out. Merlyn and Darhk killed the cyclists using League of Assassins combat techniques and took their bikes. Gideon detected the small aberration caused by Cal's death and identified the fighting styles used to kill him as belonging to the League, which led the Legends to Los Angeles in pursuit of the Legion of Doom.[1]
