Personality: Downburst was a relatively quiet fellow known for well-to-mean attitude, off-set by his wildly jealous streak. His jealousy attributed to his keenly noted volatile side and he was prone to easy anger. His inability to effectively use his super powers on more complex matter made him disgruntled and uncertain of himself and he was noted to lack self-confidence. Years of bottled frustrations from his reportedly rough teenage years and his unrequited love interest in fellow Super Blazestone made him mildly passive-aggressive and he did not work well with others.

Known history: Downburst, otherwise known as Frank DeVito from governmental records released upon his death, came from a large Italian family that immigrated and settled in the Metropolis area in the early 1920's. By the time Frank was twenty years old, all his older brother's were dead from various causes and his mother had succumbed to a heart-attack. According to Frank's sister, Maria, Frank's adolescence was plagued by constant torment from fellow neighbourhood boys, leaving him very angry and bitter. She is unaware of when his 'super abilities' first surfaced. At age 18 in 1954, Frank contacted the NSA and registered under the alias of "Downburst". At the time, records indicated that his powers were weak and mildly unstable and he began a routine training program under the command of NSA employee Mr. James T. Smith. In 1960, shortly before the banning of all Super activity, Mr. Smith said it should be noted that Downburst was working on assembling manufactured items, such as bicycles from atomic matter. This was considered to be a great improvement of his skills, as he first started on creating pencils. However, Downburst's inability to effectively control his powers over more complex matter left him equally frustrated and he was rarely assigned field missions. In 1959, at age 23, he met fellow Super Blazestone and developed an infatuation. Blazestone however, seemed uninterested in Downburst and when she began her partnership with fellow Super Frozone, Downburst's agitation and frustration became evident to even his superiors at the NSA. Following the Super Hero Restriction Act, Frank reportedly opened a bicycle repair shop in downtown Metropolis and continued his pursuit of Blazestone, to which he was unfruitful. His sister Maria reports he was then involved in a string of abusive relationships, all of which left him equally, if not more frustrated and agressive then he already was. In 1973, Frank's sister Maria reported her brother missing to the NSA and an inquiry into his disappearance came up empty handed. In 1975 with the retrieval of files from Operation Kronos, it was discovered that Downburst was killed on June 9th, 1973 by Omnidroid version 3000 on the island of Nomansian. His official death is attributed to Buddy Pine, otherwise known as the villain Syndrome. His recruiting to the island is still a mystery.

Special Notes: He heavily disliked fellow Super Frozone and it was wise not to bring him up in any conversation unless one wanted to risk his uncontrolled anger. It is also believed that Downburst had no off-spring.

Given Public Statement: The Superhero Downburst is deceased at age 37 and no longer in service of the NSA.
