Kevin Smith has always had a particular comic book character in mind and this character's known as "Hot Stuff: The Little Devil."
Hot Stuff, created in the late '50s by Warren Kremer, is a devious baby demon armed with a diaper, a magical pitchfork, and a bad attitude. Although the character appears cutesy, Smith feels it's about time to give Hot Stuff another look--one where it's on par with a darker image.
"I think there's a brilliant, revisionist take to be done on 'Hot Stuff, the Little Devil,'" Smith told MTV News.
"It was so cute when I was a kid, but now, let's take it satanic," he said. "Let's make it evil, where he's just like, 'I am the aborted fetus, the love child between a Christian and Satan!' Just take it in a weird direction where people are like, 'Does he still wear a diaper, dude?' Yes! He looks the same, but acts completely differently."
