Devil Dinosaur was an alien being that resembled a tyrannosaurus rex He was from Dinosaur World, an extra-dimensional world where dinosaurs didn't become extinct and human life was slowly evolving. He was nearly burned to death by the Killer-Folk, hostile humanoids on his native planet. Devil Dinosaur was rescued by an ape like human called Moonboy who became his companion. The fire activated a mutation in the dinosaur in that gave him powers greater than others of his species and turned his skin from olive green to flame red. Devil Dinosaur was fiercely loyal to Moonboy and seemed more intelligent than the average dinosaur (as they were portrayed in the comic). Devil Dinosaur also appeared in a publication of the Marvel Godzilla series.
