Answer: There is an unusual explanation. In the original script, he was Bobby, an yammering snack cart guy that made multiple appearances. He liked to talk about food a lot and pressured people to buy his unusual creations. Eventually, he annoys Bruce to the point where he accidentally turns Bobby into a demon.
