the world’s greatest paranormal
investigator is not from this world at
all
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
taking a look at the origins of a new on
Rama also known as Hellboy as with most
comic book characters there are often
different versions to a character’s past
we have chosen to primarily follow the
storyline that unfolded in 1994’s
Hellboy seed of destruction which was
then expanded upon in 1996 is Hellboy
wake the devil Hellboy’s origins traced
back to world war ii realizing that they
were losing the war the Nazis enlisted
the help of a sorcerer named grigori
rasputin who promised to perform a
miracle that would reverse the tide of
the conflict under the close supervision
of the Nazis paranormal agents he set
about to perform his dark ritual in a
remote location off the coast of
Scotland unbeknownst to the Nazis the
Allies had gotten wind of this
experiment and had sent their own
paranormal team to investigate under the
direction of England’s top psychic
medium the Allied team set up camp in an
old church sensing that something was
about to happen there the medium
instructed the Allies to wait meanwhile
Rasputin completed his spell with the
eruption of a brilliant flash of
lightning although to the dismay of the
Nazis it appeared that nothing had
happened
however back at the church there was a
momentous explosion when the dust
cleared a small red demon was sitting
calmly in front of the astonished allied
team the top paranormal expert on site
Professor Trevor Bruton home dubbed the
creature Hellboy and became the
creatures adopted father in the years
that follow nearly 50 years later we
find Hellboy still with the professor
now fully grown
Hellboy works with the professor at the
bureau for paranormal research and
defense as their top agent most of
Hellboy physical attributes stem from
the fact that he is in fact a demon he
has red skin cloven hooves for feet and
a tail he also has two flat circles on
his head which are actually the basis of
the horns he would have if he didn’t
keep them filed down although he is
larger than a fully grown adult
Hellboy still retains the mental
maturity of a young man and seems to not
age passed his physical prime he’s real
yeah 60 years old by account but he
doesn’t age like me do think reverse dog
years he’s barely out of his 20s perhaps
his most distinguishing characteristic
is his oversized right hand which
appears to be made
stone and is for all intents and
purposes indestructible not only can he
use this giant stone fist as a club in
battle but he also possesses superhuman
strength and resilience although he is
not invulnerable he can sustain injuries
that would surely kill mortal men in the
field
Hellboy sports a trenchcoat and an
oversized revolver he also carries a
utility belt filled with charms and
talismans that protect him from a
variety of paranormal dangers at the
conclusion of seed of destruction
Hellboy confronts Rasputin the sorcerer
tells him that he was summoned to
command the forces of evil
including the augur of jihad an enormous
squid like monster meant to bring about
the destruction of the world in the
ensuing battle the augur of jihad and
Rasputin are both defeated but only due
to the last-second intervention of
Hellboy’s friends Aves sapien an
intelligent fish man and liz sherman a
woman with unstable pyrokinetic
abilities in a later issue entitled to
wake the devil Hellboy is confronted by
the goddess Hecate
she reveals his true name to be a known
own Rama which translates into upon his
brow is set a crown of fire she
reiterates to Hellboy that he is
destined to bring about the end of days
and explains to him that his right hand
is actually the physical key to this it
is also revealed albeit rather
indirectly that Hellboy was actually
born to a human mother while she herself
was imprisoned in hell throughout his
adventures
Hellboy battles a wide variety of
paranormal creatures and beings and time
and time again seems to only narrowly
escaped with his life and salvation in
recent years Hellboy has starred in
several animated features as well as in
two major motion pictures which star Ron
Perlman as big red himself me sir ma’am
