He is called "the greatest supernatural investigator in the world".

Suggest that Mignola finish Darkness Calls The topic of the next article is Red Son, but it’s not the son of Red, but the young master of the Bull Demon King, Red Boy. Both of them are very popular, and both have something to do with fire. Although Red Boy has no role, his father has... )

2 Personal Information
Hellboy was summoned to the world by Grigori Rasputin in the last few months of World War II on a small island (Tarmagant Island) off the coast of Scotland. The Nazis had hoped to use him. Reverse the situation of the war (called the Ragna Rok plan). On December 23, 1944, Hellboy appeared in a fireball in the ruins of a church in East Bromwich, England. When he appeared, he was not a demon, but a boy-like creature with red skin, horns and tail, and a large stone right hand. Professor Trevor Bruttenholm (professor's last name is pronounced like Broom, or broom) named him Hellboy.
The U.S. military took Hellboy to an air base in New Mexico. He grew up in the military and belongs to BPRD, an agency established by the U.S. government to deal with supernatural threats. In 1952, the United Nations awarded Hellboy the honorary human status.
After adulthood, Hellboy became the chief staff member of BPRD, and his colleagues included humans and humanoids. His closest partners include Abe Sapien, a human-like amphibian (often called a murloc, but not a fish); Liz Sherman, a human, can emit flames.
In the comics, Hellboy is regarded as a celebrity, an honorary human of the United Nations, and "the world's greatest supernatural investigator". He often comes into contact with ordinary humans, and most of those humans do not react excessively to his appearance. (Of course, his main contacts are government and military professionals, as well as scholars who study various supernatural phenomena.) In the film, he is basically isolated from the outside world, and the general public only thinks he is an "urban legend." legend).
Hellboy’s adventures in the comics continue from the 1940s to the present, and the characters involved include wizards, Nazis, the Thule Society, geophysical explorers, werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and other monsters, such as Ogdru Jahad, etc. . (Wolf note: the Thule Society, the German secret society, formerly known as the "Studiengruppe für germanisches Altertum" (Studiengruppe für germanisches Altertum), founded by Rudolf von Sebottendorf. Sebottendorf was fascinated by Sufism mysticism theory. His study of ancient Aryan legends is the source of the mysticism in Nazi thought. A group of important figures in the early Nazi Party came from the Kuli Society. Ogdru Jahad is an ancient evil god that was sealed, the movie The final big boss in the version is it. From this setting and its appearance, you can also see how surging Mignola’s admiration for HP Lovecraft is...)
There are several stories about Hellboy’s "Destroy" Right hand", it is the key to the end of the world. Like the comic heroes Daredevil, Batman, Blade and Wolverine, Hellboy is always troubled by his past. In the second comic Wake the Devil (Wake the Devil), he commented on his past like this: "I don't want to know. I don't know those who live well for fifty-two years, and I don't know those who sleep very well. Fragrant."
3 Strengths and special abilities
Hellboy's super power comes from his devil talent. His special abilities have not been accurately described in the comics, but he is obviously more powerful than ordinary humans, and his physical strength is also greater. He has been violently attacked by large monsters many times, but has not been killed, usually only slightly injured. Once, he used his chest to withstand a bullet fired by an MG-42 machine gun until he destroyed the machine gun. The limit of Hellboy's power is not clear, but he once uprooted a big tree and threw it at the enemy. He also often throws at least four to five hundred pounds.
Hellboy's right hand, known as the "right hand of destruction", includes a very large forearm and hand, which looks like a red stone. This hand is not afraid of any attack, and painless, it is more like a big hammer when fighting the enemy. Of course, because it is much larger than ordinary human hands, it is very inconvenient in daily life. Hellboy usually uses a normal-sized left hand, but in fact, his right hand is also very flexible, enough to catch insects flying in the air. The most important thing is that the power of the "right hand of destruction" can "release and control the evil god Ogdru Jahad", that is to say, it is a tool to summon the end of the world (Ragnar?k / Armageddon / Apocalypse, etc.) . The comic does not explain how this process is achieved, but it mentions that only the "right hand of destruction" is needed. It doesn't matter whether the hand is attached to Hellboy or not. Therefore, Hellboy must protect himself, lest the "right hand of destruction" is taken away by the enemy.
In addition to his natural abilities, Hellboy also carries a lot of religious or magical things on his belt, such as holy bones, horseshoes, herbs, etc. At the same time, he also carries a variety of grenades and explosives, which are in contact with various monsters. It is also often used in battle. Hellboy usually carries a large pistol. In the movie version, the gun’s name is "the Samaritan" (the Samaritan, derived from the Bible). Hellboy said that he used a special bullet with silver dust, holy water and other ingredients in it. The attack effect can be guaranteed during the battle, and it is also revealed that the barrel is made of melted iron church bells.
