History

Hellboy is a creature summoned in the final months of World War II by a fictional version of Grigori Rasputin on a small island off the coast of Scotland, having been commissioned by the Nazis to change the tide of war (Ragnarok project). Hellboy appeared in a fireball in a ruined church in East Bromwich, England, December 23, 1944. He proved not to be a devil, but a little boy-like creature (with red skin, horns, a tail, and a large stone right hand)—hence the name given by Professor Trevor Bruttenholm (pronounced Broom).

Taken by the U.S. forces to an Air Force base somewhere in New Mexico, Hellboy was raised by the United States Army and by the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, a U.S. agency dedicated to combating occult threats. He was granted honorary human status by the United Nations in 1952.

As an adult, Hellboy became the primary agent for the B.P.R.D., alongside several other human and quasi-human agents. His fellow agents include Abe Sapien, an amphibian humanoid ("icthyo sapien"); Liz Sherman, a pyrokinetic; Roger, an unusually large homunculus; and Johann Kraus, a disembodied spiritualist.

Hellboy's adventures in the comics span the 1940s to the present day and involve elements such as sorcerers, Nazis, the Thule Society, hollow earth explorers, werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and other oddities such as the Ogdru Jahad.

Several of the storylines deal with Hellboy's Right Hand of Doom and its purpose in initiating the Apocalypse..

Equipment

Weapons

Hellboy is known for using various weapons and mystical items in his fight against evil. His most two notable items are his The Good Samaritan ( and extremely large gun known for its brute strength and mystical background). The Good Samaritan was given to him by his friend the Torch of Liberty. The gun was made in Massachusetts. It's made up of different metals like silver, metal from old horseshoes, cannonballs, and melted metals from sacred amulets. Upon melting the the sacred amulets, incantations were said. Even a the handle of the gun was made from a portion of the true cross. Hellboy called the gun The Good Samaritan because he would put monsters out of there misery. The Good Samaritan is a like a miniature hand cannon. It weighs 6lbs which could also be used as a hammer. It is a .60 mm mega-pistol that can blow huge holes in buildings. The gun can hold up to four bullets making it the ultimate weapon. Upon impact a glass chamber within the bullet casing launches numerous other things. These things can include holy water, white oak or anything else thats needed to be used to defeat the monster at hand. In the side of the gun, Hellboy embedded a B.R.P.D symbol and after Professor Broom had given Hellboy the double-faced medallion, Hellboy split the medallion in half and placed a face of it on both side of the gun handle. The bullet itself has its own unique structure. Each bullet has its own hollow glass tip that Hellboy can fill with anything he needs.

Another weapon is The Right Hand of Doom (his large rock like arm). Hellboy also used different other charms and gadgets when the situation calls for it. Hellboy also carries a golden cross that is attached to a chain that wraps around his waist. The chain was given to him by his Earth father Professor Broom which always reminds Hellboy that he makes himself be who he wants to be and that he is good.

He also makes use of a Smith Wesson M29, but only very rarely.
