Hellboy is a half-demon half-human paranormal investigator. Destined to bring about the end of the world, he was summoned to Earth in the twilight of World War II and was raised by the forces of good. Though his demonic heritage grants him longevity, great physical strength, and a distinctive appearance, he rejects his apocalyptic destiny and serves as a force for good, combating paranormal threats large and small during his fifty-year career as an agent of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense or on his own solo travels.
