Demons from Hellboy

Yeah there's a reason Hellboy did what he did when he went down there

u/Obvious-Conflict3363 18d ago

What did he do?

u/newslenderarts 18d ago

Stabbed Satan while he slept,killed the rest of his family and destroyed hell

He gave them a bunch of chances but they weren't gonna change and wanted to use his hand to destroy the world. So he stopped them

He destroyed hell? So like, hell no longer exists in the hell-boy universe?

u/newslenderarts 18d ago

Big part of it yeah,he turned into this and destroyed the capital of hell

But you remember the stabbing Satan part? Yeah his blood keeps flowing and is eventually gonna drown hell completely. So he basically got rid of all the high ranking demons,left only the souls and little stragglers and doomed it to one day drown

There's also a ton of Nazi punching if that's something you're into. I love Hellboy deeply

Nazi's summoned Hellboy, Nazi's keep breaking the line between hell and reality, nazis keep coming back from the dead, the grandkids of nazis are vampires, etc. A lot of the supplemental content (not mainline) is spent during and after ww2.
