[编辑] 角色傳記地獄小子於第二次世界大戰最後的數月,由被納粹黨委派的Grigori Rasputin在蘇格蘭的近岸一個小海島(Tarmagant 島)上被召唤出來的生物 , 籍此扭轉戰局(所謂"Ragna Rok 計畫")。1944 年12月23日在英國 Bromwich 東部,一個被破壞的教會裏,地獄小子出現在一個火球中。他證明不是惡魔, 但像一個仿男孩生物(紅色皮膚、犄角、尾巴, 和一只大石右手) - 因此由 Trevor Bruttenholm 教授給這名字。 (發出音的笤帚) [编辑] 奇能異力Hellboy's superhuman abilities stem from his demonic nature. While his specific powers and abilities have never been explicitly described in the comics, Hellboy is much stronger and more physically durable than an ordinary human being. He has been savagely beaten by large monsters on several occasions and survived, often with relatively minor injuries. On one occasion, he directly charged an MG-42 machine gun and took numerous bullets to the chest before destroying the gun. The extent of Hellboy's strength is unclear, but he has, for example, torn down a large tree and hurled it at an opponent. He has also thrown opponents weighing at least four to five hundred pounds. Hellboy's right hand, referred to as the Right Hand of Doom, consists of a large forearm and hand that seems to be made from red stone. The Hand is effectively invulnerable and feels no pain, and is much like a sledgehammer when used to punch an enemy. Of course, being far larger than an ordinary human hand, the Right Hand of Doom is not very suitable for use with most objects, so he relies on his average-sized left hand to operate weapons and devices, although it has proved flexible enough to catch a fly. Because of this, he is most likely ambidextrous. More importantly, the Right Hand of Doom also is the key to "open the pit [of hell]" and has the "power to loose and command the dragon Ogdru Jahad;" in other words, it is a catalyst that will bring about Ragnarök/Armageddon/Apocalypse etc. The comic books themselves never actually mention how the Right Hand of Doom would actually perform these tasks, it is only ever announced that this is the case and that someone or something intends to do it with or without Hellboy's consent. It is made clear that it is not even necessary for the arm to be attached to Hellboy at all, even on its own it would perform its tasks, so to prevent it falling into the wrong hands Hellboy intends to keep the arm and protect it. In addition to his natural gifts, Hellboy carries a variety of religious items--such as holy relics, horseshoes, and herbs--in his utility belt, as well as a variety of grenades and other demolition tools. These often come in handy when fighting supernatural beasts. Hellboy commonly carries a large pistol. In the film adaptation, the gun is called the "Samaritan," and Hellboy states that he uses special bullets containing silver shavings, holy water, and other materials to ensure the weapon's effectiveness against supernatural creatures. It is also stated that the barrel is fashioned from melted-down fragments of iron church bells. [编辑] 毀天滅地之右手In Seed of Destruction, Hellboy is confronted by Rasputin and begins to find out what he is doing on Earth and who summoned him there. Hellboy's purpose will be to command the powers that Rasputin is about to unleash upon the world. Hellboy denies this version of his destiny and refuses to be controlled. Attempting to release the Ogdru Jahad, Rasputin is killed, harpooned through the chest by Abe Sapien under the control of the ghost of Elihu Cavendish. In Wake the Devil, Hellboy meets the Goddess Hecate. Hellboy, addressed as "Anung Un Rama", is told that his arrival on Earth signals its end. At the climax of the story Hellboy is swallowed by Hecate in the form of an iron maiden and some kind of other-worldly conflict ensues, in which he is told that his right hand is a key to open the pit. Again Hellboy refuses, this time breaking off his newly regrown horns, revealing what those two circles on his forehead are. In Box Full of Evil (collected in the The Right Hand of Doom TPB.), Igor Bromhead gains power over a demon, Ualac, by using that demon's name. Hellboy is also bound by his name, "Anung Un Rama", and the Crown of the Apocalypse, which he wears but is invisible to him, is taken. In taking the crown, Ualac is changed into a much more powerful demon. Hellboy finds out what his name means: "Anung Un Rama, World Destroyer, The Great Beast …" "… and upon his brow is set a crown of fire …". This is not who he is, and so not his name any longer. Ualac is defeated. The crown is kept for Hellboy by Astaroth, in Pandemonium, the capital city of Hell; and a seat is reserved for the former in the House of the Fly. In Strange Places, Hellboy's apparent destiny as the on-bringer of the Apocalypse continues to attract supernatural attention. After seeking advice from a fabled African witch-doctor, Hellboy dives to the treacherous ocean bottom. The Bog Roosh, a sinister sea hag, manages to capture him using an enchanted nail and a trio of flighty mermaids. The Bog Roosh then reveals her plan to prevent the end of the world by dismembering Hellboy and sending his Right Hand to the deepest depths, robbing the Ogdru Jahad of their key into this world. With the help of the third mermaid, Hellboy manages to defeat the hag, but is lost beneath the sea for two years. After washing up on the shores of an unknown island, Hellboy inadvertently resurrects an ancient mystic who alone holds the knowledge of the secret history of the universe. The origins of God, angels, the Earth, the Ogdru Jahad and their spawn are revealed, as well as the exact source of the Right Hand of Doom. Unfortunately for the mystic, he's been brought back to life by Hellboy's blood, and is driven insane by its demonic nature. Hellboy manages to defeat the increasingly malevolent being, as well as destroy the gargantuan Urgo-Hem, an Ogdru Jahad spawn that prowls the island. These struggles are watched with great interest by the Daoine Sidh, especially a certain changeling with an old grudge against Hellboy. The denizens of this faerie kingdom realize that Hellboy has left whatever destined path was meant for him, but none seem to doubt that the Ogdru Jahad will make use of his Hand in one way or another. The goddess Hecate seems content to simply wait for the end of the world to which she will bear witness, but Gruagach the changeling will not bow out of existence peacefully. [编辑] 經歷年表

[编辑] 其他媒體[编辑] Feature filmsGuillermo del Toro wrote and directed a film adaptation titled Hellboy in 2004. A screenplay was originally written by Peter Briggs in 1997. Del Toro, a fan of Mignola's work, had previously written the preface to Hellboy: Conqueror Worm. The film starred Ron Perlman as Hellboy (the favorite of both del Toro and Mike Mignola for the role), Selma Blair as Liz Sherman, Rupert Evans as FBI Special Agent John Myers (a character created for the film), John Hurt as Prof. Trevor Bruttenholm, Doug Jones as Abe Sapien (voiced by an uncredited David Hyde Pierce), Karel Roden as Rasputin, and Jeffrey Tambor as FBI Senior Special Agent Thomas Manning. The film received mixed but generally positive reviews and a fair performance at the box office. However, the film debuted in theaters as The Passion of the Christ was still playing, and, according to Guillermo del Toro's DVD commentary, some theaters would re-title the film on their signs, or outright refuse to play it to avoid running a "devil" movie against Passion. Many criticized a sequence following the battle in which Liz "explodes" and the heroes (knocked unconscious) awake captured by the villains, which led to accusations of poor writing and incomprehensibility. Roger Ebert made this comment in his review. It was later explained by Del Toro (in Roger Ebert's Movie Answer Man column) that after Liz's explosion there are several seconds of darkness with embers floating in the air. Films are delivered to theatres in separate reels and then spliced together to make a seamless presentation. Since the sequence came at the end of a reel, many projectionists took the large amount of darkness as leader film and cut it off not realizing there was a short sequence showing how the villains survived the attack and captures the heroes. The following reel starts with the heroes captured but with the previous scene missing it's incoherent. The scene makes sense on DVD. A sequel to this movie, Hellboy 2, is currently under development (for release in Summer of 2008) by director del Toro, and will feature the returning talents of Perlman and Blair (Jones is not yet signed on).[1] Columbia Pictures decided not to continue the franchise and Universal Pictures has picked it up instead. The only plot details given so far have alluded to a shift to more folklore rather than action, with heavy European overtones. It is also noted that the characters of Johann Kraus and Kate Corrigan have been added to the team, but Roger has not (he was, however, written into the plot as a very prominent character in early drafts of the script). Interestingly, Roger can be seen as a lifeless statue in the background of one shot in the first film. The cast for the first film, Perlman, Blair, Jones, and Hurt respectively, are expected to return. [编辑] Video gamesA Hellboy video game called Hellboy: Asylum Seeker was previously released for the PC and the PlayStation, by Cryo Interactive. It has no relation with the recent movie. On April 6, 2005, Hellboy movie director Guillermo Del Toro announced on his official site that he had made a deal with developer Konami to create a new Hellboy videogame based on the movie version of the character and his world, featuring new monsters, new villains, and a new storyline. Herman von Klempt and his war ape Kriegaffe #10 are slated to make appearances. On May 9, 2006, it was revealed that the Hellboy game would appear summer 2007, on PS3, Xbox 360, and PSP. It is being developed by Krome Studios. As well as single player where you get to play as Hellboy, the game will feature co-op play featuring the characters Abe Sapein and Liz Sherman.

[编辑] Animated filmsOn November 9, 2005, IDT Entertainment issued a press release announcing that the company had licensed the rights to develop "animated content for television and home entertainment" based on the Hellboy comic. Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Selma Blair (Liz Sherman), Doug Jones (Abe Sapien) and John Hurt (Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm) have all voiced their respective characters, and respected actress Peri Gilpin also joins the cast as Professor Kate Corrigan. Two 75-minute animated movies will air on the Cartoon Network and then be released on DVD, with the first one aired October 28, 2006. Both stories have much more in common with the comic-book Hellboy rather than the film - Abe Sapien is not psychic, for example, Hellboy and Liz are just friends, and the artwork and color palette is derived very closely from Mignola's original artwork. The DVD of Sword of Storms was released on Feb 6 2007, it contains documentry material commentary and a Hellboy comic Phantom Limbs [编辑] 參考文獻[编辑] 畫集

There is also the parodic Hellboy Junior comic book by Bill Wray (with contributions by Mike Mignola), but it exists outside the normal continuity. The Hellboy Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game has suggested that most of these novels are not canon. [编辑] 所得獎項The character and titles have received a good deal of recognition. The miniseries Hellboy: Conqueror Worm won a 2002 Eisner Award for Best Limited Series, while The Art of Hellboy won an Eisner in 2004 for Best Comics-Related Book.
