Why is Hellboy's arm so big?
As it turns out, Hellboy wasn't born with this powerful appendage, so where exactly did his Right Hand of Doom come from? Simply put, it's not really his. It actually belonged to a being called Anum, who was part of a race of spirits called the Watchers, created by God to watch over the world.
Origins: Originally owned by the great spirit Anum that watched over earth's birth, the indestructible Right Hand of Doom was grafted onto Hellboy when he was just a child by his father Azzael.
Having immense hatred for his horns, representations of his devilish nature, Hellboy routinely files them down to stubs to prevent himself from giving in to his darker side. In the films, he does this to maintain a somewhat "normal" appearance among his colleagues at B.P.R.D.
The descendants of Earp say that the gun he carried during his time in Tombstone, Ariz. and probably used in the shootout at the O.K. Corral, was his Colt . 45-caliber revolver. There is the myth that during the 1881 shootout, Wyatt Earp used a Smith & Wesson American Model revolver.

Weaknesses. Heavenly-forged weapons: Like traditional demons, Hellboy can be hurt or even killed by holy weapons, such as his rosary that burns his skin. This is only the case in the film and while he's 'evil' - in the comics, he is unaffected by holy symbols and relics because he is 'no ordinary creature of Hell.
Hellboy is the child of the demon Azzael and the witch Sarah Hughes, former B.P.R.D. agent and the unwilling Harbinger of the Apocalypse. He is also known as "Anung Un Rama", although this name does not exclusively refer to him.
Hellboy was created for evil. He was supposed to initiate the destruction of the world. Instead, he chooses to rewrite his destiny, overcome his hardwired malevolence and save all of humanity.

This version of Michael is depicted as Lucifer's twin brother, and in opposition to Lucifer's nature, he is calculating and scheming, a frequent liar, and is able to bring out people's fears in a manner similar to Lucifer's ability to bring out their desires.
Liz got close enough to tell Hellboy he was going to be a father to twins. After averting the Apocalypse and a shotgun wedding, Liz gave birth to two quarter-demon children, Brigette and TJ, both inheriting their father's rapid aging process, which meant Liz and Hellboy had to do some growing up of their own.
