The Sign: Cancer, the crab

The Hero: Hellboy, various comics and films.

Known For: Difficult parental issues (was literally born in Hell) and generally downplaying his past (despite being both the heir to a throne and a descendant of King Arthur). Gruff and grumbly, largely as a defense mechanism. A powerful force for good who has saved the world more than once, but isn’t comfortable with being praised for it. Feels like a misfit, hangs out with other misfits, is in love with a misfit, saves the world from… well, you get it. Technically a demon but still has a lot of love to give.

Favorite things: Keeping the world safe from spooky threats that no, aren’t a figment of your imagination after all! Getting the job done quickly and efficiently so he can return to the comfort of his home, his cats, and his Baby Ruth bars.

Quote: “I can promise you two things. One: I’ll always look this good. Two: I’ll never give up on you… ever.”

Compatible with: Scorpio and Pisces

Fatal Flaw? You’d think someone who fights supernatural evil who has so many emotional connections to people would have that leveraged against him plenty… and he does. He just punches his way through it with his enormous Right Hand Of Doom… which by the way, was designed to bring on The End Of The World.  Yeah, I guess it’s a good thing he reins in his feelings as much as he does…
