Hellboy: Almost Colossus 2-A

"Almost Colossus, Part 2"

Hellboy and Kate have stumbled on the site involved with the disappearance of the Romanian corpses, and unwittingly, have nearly found the creature that the BPRD is desperately seeking, Roger the homunculus. Roger's evil brother is intent on perfecting the art of artificial life. He wants Roger to join him in transforming themselves into a colossus, made from the molten flesh of the stolen corpses. Roger refuses, and his brother transforms himself to a seemingly unstoppable colossus, intent on killing the interlopers. Roger sees the evil in it, and uses his fire power to end his brothers threat. Roger reluctantly returns to BPRD headquarters, where Liz Sherman has moments ago passed away. Roger returns her 'spark', and brings her back to life, returning himself to an in-animate state.
