Item Biography
"Box Full of Evil, Part 2"
*While Abe is being tortured by the evil monkey, Hellboy is being flailed to death by Bromhead. Ualac, who has donned the Crown of the Beast and become formidable, stops him. Ualac plans to remove Hellboy's Right Hand of Doom and steal that great power. Hellboy has guardian angels, Dagda, King of the Tuatha de Danaan, who comes to council him thru a vision on a strategy for victory. Hellboy breaks free of Bromhead's spell, and defeats Ualac. Bromhead flees, right into the hands of Abe Sapien, who has fought his way free from the monkey. In the scuffle, Bromhead's protective amulet is broken, removing his protection from evil. Ignorant of this, Bromhead invokes Astaroth, Prince of Hell, who arrives and punishes Bromhead, re-captures Ualac, and tells Hellboy that his throne in Hell awaits him. *Source: Warlock
