SEE?! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
This is the story of two action figures and the girls who haven't realized that they're far too old to love them.Abe & Kroenen
Provides examples of:
- Back from the Dead: Rasputin.
- Bilingual Bonus: Mr. Wink, if you can decode runes.
- Butt-Monkey: Arthur Dent
- Brother–Sister Incest: Nuala and Nuada. Everyone sees this as creepy.
- Camp Gay: Abe, mildly. It doesn't help his action figure has a "limp wrist" as default. Post-appearance of Nuala he seems to have been retconned to "Camp Bisexual".
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Kroenen horrifically mutilated his own face, due to his surgical addiction and depression. Abe greatly prefers it when he keeps his mask on.
- Cloning Blues: Rasputin cloned Hellboy, but the clone was mute and not much of a match for the real thing. We'll see how the Kroenen one fares...
- Crossover: So far we've had characters from V for Vendetta, Sin City, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Also Botanicus is played by a figure of the Giant Sized Man-Thing.
- Death by Origin Story: Kroenen's goldfish.
- Doomsday Device: A lot.
- Elephant in the Living Room: Kroenen's Naziism rarely really addressed, and Abe tries to ignore his history as an assassin and mass murder.
- Giant Spider: Davy Jones' pet Starbuck.
- Has Two Mommies: At one point Abe proposes that they adopt a child. Kroenen lists off the many, many reasons that this would be a horrible idea given their species and allegiances."He vill not know whezer he is a Nazi or a fisch? And you cannot choose to be a fisch!"
- Interspecies Romance
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot
- Punch-Clock Villain: Kroenen, and later Samael,
- Replacement Goldfish: Very literally, as Kroenen's initial interest in Abe was caused by Abe reminding him of his childhood pet goldfish.
- Strange Bedfellows: Besides the literal example, Team Rasputin and the BPRD team up against the Ringwraiths.
- Straight Gay: Kroenen
- Stalker with a Crush: Kroenen, after Rasputin dies, constantly shadows Abe under the excuse of protecting him. Which was itself an excuse to get into the BPRD and monitor their actions to look for a way to bring back Rasputin.
- Stealth Hi/Bye: Kroenen, to Abe's constant annoyance.
- Suddenly Sexuality: Reversed, actually. Neither character had a defined sexuality (at least not before the second movie came out).
- Surrounded by Idiots: Rasputin complains of this, but it's more a case of Led By Idiot.
