History Awesome / Hellboy

* Hellboys' final fight. After all the weird monsters, the EldritchAbominations, the mad sorcerers and mythological figures, what is his final battle? [[spoiler: A motherfucking DRAGON. A manifestation of the Ogdru Jahad, he fights it, as it later turns out, atop Big Ben and kills it with a sword made from the Queen of Bloods hatred.]] If that isn't awesome, I don't know what is.

--> "Dr. Manning, suck my ectoplasmic ''shawnstucker''.

** And to further reiterate, he [[spoiler: threatened ''Hell itself'' into letting Liz go]]... '''and it did'''.

* Kroenen himself. Especially in the first scene when he [[spoiler:shoots his gun eight times, using up all the bullets, and then pulls his knives from at the back of his belt and kills a whole lot more of them]].

* Kroenen himself. Especially in the first scene when he [[spoiler:shoots his gun five times, using up all the bullets, and then pulls his knives from at the back of his belt and kills a whole lot more of them]].

* Hellboy is (apparently) at Kroenen's mercy, until Manning throws a cog the Nazi, distracting him long enough to let Hellboy [[spoiler: pull him into the spike pit. Then he drops a giant machine cog on him. And Manning adds insult to injury by dropping the rest of his smaller cogs on him as well.]] Then he teaches Hellboy the proper way to light a cigar.

---> *Hellboy [[spoiler:tears off his horns, preventing the Ogdru Jahad from escaping*]]

[[spoiler: '''Rasputin:''']] What have you done?

*** So much so, that [[{{Tropers/Crazael}} This Troper]] has made a 4E [[DungeonsAndDragons DnD]] character explicitly to copy Nuada's [[{{Badass}} badassery]].
*** Eladrin fighter or rogue?

--> "He disclosed to me the child's true name. Would you like to know it?"

* John Myers gets one during that scene. After being a useless bystander for most of the film, he's ultimately the one who derails Rasputin's plan by persuading Hellboy to chose his own path. He also axe kicks TheDragon in the face.
** Speaking of Liz, "You Should Be Running."
* Hellboy is (apparently) at Kroenen's mercy, until Manning distracts the Nazi, letting Hellboy [[spoiler: pull him into the spike pit. Then he drops a giant machine cog on him. And Manning adds insult to injury by dropping a handful of smaller cogs on him as well]].
* Not as awesome as intimidating a Cosmic Horror, Prof. Bruttenholm's final scene is pretty impressive. Confronted by Kroenen, Rasputin, and the certainty of a very stabby death, he faces it like a man, faith never wavering.

* Has no one mentioned Kroenen himself yet? Especially in the first scene when he [[spoiler:shoots his gun five times, using up all the bullets, and then pulls his knives from at the back of his belt and kills a whole lot more of them]].

* ''{{Hellboy}} II: The Golden Army'' has Johann Krauss who beats the living shit out of Hellboy by using ectoplasmic win plus locker doors. Later on, when the Golden Army awakens, Krauss takes control of one of the soldiers and starts mauling the rest of them in a spectacular case of ColorCodedForYourConvenience.

* ''{{Hellboy}} I'' when the titular character [[spoiler:tore off his horns.]]
** And [[spoiler:proceeds to stab Rasputin with one!]]
** And after that, when he tells Liz Sherman what he said [[spoiler:to bring her back to life: "Hey, you, on the other side -- let her go. Because for her I will cross over, and then you'll be sorry."]]

* Not as awesome as intimidating a Cosmic Horror, but I was always impressed with Prof. Bruttenholm's final scene. Confronted by Kronen, Rasputin, and the certainty of a very stabby death, he faces it like a man, faith never wavering.

--> "I already know what to call him. I call him . . . son."

*** Also, Abe managing to briefly delay Wink from capturing Nuala. Okay, not that impressive in the grand scale of things - it was only brief, and Abe's fighting style consisted of not being where ever Wink was punching at the time, but when you're the teams resident NonActionGuy, going up against TheBrute mano a mano (er, fish-mano a demon-cyborg-mano) and not getting immediately beaten to death is pretty badass.

* In ''Box Full Of Evil'', he [[spoiler:defeats Ualac by ripping off his newly grown [[HornedHumanoid horns]] and ''stabbing him with them'']].
