So, I know this is going to make me seem like a total Hellboy junkie, but in reality I'm still just becoming familiar with this comic. It's just interesting to me the way in which Hellboy is so willful (maybe his strongest attribute in my mind). He refuses to be the kind of being other people (including, but not limited to demons from hell) expect or want him to be. I think it's fairly common advice to "fulfill your potential" and to do things in your life that help you to bring out your potential. But it's not that Hellboy is denying his potential, just the potential that others want him to have. There's a big difference.
