We’re stepping away from anime characters for a minute.
And also prepping for David Harbour’s Hellboy.
I know that’s not coming until April, but we’re going to blink and it’ll be here, so I want to be prepared.
Plus, Hellboy already has been portrayed by Ron Pearlman and deserves a spot here regardless.
Although I think we’re going to make BOTH our hands just as useful tools.
Hellboy Stats:
Height: 6’11
Weight: 316 lbs
Real Name: Anung Un Rama
Powers: Yes
So Hellboy is pretty damn tall…
Especially when compared to the anime characters we’ve been seeing.
Vegeta were tied Wolverine for the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Moralesonly an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
Just above them are Aquaman, Red Hood and Punisher standing only an inch or so taller.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
And, of course, Hulk and Broly are both up there with them, and sometimes even portrayed much taller.
Yeah, that means All Might was the tallest at 7’2, only sometimes surpassed by The Hulk – and Zangief just missing the tallest spot at 7’0!
And I say “was” because Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Hellboy Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hellboy may get something specifically different)**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Hugh Jackman and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting daily, and I also use it myself in conjunction with cyclical ketosis.
That being said, I also recommend tracking and paying attention to protein intake.
BUT, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Oh, and if you’re down with calorie counting instead, that’s always an option as well. It’s just important to be aware of specific rules and precision while counting.
THE HELLBOY PORTION:
As I said before, “Hellboy may get something specifically different.”.
Well, that’s not completely true, but I also want to mention something that is really important for those of you who are looking to put on Hulk-like mass.
In order to gain weight you’re going to need to eat over your caloric maintenance level.
You need to eat MORE!
It’s important to also get enough protein daily (which we’ve mentioned), so counting macronutrients also really helps (which you can learn more about in the Nutrition Pillars).
So, EAT like a Hellboy would!!!

Hellboy Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
This is where I get to break down the “how” and “why” of the workout we’re going to build based on the characters, in this case Hellboy’s, powers and/or abilities.
For those of you who don’t know much about Hellboy, here’s what his Wiki tells us about his origins:
Conceived around in 1574 16th century, which Sarah Hughes, Anung’s mother, became a consort to a Azzael demon. Attempted to cover up her sins in her death bed, Azzael claimed her that Anung will be born and have his right hand chopped off and be replaced by the Right Hand Of Doom, Odgru’s tied up relic.
Azzael then send Anung away until the other demons discovered Azzael’s actions for what he did.
In 194, on the night of December 23rd, Anung managed to appear on Earth and appear as a ritual by Grigori and a Nazi-based Rangarok project.
However the half demon child had made his appearance in the churchyard when Sarah Hughes was kidnapped.
Founded by Prof. Trevor Bruttenholm, when he and a military group investigated about the motives of Project Rangarok. Befriending Anung as an infant and was renamed to Hellboy, he was raised secretly in the U.S Government and was taught, trained and educated to be a paranormal detective.
But, it’s followed up with his strengths and abilities.
Which is what we’re all here for, right?
Here’s what they have to list:
- Super Human Strength
- Super Human Durability
- Super Human Speed
- Enhanced Eye Sight
- Thermal Resistance: Due to his demonic heritage, he is immune to any high temperature and fire without having any discomforts. Though in the movies, he is more resilient of any fire and heat than his comic book counter parts. After that, he is immune to any forms or fire and heat, especially being electrocuted and Liz’s flame.
- Decelerated Ageing: Hellboy ages differently to any human life form. As a toddler, despite being two years old, he is about the size of a six year old.
- Innate Multilingualism: An innate ability to read ancient & magical language and translate them.
- Hand-to-Hand Combat Experience: Despite being more of a range person, he is known to be a master combat.
- Occult Knowledge: Is rather experience to Occult because through decades he is a paranormal detective.
- Regeneration
That’s a lot of stuff.
Hellboy turns out to be a pretty badass Superhero after all, huh?
We’re going to definitely work on the superhuman strength, durability, and speed, and even the hand to hand combat, but the rest might be on you.
Do you think you’re ready?
