A young Professor Trevor Bruttenholm of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.), decides to adopt and raise this devilish-looking boy after naming him “Hellboy”. By the time he was eight, the boy joined the Bureau as a paranormal investigator and through Bruttenholm's guidance he soon becomes an occult expert with extensive knowledge on that particular subject.

Though he grew up only a little on age but got an appearance of a full-grown middle-aged man with two horns on top of his forehead and a red skin. Despite having a demonic origin, he actually cares for the humans. Being the son of the demon Azzael, he possess super strength as well as nearly limitless endurance and the invulnerable massive forearm made from red stone, called the "Right Hand of Doom".

In his years as an active agent for the Bureau, he worked on cases of possession, haunting, exorcism, enchantments and fought creatures like Vampires, Werewolves and other mystical monsters as well. Following many of his investigative missions, he is often aided by his fellow teammate Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, Johann Kraus and B.P.R.D.'s finest field agents.

A man named Louis Banque greets him and leads him to the room where his uncle is kept. He is surprised to see Black Tom in a way he never expected. A newly patched-up Black Tom and Juggernaut team up and attacks Deadpool to obtain a briefcase he previously stole from Mr. Gezdbadah earlier that holds valuable information of everyone's interest and with Deadpool around, it never happens in a typical way.

Fatal Attractions | Comics

Fabian Cortez, the new leader of The Acolytes, attacks on the headquarters of “Project: Wideawake”, a recently developed sentinel program funded by the government at Camp Hayden.

Meanwhile, Exodus shows up to Cable's X-Force team to offer them all sanctuary from a mysterious greater power. Exodus in fact came to offer them shelter to Avalon, which was Cable's former headquarter Graymalkin in the past and the mysterious person with greater power is none other than a previously thought-dead Magneto himself, who has taken over the base and upgraded it with Shi'ar technology. Before teleporting with X-Force from Avalon, Cable nearly escapes death from the hands of the mutant master of magnetism.

Along with his team of Acolytes, Magneto came to meet the X-Men at Westchester during the funeral for Colossus' sister Illyana Rasputin, who died of the Legacy Virus that has crippled the entire mutant community for some time. After a brief fight between the X-Men and the Acolytes, Colossus switched his alliance with Magneto as he has lost his faith in the ways of Xavier and the X-Men.

Professor Xavier led the team of Jean Grey, Gambit, Quicksilver, Rogue and Wolverine to Avalon after Magneto unleashes an electromagnetic pulse causing havoc to Earth's entire electrical system, as an answer to "Magneto Protocols" by UN. After getting stabbed by Wolverine in battle, an enraged Magneto forcibly tore out the Adamantium out of Wolverine's body that led him to a near death experience as he was unable to heal himself from major injuries.

This sudden act of violence made Professor X snap and he mind-wipes Magneto in retaliation, leaving him into a vegetative state on Avalon. The X-Men took Wolverine back to their base for treatment as he was being unable to regenerate himself and Colossus left behind to look after Magneto.
