Biography

Liz est née à Kansas City le 15 avril 1962. Alors qu'elle a une enfance normale, à l'âge de 10 ans elle se « découvre » des dons de pyrokinésie. Pensant que cela est dû à ses péchés, elle tente de supprimer ces effets par de nombreuses prières. Elle parvient à stopper ces pouvoirs jusqu'en juillet 1973, où elle perd le contrôle. Elle provoque une grosse explosion qui détruit quasiment un quartier entier. Ses parents, son frère et son chien meurent durant cet accident. Elle a également une autre perte de contrôle le 4 juillet 1984.

Après avoir perdu toute sa famille, elle erre de familles d'accueil en famille d'accueil. En 1979, elle est recrutée par le BPRD, le Bureau de Recherche et de Défense sur le Paranormal (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense dans la version originale). Elle y apprend à vraiment contrôler ses pouvoirs et devient un agent en 1980. Elle y fait souvent équipe avec Hellboy, un démon œuvrant pour le bien, et Abe Sapien, un homme-poisson très intelligent. Mais les traumatismes liés à son enfance lui posent beaucoup de problèmes relationnels. Elle quitte à plusieurs reprises le BPRD. Elle partira notamment dans l'Oural où elle vivra avec des moines. Ils lui apprendront à dompter à la perfection ses pouvoirs.


Relation avec Hellboy
Alors qu'elle est seulement amie avec Hellboy dans les comics, elle en tombe amoureuse dans le film Hellboy avant de tomber enceinte de jumeaux dans Hellboy II : Les Légions d'or maudites.

In a series of flashbacks played in reverse chronological order it is related that in 1939, Professor Trevor Bruttenholm investigated a series of murders in Eastern Europe. Erzebet Ondrushko, a vampire who bathed in the blood of innocents to stay young, was responsible. She had sold her soul to the Queen of Witches, the goddess Hecate, and had just kidnapped the fiancee of one of the townsmen. When the search party confronted Erzebet in her castle, all members of the party were horribly killed, and Bruttenholm was left to face her alone. He tricked her into the sunlight, effectively destroying her.

In 1944, the Nazis build a dimensional portal off the coast of Scotland. With the help of Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin, they intend to free the Ogdru Jahad—monstrous entities imprisoned in deep space—to aid them in defeating the Allies. Rasputin knows this will be an apocalyptic event that he believes will create a paradise. He opens the portal with the aid of his disciples, Ilsa von Haupstein and Obersturmbannführer Karl Ruprecht Kroenen, member of the Thule Society and Adolf Hitler's top assassin. An Allied team is sent to destroy the portal, guided by young Trevor Bruttenholm, who is well-versed in the occult. The German team is killed and the portal is destroyed—in the process absorbing Rasputin—while Haupstein and Kroenen escape. The Allied team discovers that an infant demon with a right hand of stone came through the portal; they dub him "Hellboy" and Bruttenholm adopts him.
