Though he’s been revamped and renamed a number of times, most recently on TV as “Helstrom”, Damian Hellstrom will always be the Son of Satan to me. His alias is a throwback to a time when you could get away with more in comics, but he’s not the only member of the Sons of H-E-Double-Hockeysticks in the pages of our favorite comics books. Anung Un Rama came almost exactly 20 years after SoS, proving that comics are a cyclical business and leading to today’s diabolic query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) would go with Damian because Ron Perlman intimidates me, asking: Which infernal scion would you choose to save YOUR bacon: Hellboy or The Son of Satan?

Hellboy, specifically the comic version. I’d like how he’d just be “I’ts not a big deal, don’t worry about it” and then we’d go to beer, without saying a word in the whole time. Just the way we Finns like it.
DH, because Hellboy would only be saving me to live in a world that becomes literally Hell on Earth.
