Liz Sherman

Liz Sherman is a firestarter who has been able to spontaneously generate and project fire since childhood. After a devastating early incident, she sought refuge and guidance with the B.P.R.D., the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, learning to control her formidable pyrokinetic abilities.

Few characters in Dark Horse's supernatural corner of comics carry the weight that Liz Sherman does — a figure who stepped onto the page in 1994's Hellboy: Seed of Destruction #3 and never really left the reader's imagination. Created by Arthur Adams and launched into the rich, moody Mignolaverse at the dawn of the Modern Age, she's spent nearly a quarter-century navigating some of the darkest corners of that universe alongside unforgettable company: Hellboy, Abe Sapien, Johann Kraus, and Kate Corrigan, among others. Her deepest roots run through B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth and B.P.R.D.: King of Fear, epic series that pushed the whole mythology to its limits and gave her some of her most consequential page time. For anyone tracing the spine of the Hellboy universe, Liz Sherman is essential reading.
