He was born to end the world.

But he chose to save it instead.

Hellboy’s destiny was written long before he walked the Earth: summoned in fire, branded Anung Un Rama, and given the Right Hand of Doom to bring about the apocalypse. But destiny didn’t win. Choice did.

In this episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains, we dive into the paradox of Hellboy:

– His infernal origins and the prophecy tied to his name

– The burden of carrying the Right Hand of Doom

– His struggle between monster, man, and protector

– Why choosing humanity over fate made him one of the greatest heroes in comics

Because Hellboy proves that fate is not the end of the story.

It’s only the beginning.

Thunderwing wasn’t chasing glory.

He was chasing salvation.

In his mind, the Matrix had chosen him to lead Cybertron out of ruin. But faith became obsession, and obsession consumed him. Across comics and continuities, Thunderwing transformed from a devoted believer into a nightmare—a warrior who fused himself with the Matrix and lost everything in the process.

In this episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains, we unravel the tragedy of Thunderwing:

– His Marvel Comics rise as a zealot who believed he was chosen

– How the Matrix twisted his faith into madness

– His monstrous resurrection in IDW as a weaponized husk

– And why conviction without humility always curdles into destruction

Because Thunderwing’s legacy isn’t salvation.

It’s a warning—about what happens when belief becomes blind.

What if the very thing that made you powerful—

Was also what made you dangerous?

Grimlock was built to be a weapon. A force of fury and steel. A leader who could crush armies. But his story across Transformers lore reveals a harsher truth: strength without wisdom doesn’t build—it destroys.

In this episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains, we explore Grimlock’s legacy:

– His origin as a weapon forged for battle

– His rise and fall as the Dinobot commander

– The struggles between rage, leadership, and restraint in Marvel and IDW

– Why true strength isn’t in power—but in knowing when not to use it

Because Grimlock proves that without wisdom, strength becomes a curse.
