Unmensch

Unmensch was a cyborg Nazi in the service of Ilsa Haupstein.

History

When Hellboy crashes through the roof of Giurescu Castle, Unmensch is ordered to attack him. Hellboy is hit several times with Unmensch's powerful mechanical arm, before the two go crashing through the floor, where Unmensch disappears. However, Hellboy does managed to discover the mechanized monster's detached arm, and later, his severed head.

Abilities

Unmensch's mechanical arm can extend due to a chain linking to his fist. Unmensch has enhanced strength.

Trivia

• "Unmensch" is the combination of the prefix "un-" (meaning "not") and the German word "mensch" (meaning "human"). Unmensch therefore can be interpreted as "inhuman", which plays in reference to both a monstrous appearance and sadistic behavior.
• The concept of a mechanical right arm linked to a extensible/retractable chained fist was adapted into the design of the troll Mr. Wink in the film Hellboy II: The Golden Army.
