Liz Sherman
“I’m learning to control it. I'm learning where it comes from. For the first time in my life, I'm not afraid.”
Elizabeth “Liz” Sherman is a pyrokinetic agent of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. After spending time in a mental hospital in an attempt to better control her powers, Liz rejoins the Bureau to fight alongside her love interest, the demon known as Hellboy.
