The Hellboy II official site has released a new character poster and this time it's Johann Krauss. Click the image below for a larger version.
Now, you may be wondering why his face is being obscured by mist. But that is his face, kind of. It's all of him. Krauss, an ally of big red, is entirely composed of psychic ectoplasmic spirit, but maintains some kind of form by remaing trapped in a suit. So, yeah, that's pretty weird.

| RE: New Hellboy II Character Poster | Johann's an awesome character. He was a respected Medium but during some cataclysmic event his body was destroyed. Unlucky for his guests, they were destroyed too, but Johann was out of his body at the time.
He's a useful chap. The suit he wears is just a way to give him physical form. In the comics he's able to escape the suit via these vents in the suits fingers. This allows him to make contact with things... like bones etc... and use his crazy ghost-whisperer abilities.

Don't know much about Johann Krauss because I only read Hellboy and not the B.P.R.D. spin-off comic ( In the funny-books Hellboy recently got very angry with the bureu and walked ) but he's a very Mignola character and, as with the previous film, has retained all that with the Guillermo hints there too. I like! More

Really looking forward to this. Shame my son isn't old enough to go to the pictures. He's 18 months and loves the animated films More

For someone who isn't very clued up on the comic books it isn't making me run to the box office! It might be ok if you're a fan of the comics, but bad marketing for the wider audience! More

Johann is from the B.P.R.D. spin off series, and has never actually met HB in the printed form of Mignola's universe. The basic concept is retained, but the film version looks a bit more industrial compared to the book's 'gas in a man shaped bag' look.

I don't know much about the character, but he looks really cool! Reminds me of the film The Mist, which I can't wait to see. More
