History

He was a colleague of Dr. Kabuto, a well-meaning scientist, and accompanied him on an archeological expedition where they discovered the remains of an ancient civilization that had the technology to build giant robotic warriors. Hell stole the technology and used it to create an army of fighting machines with which he planned to conquer the world. Dr. Kabuto used this technology coupled with an alloy he'd created to build a robot, Mazinger Z, to halt Hell's plans for world conquest.


Again and again Dr. Hell's robots were destroyed by Mazinger Z, sometimes due to the in-fighting between his lieutenants Baron Ashura and Count Blocken. After nearly all of his robots had been destroyed Mazinger Z and his allies traveled to Dr. Hell's island headquarters, and Hell and Count Blocken were apparently killed while attempting to flee in the Gool, their giant airship.

Dr. Hell returned, disguised as the Great Marshall of Hell, to take command of the forces of the Mycene Kingdom in Great Mazinger. Great Mazinger(グレートマジンガー) is the name of a manga comic book and anime television series by manga artist Go Nagai, made as a direct continuation of the successful Mazinger Z series. ...


Subordinates and Collaborators

  • Baron Ashura: Hell puts together the halves of two mummies (male and female) to create his first servant. Despite his loyalty, Ashura repeatedly fails to achieve Hell's goals and it's often humilliated and punished. He his demoted and forced to collaborate with Count Blocken, who eventually becomes Dr. Hell's only loyal henchman after Ashura's death. Hell takes advantage of their rivalry and even covertly encourages it at times, even though many times it's more an obstacle than a motivation. Dr. Hell finally acknowledges Ashura's commitment after his demise, builds a statue and a mechanical beast resembling his double face, (Jet Fire P1) and swears to avenge his demise.
  • Count Blocken: Blocken is a cyborg, a general (probably a Nazi one) brought back to life by Hell after being beheaded in a car accident. He becomes Dr. Hell's right hand and competes fiercely with Ashura to achieve glory in battle. Hell usually helds him in a rather higher esteem compared to Ashura.
  • Viscount Pigman: Again, another cyborg created by Dr. Hell, putting together the body of a large tribal warrior and the upper body of a pygmy sorcerer instead of the head. Pigman appears briefly during the Mazinger Z series, and eventually rebels against Hell, steals Glory R2 and attempts to defeat Mazinger on his own.
  • Archduke Gorgon: Gorgon is a harbinger from the Mikene Empire, and in the Mazinger Z series he plays an ambivalent role, both of alliance and treason with Hell. He provides him with powerful Warrior Beasts, but his true goal is to use Hell's forces to eliminate Mazinger and then take over with Mikene's own. Allegedly, they forge a deal in the Island of Bardos to collaborate in Mazinger's destruction, but at the end of the series, when the time comes Gorgon leaves Hell to his own fate alone.

Other Versions

  • In Tranzor Z, the American imported version, Dr. Hell was called Dr. Demon.
