Liz Sherman

Liz Sherman

From the world of Hellboy comics came,
A woman with flames, Liz Sherman was her name,
A pyrokinetic, her powers set aflame,
A tortured soul, forever in shame.

Her past was dark, filled with pain,
A tragic childhood, an unhealed stain,
A firestarter, never to reign,
Her inner demons, she could not contain.

But with Hellboy, she found a home,
A family in the Bureau, she was not alone,
Protecting the world, her powers shone,
A hero in her own right, her courage known.

Through battles fought, her strength arose,
Conquered her fears, her light exposed,
A beacon of hope, her power now chose,
The good in her heart, forever shows.

So here's to Liz, and her fiery might,
Her struggles and triumphs, a shining light,
A woman of power, an inspiring sight,
In the world of comics, her story takes flight.
