RE: hellboy characters anyone!
They all start in the church? That's wild. Spread 'em out? Or, were they designed for a scenario? You might also want to generic up the keywords a little. Pyrokinetic -> psychic. ... -> Spirit. ... -> Aquatic.

Sorty to be so critical -- I just like keeping customs within the same power level as the oficial heroes. I do like a lot of what you did! There are some pretty cool effects I hadn't seen or thought of before.

Hellboy
* Interesting concept, the "counts as 2 heroes" restriction. It makes him extra-cautious about "instant kill" zombie cards like Bitten.
* Some wording tweaks: "Hellboy may roll 1 exxtra Fight Dice per zombie in his space. He ignores the effects of Locked Door."
* With The Samaritan, it's a little bit against convention for the way Ammo is used. It works, though. I'd also note that it counts as a ranged attack.
* Some wording tweaks: basically copy the wording of Revolver here.

Liz
* It's very much against convention for a hero to have only 2 wounds and not youth. I'd certainly never want to play her because of this.
* Interesting ability, Pyrokinetic. I like it. It needs some wording tweaks "is killed".
* Fire wave: What if Liz has no items? (Wording: "all items" instead of "cards"; heroes don't have events -- players do.) Maybe make her take a wound (or two, after you move her up to 3 wounds) instead of losing her turn.

Johann
* Possession's fun! Does Johann's figure lose his moves when possessing? Maybe: "Johann may give up his move action to possess a zombie up to 5 spaces away. That zombie fights all others in its space. It has 2 fight dice."
* Ectoplasmic Blast: Just way too potent! Compare to the existing (and already known as good!) item Fire Extinguisher.

Abe
* So he as Becky's ability [but better], Johnny's ability [but better] AND has a card searching ability that I'd say is better than Jake's?
* Okay, so all four are a little bit stronger than the official heroes -- but even amongst only them, Abe wins.
* Suggestions: Make Telepathy make him own against zombie heroes. Psychometry: make him always have an ability similar to the Junkyard's? Axe First Aid.

RE: hellboy characters anyone!
Very cool!!!
I'd also say uberpowerful but what ever floats your boat.
I see a few spelling errors in them but the cards look great overall.
Look forward to seeing some more.

They're definitely all pretty powerful. On the other hand, they really should be pretty powerful. Most of these characters wouldn't break a sweat at facing a few zombies.

To even things out, you might want to give some sort of tweak to the zombies, too. Give them a special Rasputin zombie, or something like that.

RE: hellboy characters anyone!
well i always use the zombie hoard and zombies auto spawn rules when they are used, that and if 2 people are facing the zombies (which always happens at my house) that's only a total of three player hero's, with the grave weapons expansion it seams pretty fair they still only win about half the time lol.
And yes and im aware i cant spell worth a hell, thanks for pointing that out that very helpful criticism! guess i get an f eh lol.

RE: hellboy characters anyone!
You do realize that, typically, the rules always have four heroes -- even with only two players? Each player controls two heroes.

I don't see your image files. No longer available wherever they're hosted?

I think my group is going to try custom characters next session. I wanted a HB card, thought I would check here first.

That is awesome! I love Hellboy, so I would definitely get a kick out of using these characters in my game. I like the abilities too. Pretty cool.
