When you’re dealing with imps, angels, humans and demons, it’s safe to say you’re
going to have a wide range of power levels. Some characters seem like they’re just barely
able to win a fight while others rely on their skills and weapons proficiency,
and of course you have the ones who just rely on raw strength and power. But out of all of these,
who’s the most powerful person down in Vivziepop’s version of Hell?
I’m Kifinosi with WickedBinge, and this is Helluva Boss characters: Weak to Powerful.
With this list, we’re going to be sticking to main and secondary characters for the most part,
with a few fan favorites thrown in for good measure. Additionally, at the time of writing,
we’ve only gotten two episodes of episode two, so any characters that show up after will not
be included on this list - but hey, let us know if you ever want us to do an update on this ranking!
As always, we’re going to be starting with the weakest characters before
working our way up to the most powerful AND the most dangerous.
First up on our ranking, the one who we consider to be the weakest Helluva Boss character so far
is the teen-girl owlette, Octavia. Being the young heiress of the Goetia family,
Octavia isn’t exactly the type of character who would be getting into fights with people like
the other characters of this show. We haven’t even really seen her throw so much as a punch. As such,
it’s hard to really judge how powerful she currently is - and it’s just as hard to judge
how powerful she could potentially become in the future. She doesn’t seem all too strong or skilled
in fighting, and she doesn’t seem to have the same powers as her father, Stolas. What’s more,
when she tried to use Stolas’ grimoire book to “see the stars”, while she was able to activate
it, she struggled with accurately using it to get what she wanted. While she may prove
to be more powerful in the future, we can’t really put her any higher up for right now.
Next up, we have Agents One and Two of D.H.O.R.K.S. Frankly, being two humans
in a world secretly filled with demons already put these two at a disadvantage. While they’re
implied to be the top agents at D.H.O.R.K.S., the agency itself is thought to be filled with
mostly kooks anyway so… not much of a flex as far as other characters are concerned. They do have
plenty of gadgets and weapons at their disposal that they likely know how to use, but their only
real ‘win’ is when they manage to briefly corner I.M.P., getting video footage of them and Stolas.
When it comes to fighting, they nor their agents can hardly stand a chance against our favorite
team of imp assassins - and the fact that they’re using melee weapons primarily from the Edo period
of Japan instead of actual firearms for the sake of ‘looking cool’ further speaks to their
incompetence. We’re willing to cut them a bit of leeway, however, as if they were fighting anyone
other than literal demons, they’d probably stand a better chance and would cause a lot more damage.
Following them is another duo - inventing partners and eternal besties Loopty Goopty
and Lyle Lipton. While many may consider them to be goofy one-off characters - and… yeah,
they pretty much are - we still have to give them some credit in that their
gadgets and intelligence combined are able to allow them to be a step above the rest,
both in life and in death. Because they’re so smart and talented with inventing, they’re able
to arm themselves with destructive weapons pretty much the moment they arrive in Hell,
and their wealth and status also gives them a bit of a power boost, albeit in a societal way. But,
much like with characters like Octavia, we still haven’t really seen them in an all out
fight and don’t know how they’d do against characters who we HAVE seen thrown down. We
can’t say that these two are all talk - and hey, sometimes brains to be brawns - but when
you’re up against bullets and supernatural abilities, that can only get you so far.
Next on our list are the only so-called ‘good’ characters of the show, the Cherubs - Cletus,
Collin and Keenie. Much like the team at I.M.P. and their supernatural abilities,
the Cherubs’ heavenly nature allows them to take a lot of damage while still being able to
walk it off - as we see in their commercial. So, right off the bat, they’ve got some pretty good
defense. It also helps that they have the power of flight, giving them both a defensive and offensive
advantage. Despite being a form of angels, they still wield crossbows armed with golden arrows
that act as an effective long-range weapon, essentially being their version of the guns
that I.M.P. uses. But for as surprisingly willing as these guys are to put up a fight, their small
size and lack of any additional attack powers still keep them on the weaker side of things.
From cherubs to pop-stars, next up is Verosika Mayday. Although not one of the top demons of
Hell, Verosika manages to still have a high status thanks to both her musical talents
and her looks. This isn’t too much of a shock, since she is a succubus after all - and as such,
she has almost siren-esque abilities with her songs when she sings to humans, making them
fall for her immediately. Her back-up dancers and singers, who are also incubuses and succubuses,
can also help with this - and as for the targets who get TOO clingy, she has her
hell-hound bodyguard on stand-by. But while she is popular and fairly powerful in her own right,
this seems to be the only power she has. Sure, it’s nothing to sneeze at and can give her an
advantage in certain situations, but we feel she would still struggle somewhat in
a fight where she had to rely on more physical skills. That being said, she at the very least
has a height advantage over characters like Blitz, which can still help with intimidation.
Entering the top half of our list, we’re ranking Martha and her Murder Family. It’s
almost funny just how far apart the show’s humans are in terms of power - and again,
it all seems to come down to weaponry. Though she sometimes comes off as sweet and southern
belle-like, Martha is monstrous to her core - with her family being just as bad as her,
along with being just as skilled when it comes to killing. Arming herself with shotguns,
Martha has a killer aim, allowing her to actually injure and corner most of the members of I.M.P.
Her husband, Ralphie, is actually able to go toe-to-toe with Millie and even knocks her out,
while her kids are able to tie up Moxxie with little to no trouble at all. Ultimately though,
what brings their ranking down some is that they are still human, so it only
takes one good shot - as Moxxie eventually demonstrates - to take them down for good.
Following them is, funnily enough, Martha’s killer himself - Moxxie. When it comes to
Moxxie’s skill and power level, there’s actually a lot to praise. Perhaps second to only Blitz,
Moxxie is great with guns and has proven to have extremely good aim even when the situation’s dire,
even being able to take out several D.H.O.R.K.S. agents at once all while covering for Blitz.
Moxxie also knows how to be quick on his feet and, for the most part, manages to be the most
level-headed person in his team. Unfortunately, Moxxie also has quite a few weaknesses. While
other imps his size are still able to put up a physical fight, Moxxie really struggles in
this department and is really lacking in muscle, causing him to easily get overwhelmed when he’s
without his guns - as we see in his fight against Striker, when he has to deal with Verosika’s gang
or even when humans manage to get ahold of him. Moxxie is also quick to panic at times, causing
him to make dumb or foolish mistakes, and has the most moral code out of the four I.M.P. members,
which can also cause him to struggle with certain actions. Really, if it weren't for
his amazing aim and his demon durability, he probably would have been ranked a bit lower.
Next on our list, we have Stolas’ ex, Stella. One thing Stella seems to make clear from the
moment we meet her is that while she may come off as somewhat lady-like and sophisticated,
she has no qualms with getting her hands dirty. Much like a bird of prey,
Stella seems to be the type to go directly for the throat whenever possible, even strangling one of
her family’s servants as a child. Like any other owl-demon, she has claws and a super shark beak,
and despite a lack of any visual muscles she’s still strong enough to toss around imps and
large potted plants like they weigh nothing to her. Additionally, much like Verosika, she has
plenty of status and wealth as well - so, if she ever struggled or was lacking in her own power,
she’d still have the means to hire someone to fight for her, like she did with hiring the
snake assassin, Striker. We still had to take a couple of points away for her reliance on others,
but we still acknowledge that she can do quite a bit of damage on her own in a pinch.
Following her is arguably the most bloodthirsty member of I.M.P., Millie. While not impossible
to beat, it would be VERY unwise to try starting a fight with Millie. Able to wield melee weapons
such as axes that are twice her size, Millie is athletic, strong, fast and is extremely
good at getting in kill-shots. She can take on multiple armed humans, killing them all in
several seconds and even snapping the neck of one using her thighs, and we’ve even seen her
fight and kill a giant sea monster. Her teeth certainly aren’t anything to mess with either,
and while she prefers knives or other sharp weapons, she’s still able to effectively use
guns. Really, what keeps her out of the very top is her ‘glass cannon’ status. Basically,
while she’s practically unstoppable when on the defense, she isn’t the best at taking a hit.
Both Martha’s husband and Striker were able to briefly incapacitate her despite Millie’s
prowess and ability to still get a few good hits in, with a simple bear trap keeping Millie out
of the final fight of the latter episode. It really is a shame that for as awesome
of a powerhouse that Millie is, her defense and durability could certainly use some work.
Since the guy he’s based off of hasn’t been shown in an actual fight yet,
we’re going to be ranking Robo-Fizz next. Taking on the persona of the famous Fizzarolli,
Robo-Fizz has his own talents and strengths thanks to being entirely robotic instead of
only having robot limbs. In his fight with Blitz, he’s shown to be extremely flexible,
almost like a rubber-hose cartoon. He can also turn his head at a 90-degree angle with ease,
with this combined with robotic reflexes allowing him to catch bullets with his
teeth. His most dangerous ability, however, is his cartwheel ability,
being so fast that he can destroy anything in his path - much like a certain hedgehog's Spin Dash.
Add in the fact that his robotic nature makes him pretty durable, being able to withstand fire and
bombs without getting completely obliterated, still continuing to fight even while just in
his exoskin. Not even the real Fizzarolli can do that - at least, as far as we know.
Managing to land just outside the Podium of Power, we have Striker. Outside of another
imp who we’ll get to in a bit, Striker is an assassin extraordinaire and is probably one
of the best in Hell. He’s physically fit, able to be agile and sly while still having enough
muscle on him to properly pin down enemies. He nearly kills Moxxie with only his bare hands,
trying to suffocate him after the imp learns about his secret job,
and even after taking several stab wounds, Striker is still able to get the upper hand
over Millie in their fight. As for Blitz, the two are about even when it comes to physical fights,
with Striker certainly having better manipulation skills as well as some pretty handy escape skills.
We can also be certain that he’s got pretty good aim, given that he’s a hired gun and all. Overall,
Striker easily makes for one of the most powerful characters in Helluva Boss - but while he has no
major weaknesses, there are still a few characters who outrank this snake-demon.
Getting the Bronze Medal of Power is I.M.P.’s hellhound, Loona. Simply put, Loona has all
the advantages of being an anthropomorphic wolf-creature. She’s extremely strong, fast,
agile, and fierce, being armed with her own claws and razor-sharp teeth
as her main weapons. She can toss around both imps and demons like it’s nothing,
and it’s extremely rare for her to be outmatched or overpowered. Loona, surprisingly enough,
also has quite a few stealthy abilities - such as her transformation power that allows her to go
undercover as a human and her tracking abilities, which came in handy when she had to help figure
out where Octavia was. Additionally, like with Millie, she knows how to use guns well even if
they aren’t her weapon of choice. Honestly, her only real weakness is that she’s still young,
meaning she can be pretty emotionally volatile, which can hamper her abilities at times.
For our Silver Medal of Power, we have Prince Stolas. He may look like just another rich-boy
who doesn’t know how to fight and thus has to rely on guards to protect him, but there
is a reason the Goetia family is one of such high status. What he may lack in physical capabilities,
Stolas more than makes up for in magical and demonic abilities. Using his grimoire,
he’s able to access different spells and even open portals to the human world - and although
he’s a bit weaker without it, Stolas is still able to do basic spells such as disguising himself as
a human, turn demons to stone with just a look, or (possibly his freakiest power) possessing the
bodies of humans so that they can summon him, like we see him do with the D.H.O.R.K.S. agents. He’s
also able to go full demonic owl when he’s truly angry, and we can only imagine what damage he’s
able to do in this form. Between his status and his otherworldly abilities, as well as the fact
that he’s impervious to most things, meaning that assassins need a special type of bullet in
order to kill him, Stolas easily outranks most of Helluva Boss’ cast - keyword being ‘most’.
Finally, our Gold Medal of Power is going to Blitz. It may seem a bit silly to put Blitz
above someone as high-ranking and mystical as Stolas, but we truly feel that his killing
abilities allow him to take our top spot. After all, Stolas relies on his magic to defend himself
and would likely be in a ton of trouble if he didn’t have those powers or extra forms. But
Blitz? Blitz can pretty much use anything as a weapon if he tries hard enough. From melee to
guns to his own hands, if he can figure out a way to kill someone, he’ll do it. Safe to say,
his abilities outrank both Moxxie and Millie. He can also be stealthy when he wants to be and knows
how to think on his feet, even if he sometimes makes dumb choices. Furthermore, Blitz just has
the most experience when it comes to fighting - he’s the one we’ve seen in combat the most,
and while others may have him on the ropes sometimes, Blitz always finds a way to come out
on top. He’s the only imp in Hell who’s managed to form his own assassin business, managing to figure
out how to rise above his lowly status, and it’s really not hard to see how he was able to do this.
