Hellboy 12: Johann Kraus - comic version

Johann's body was destroyed during a séance and the B.P.R.D. developed a suit which allowed him to regain control of his form. He became a member of the B.P.R.D. and can temporarily give form to the dead, and allow them to comunicate with the living. He can also sense souls that have left their bodies, allowing him to detect if someone is dead or "playing possum."
