| ~ General Harms revealing his allegiance to Mephisto. |
General Harms is the main antagonist in Vol. 1 of Hellverine.
He is the current leader of Weapon Plus' Hellfire Project and a high-ranked general in the U.S. military who continued off the previous experimental procedures under his jurisdiction and direction. Using the corpses of dead soldiers, he infused Hellfire energy with them to create weaponized zombies out of them called the "Destroyers", only for it to backfire as they were unleashed and began rampaging elsewhere outside the Pentagon. In order to track them all down and bring them back, he manipulates the Wolverine into hunting them all down on his behalf. Harms is eventually revealed to be in leagues with a demonic relic that granted him his abilities upon resurrection.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Before becoming the leader of Project Hellfire, General Harms is infamous for waging war and conflicts dispatched without the US Government's approval and in his own belief, for their behalf. Massacring both soldiers and innocent civilians from countries like the entirety of Asia, South America, Africa, the entire Middle East, and Eastern Europe via carving them bloody and hanging their corpses on top of trees, piling up their bodies and setting them ablaze, and even outright shooting them when they surrendered. It was so horrific that the narrative states he puts "red in red, white, and blue", contextualized in giving America a bad name.
- During another conflict, he massacred the enemy fighters' families when they hoist the white flag to surrender, only to proceed with needlessly killing them regardless.
- He made a deal with Mephisto upon getting into contact with a demon skull relic, fully pledged loyalty over him than the US Government. Thus committing treason against his country.
- Become the new leader of Project Hellfire, he has oversee demon corpses and bodies be used for experimentation to create hellfire energy, followed by requesting Dr. Spivey into crafting anti-demon weapons specifically utilized in handling anything demon-related.
- He had his men dig out the corpses of an elite fireteam belonging to Lt. Leland Townsend's squadron who died from an ambush to use as test subjects to create the ideal supersoldiers, infusing their corpses with hellfire energy to revive them - essentially the equivalent of necromancy, thus creating the Destroyers.
- As a result of the procedure, the energy proved too corruptible that left them too vulnerably insane and driven mad enough to kill everyone around, ranging from the head scientists, government officials, security guards, and other innocent people once they've set loose. While Harms didn't intend for them to be released and go on a bloody rampage, he remains incredibly indifferent to the bloodshed as long as he got them back.
- It's also proven to be a fate worse than death as the Destroyers are in mental pain over the state they're in to the point of either reuniting with their families or wish to be killed on a suicidal manner.
- Abducted Wolverine under belief that he is still Hellverine and manipulated him into helping them recapture the Destroyers, while lying he has no connections with them. Harms also planned to have Wolverine maimed alive by one of his Hellhounds in case any use he has over him is no longer needed, which setting the Hellhound loose nearly attack and endanger a mother and her child.
- When Leland Townsend barged into the Pentangle and threatened Dr. Spivey, Harms negotiated and enlisted him into becoming a living test subject to make him a Destroyer via hellfire energy. However, Harms' decision to enlist Leland when he pleaded and bargained is merely pragmatism than honoring their deal, only expressing interest to satiate his curiosity of testing a living person in his experiments.
- When the Madam Secretary is killed by one of the remaining Destroyers, he shoots a holy water-specialized rifle aimed at Hellverine when he arrived to stop the Destroyers, leading to him to reverting back to Akihiro and dying once again when Bagra-Ghul possesses Wolverine once more, only to vice versa and undo the effects.
- Modified the secretary's corpse with hellfire energy and plans on using her to possesses the entire country of the United States of America, bringing forth literal Hell that would plunge the world in war on a global scale and strife on laws that lead to riots on Mephisto's behalf. While the intentions were reliant by a theory in mind, it was made clear how vast and unpredictable hellfire energy would spread due to having demonic essences of fellow demons, as their lust for power through possessing others can expand on a massive scale.
- Attempted to kill both Wolverine and Hellverine for the final time.
- He holds very little regard for the soldiers who gave up their lives fighting for the US despite claiming he declared them as "heroes" out of respect, in actuality, viewed them as expendable to his project and is shown to have the arrogance to believe he has the full authority to control them under his grasp.
- Despite his partnership with the Madam Secretary, whom gave him a second chance with Project Hellfire, and Dr. Spivey, who was his assistant and chief scientist, it was at best defined by superficial terms.
- Harms would always guilt-trip her regarding Project Hellfire and the consequences of his actions of not maintaining control over the Destroyers, even when she called him out for his needless cruelty, something he shrugs off and instead rebukes the same blame onto her, let alone uncaring of her timely death and using her corpse for his own means.
- Harms' treatment to Spivey is no better, as he wasn't above abusing her when he smacked her away to get hold of the secretary's corpse and earlier didn't save her from being shot by Leland's threat, merely focusing on his best interests when hearing him out.
- While pledging loyalty to Mephisto, likewise, it is merely out of fanaticism, going on blatant rants on how Hell is on top of the hierarchy and a kingdom compared to how little the US as a country has to offer him.
