Lyle Lipton

"Heaven?! You don’t make millions in technological advances by not experimenting on the poor!"

- Lyle Lipton, explaining why he is in Hell

Lyle Lipton is a character in Helluva Boss. In the season one episode, C.H.E.R.U.B, he becomes the target of assassination of I.M.P due to his old business partner, Loopty Goopty, wanting to prevent him from taking over the business they co-founded, Lyle-Loopty Robotics.

Skillset

 * Wide Intellect: Lyle is shown to be quite the genius, as he and his business partner invented an anti-aging machine, and co-founded a company that eventually grew into a technological empire.

Death
While C.H.E.R.U.B. was trying to stop Lyle from hanging himself,  I.M.P. tried to make him do it. During his final moments, C.H.E.R.U.B. took him to an opera concert, while Blitzo accidentally murdered the star with a falling light. C.H.E.R.U.B. began to fight with I.M.P on the rafters. On the ground, Lyle realized that he can buy anything with money, and that he doesn't have to kill himself. Cletus tried to kill Blitzo with a magical crossbow, but a stray arrow accidentally let loose a metal beam. The beam landed on a wooden plank, which catapulted a piano in the air, which crushed Lyle, killing him instantly.

Trivia

 * Lyle's demon form resembles that of Bigweld from the movie, Robots.
 * Lyle's demon teeth being piano keys is a nod to his cause of death.
 * It is also a possible reference to classic cartoons where a character, crushed by a piano, is then seen with keys having replaced their teeth.
