Martha is a sinner demon and a minor antagonist of Helluva Boss who made her debut in "Murder Family".
As a human, Martha was the wife of Ralphie and the mother of two unnamed children. She drove Mrs. Mayberry past her breaking point after she was caught sleeping with the latter's husband.
After her death, she became a Sinner in Hell, and in "Apology Tour", is seen living with Mrs. Mayberry.
Appearance[]
Human[]
When she was human, Martha sported the appearance of a tall, hourglass-built and peach bud-skinned Southern Belle with wavy, hip-length blonde hair with two paler-colored streaks. Under her hair is a bandage wrapped around her forehead from Mrs. Mayberry's attacks.
Her eyes are coffee-brown with small pupils, long and thin eyelashes protruding from them, and a mole under the right eye. Her makeup consists of lavender eyeshadow and magenta lip gloss on her lips.
When being introduced, Martha wore a set of rather large, tiffany blue-colored circular dangle earrings, a white-trimmed tiffany blue-colored off-the-shoulder top, red bracelets on both her wrists, a knee-length, red polka-dotted cream skirt, and a pair of red high-heels.
During the majority of "Murder Family", Martha instead wore a skin-tight, off-the-shoulder, red polka-dotted cream top with tiffany blue-colored capri skinny jeans, though she still kept the earrings, bracelets and heels.
When she shows her true colors, her hair gets ruffled, her earrings turned into skulls, her jeans became ripped, her teeth became sharp, and her eyes turned red.
Sinner[]
As a sinner demon, Martha retains her body shape, but with more devilish features, as her skin has become red with her hands being black. Her hair is longer, thicker and bushier, and is now colored in a shade of grayish-purple with thin red streaks on the darker-colored highlights.
Her left eye has black sclera with a pink iris and a slit pupil, while her right is an empty black socket with black blood dripping out of it, as a nod to the wound that led to her death, and her upper eyelids are colored in a darker shade of her skin. She now sports black cloven hooves, a mouth with sharp teeth and dark red lips, and a pair of branch-like black horns with red accents protruding from her head.
Martha retains the same outfit, but with certain differences - her earrings are black skulls with red eyes, her top now has tears on the rims and with a black-trimmed, zig-zagged-shaped stripe running along the cleavage, and her jeans are longer and are now the same color as her horns.
Personality[]
At first glance, one would assume Martha and her family would be "happy and wholesome", as Moxxie described. In reality, Martha and her family are homicidal maniacs who worship Satan and his "dark work". She also appears to partake in cannibalism and human flaying with her family. She is shown to sleep with other men many times, though it is unclear if she had an open relationship or if she used it to lure in victims or was simply unfaithful.
Despite being a Satanist, Martha has a poor understanding of how Hell works as she was unaware that earthly fire could not kill nor banish demons, which she realized after trying to set Millie and Blitzo aflame.
As a sinner demon in Hell, Martha seems to have moved on in her afterlife. When Blitzo visits her, Martha is unhappy to see Blitzo but does not show direct animosity toward the imp. Another sign of this change is her living with Mrs. Mayberry, despite their sour relations in the past; her comment after Blitzo gave Mrs. Mayberry a look implied they were in a relationship.
Abilities[]
- Immortality - As a Sinner, Martha is biologically immortal, being unable to die from illnesses and unable to age, remaining the same age as when She died, thus can not die of old age and other natural causes. She also cannot die from any kind of damage to the body, and will recover from any injury, however, she can only be permanently killed with angelic weaponry.
Skillset[]
- Charisma - She was capable of tricking most people into believing she was a nice person and was well-liked by them, even being praised as a "hero" after she survived the attack from Mrs. Mayberry.
- Weapon proficiency - As shown in her debut episode, she is experienced at handling weaponry, particularly firearms.
