Hell Gigantes is a gigantic humanoid robot with a horned head and a skull-like face. It has a bearded face on its chest and is adorned with a cape.
Personality[]
Dr. Hell is cruel and megalomaniacal, with the ambition of dominating the world. He has however shown some form of loyalty to Hades for giving him power.

Dr. Hell's strength is on par with the Z Mazinger, who is a remodeled Zeus (Z Mazinger). His skills in strategy are also good, but not usually successful against the Z Mazinger.
History[]
Dr. Hell first appeared at Tokyo where he attacked with a battalion of Mechanical Beasts. The body of Zeus piloted by Koji Kabuto appears and manages to ward off the Mechanical Beast. Dr. Hell is amused and says he'll return. Later when Baron Ashura reports Aphrodite is on Earth to Dr. Hell, he gives this information to Hades.
Dr. Hell appears again when Z Mazinger and Aphrodite A attack the Mechanical God base. He sends the Cerberus Mechanical Beast on them, but after one of the heads is destroyed; it attacks Hell Gigantes. As the Hell Gigantes is torn apart, Dr. Hell is finally killed in the explosion.
