  • He was tricked into becoming hell's champion, but instead became its mortal enemy.
  • Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we will explore the comic book origins of Al Simmons, otherwise known as Spawn.
  • As with most comic book characters, there are often reimaginings and different versions to a character's past.
  • We have chosen to primarily follow the storyline which unfolded in 1992's Spawn, Volume 1. Al Simmons was once the world's greatest soldier and assassin.
  • In fact, he was enlisted as a member of the U.S. Security Group Task Force for saving the President's life.
  • While this seemed like the chance he had always wanted to better serve his country, it soon made him aware of the ugly truth behind the government's internal dealings.
  • This led to doubts and questions that eventually caught the attention of his superior, Jason Wynn.
  • Labeled a traitor, Al's partner and friend Chappell was ordered to assassinate him.
  • Upon his death, Al found himself engulfed in flame and sent straight to hell for having killed innocents in the service of his country.
  • Arriving in the underworld, Al pledged his soul to the ruler of the 8th sphere of hell, a demonic creature named Malbogia, in order to see his wife Wanda once again.
  • Because of the demon's twisted sense of humor, he was returned to Earth five years after his death, transformed into a hellspawn with a badly disfigured body and given little recollection of his past.
  • Al was likewise given a sentient, symbiotic suit and demonic powers.
  • These included superhuman strength, speed, agility, flight, as well as the ability to teleport, shapeshift and release necroplasmic energy bursts.
  • He also became immortal and immune to anything not originating from or modified by the spirit realm.
  • Despite his amnesia, Al's memories soon resurfaced and he realized the awful price he had paid.
  • His wife had remarried and had had a child with his best friend, Terry.
  • Regardless of this revelation, he vowed to protect Wanda and her new family, while secluding himself within the city's dark alleyways.
  • This prompted the appearance of a demonic, clown-looking guide called the Violator.
  • This demon revealed Spawn's mission on Earth, namely, to serve as Malbogia's general and most powerful servant, who would amass the army of souls needed to destroy Heaven.
  • This task was to be accomplished by committing acts of mass murder.
  • At first, Spawn played the role of anti-hero, only taking out thugs and child molesters.
  • However, his rage soon prompted him to fight off the Violator and renounce his pact, as he soon sought vengeance against Hell and those who had damned him.
  • During his ongoing struggle, he did battle with many of Hell's minions in a war to prevent a crusade against Heaven.
  • This caused him to meet many unlikely allies, such as a detective duo and an angel who hunted Hellspawn for sport.
  • Spawn even came to discover a mentor in the form of a mysterious old man named Kog, who was eventually revealed to have once been a Hellspawn himself.
  • A popular comic book anti-hero, Spawn continues to find himself caught between the forces of Heaven and Hell in a struggle for his redemption.
  • He has likewise received an overhauled look, enhanced powers, an acclaimed toy line, a feature film, and a mature-rated animated series.
