I have a lot of history with this character and the mythology of Spawn in general. As a kid Spawn was the first comic book I picked up, I loved the costume and just the overall creepy feeling of it. Al Simmons is a guy who worked as an assassin but he was betrayed by the people he worked for and was killed as a result. He was giving a deal by a very powerful demon known as Malebolgia, Al said yes to the deal and was brought back to life as a general in Hells army a Hell Spawn. In the beginning when he was resurrected the memories of his previous life were gone, but as time went on he eventually remember his life. Al was not only a hell Spawn, but he was the chosen one, his powers begin to grow more and more so much so that even the higher ups in both Heaven and Hell began to fear him and what he could become. I love the fact that Al didn’t choose a side between Heaven or Hell, he figured screw both of them because to him they were both corrupt and untrustworthy. Thanks to a power upgrade given to him by M.O.M (Man Of Miracles) he was able to defeat both God and Satan and remade the world. But despite saving the world he still had to remain Spawn and could never go back to his wife, friends and family.
