Spawn

Synopsis: Spawn is a fictional comic book superhero created in 1992 by Todd McFarlane at fledgling publisher (at the time) Image Comics. The character was covert ops mercenary who was killed in action and sent to hell because of his life as an assassin. Making a deal with a devil, Simmons agrees to become a Hellspawn and serve Malebolgia if he is allowed to see his wife, Wanda, one last time. Spawn was adapted into a 1997 feature film, an HBO animated series lasting from 1997 until 1999, and a series of action figures whose high level of detail made McFarlane Toys known in the toy industry.
