Spawn was a supernatural being instilled with powers from Hell.
History[]
Albert Francis "Al" Simmons was an assassin who was murdered in Botswana by his partner, Bruce Stinson. Winding up in Hell, Simmons made a deal with the demon Malebolgia and returned to Earth with the powers of Spawn.
Early in his career, Spawn found himself in a strange world, where a mysterious grey aardvark explained some complicated truths of existence to him.[1]

Basis[]
- Spawn is the creation of writer/artist Todd McFarlane. He invited Dave Sim to write an issue, which resulted in the story "Crossing Over" in Spawn No. 10.
- Spawn would be parodied in Cerebus with the "Spore" identity Cerebus adopted to scare Todd McSpahn (himself a parody of McFarlane) and his followers.[2]
