Spawn is a terrifying sight to behold. He is clad from head to toe in jet black armour which appears to absorb any light that hits it. Twin streaks of white, like jagged lightning strikes, cross symetrically across his chest. The design is repeated on a smaller scale on his mask, with white bands circling his eye sockets. His eyes themselves burn a luminous green colour, balefully looking at his surroundings.
On his hands he wears a pair of crimson gloves, each studded with an array of evil looking spikes across the knuckles. His forearms have red guards on them, also studded with shiny metal spikes.
A long blood red cloak hangs from his shoulders, massive in size. It seems to writhe and twitch all of its own accord, although there is seemingly no breeze to stir it. It hisses and writhes behind him like a restless spirit.
Background: Al Simmons was a top notch government assassin, a killer for hire if the price was right. During a seemingly routine mission to China, Al was once again paired with his long time partner and fellow mercenary Jim Chappel.
The mission was seemingly simple..... elimination of a small military splinter group the Chinese government had some unusual ties with. Unknown to AL, if he died during the operation, Chappel would get the full pay. At a critical moment, Chappel turned on Al and slew him with bursts from his twin machine pistols. AL died on that battlefield, while Chappel claimed the full cut. Al's last thoughts were of his wife Wanda......
AL's was surrounded by darkness. Then a voice called to him. 'I have a proposition. A deal, if you will.' Al listened. If he agreed to become a soldier in hells army, he could see Wanda for the last time. Foolishly he agreed.....
He was reborn as Spawn, a ranking soldier in hells army, a being with incredible powers. He was allowed to see Wanda for the last time, then he was to accept his fate. Only Spawn made a tough choice, and rebelled against his seemingly unavoidable fate, becoming a soldier for good.... trying to atone for all his past deeds. Yet he is still cursed.... and harassed by Violator, his charge from Hell. Malebogia, the devil, sent Violator to make sure Spawn accepted his violent ways and to join the ranks of hell. Yet he failed....
Now Spawn walks the Alley's protecting the homeless and the defenceless agains the evils of the world, all the time waiting for the final battle.... the war to end all wars, the final showdown between Heaven and Hell.
