This time i decided to bring Spawn (Al Simmons) a little bit closer to you.

SPAWN

Spawn is a fictional comic book character created by Todd McFarlane.
Spawn primarily appears in a comic of the same name, published by
Image Comics, and his first appearance was in Spawn #1 (May 1992).







Albert Francis Simmons was a highly decorated Lieutenant Colonel
in the United Civilized States Marine Corps. He later joined the
United Civilized States Secret Service and became a highly decorated
member, most notably for saving the President in an assassination
attempt. This led to his promotion to the CIA. In the CIA, he was
recruited into a special division known as the U.C.S. Security Group,
a high-level task force with jurisdiction in all domestic and foreign
situations.Al questioned many of the actions of his agency, particular
of its director Jason Wynn, believing that certain missions involved
the unnecessary sacrifice of innocent civilians. Wynn and Simmons
began to butt heads more often and Simmons planned to resign. He returned
home, and beat Wanda in his blind rage at Wynn, something that would
rest heavily on Simmons' thoughts and haunt him later.Upon learning
of Al's resignation, Wynn ordered an assassin (initially Youngblood's
Chapel, but later retconned to be Jessica Priest after arguments with
Rob Liefeld) to murder Simmons.







Simmons was sent to Hell, due to his life as a mercenary, and made a
deal with Malebolgia: Al would be reborn a Hellspawn, a lieutenant in
Hell's army, if he is allowed to see his wife one final time.







Malebolgia returns Simmons to the world, but with little memory, a
badly disfigured body, limited yet seemingly boundless
magical powers,
and a monitor, the Clown, AKA Violator.
Simmons slowly realizes that five years have passed.
When he decides to visit Wanda for
his "one final visit", he shapeshifts
his body, but discovers his transformation forces cannot give him his former
appearance - he finds himself turned into an unknown white man. He discovers
that his wife, Wanda Blake, has since married his best friend, Terry Fitzgerald,
and the two have a daughter, Cyan. Now known as Spawn, Al's first few adventures
are anti-hero in nature: he takes down street gangs and organized crime
(including their enforcer Overtkill), and he kills a child molester/murderer
named Billy Kincaid. Most notable of all in his early adventures, Spawn would
encounter Dave Sim's Cerebus the Aardvark. Spawn encounters Anti-Spawn, who
is actually Jason Wynn (unknown to Al), and the Redeemer (A God-fearing
man transformed in a similar fashion as Wynn).

He survives an assault by Angela, an angel whose mission in Heaven is to
hunt Hellspawns for sport and claims the Medieval Spawn as one of her trophies.






As this occurs, he takes over the alleys that comprise "Rat City" and befriends
the homeless within it, becoming their champion. In particular, an old bum named
Cogliostro seems to know a lot about him. Cogliostro and the Clown act as polar
guides for Al, trying to convince him to use his powers for good and evil respectively.
The Clown shows that he can transform into his real form, a demon known as the
Violator. In his earliest adventures, he also encounters Harry Houdini who
teaches Spawn some new tricks,
saves Terry from being murdered by the mob
(leading to a bullet ripping up Spawn's face, which his friend Bobby ties
shut with a shoelace to conserve his energy timer), reveals that he is Al to Terry
(which Terry mysteriously forgets), and brings his friend Bobby back to life
after being killed by Chapel. Spawn would eventually encounter Cyan, who
takes the shoe lace from his face. "Shoestring face" Spawn would
remain one
of the iconic visuals of the character.
