"Traitors and rebels... demons and damned... Choose your sides. The king of Hell has returned!" ― Spawn
Spawn (also known as Al Simmons) is the titular main character of the Spawn franchise.
Background[]
Albert Francis Simmons was an obedient agent of the CIA who was tasked with assassinations and black ops. Eventually, Al Simmons was transferred to a new division under the supervision of the CIA director Jason Wynn. After Simmons stopped being useful to Wynn and became a potential danger, Wynn sent Simmons on a suicide mission where he would be killed by his best assassin.
Due to his life as an assassin, Al Simmons was sent to hell. Malebolgia, the lord of the eighth circle, struck a deal with Spawn to give him new life. Al Simmons agreed to become the commander of hell's armies in order to see his wife again. When Al Simmons was sent back to Earth, he discovered that he was turned into a grotesque hellspawn. Ever since, Spawn opposed the forces of hell as both heaven and hell confronted him as his new enemies.
Stats[]
Attack Potency: Varies. Up to Multiverse Level at his peak (A creature of hell can be weaker if they are not knowledgeable of their powers. At the peak of his power, he defeated Malebolgia with the help of Angela, who had previously defeated the Argus and the Kron, both of which threatened reality. The death of the Argus and the Kron caused half of all known dimensions to shake "like a cheap snowglobe." After killing Malebolgia, Spawn's war cry shook all circles of hell and many worlds.) | Multiverse Level (Should compare to Mammon. Mammon stated there is only one thing in the universe that can kill him and Spawn was not it, which likely makes him far superior to the Argus and the Kron. The absence of a king of Hell causes the circles of hell, which are all infinite in size, to bleed together.) | High Dimensional Level (Has the powers of a god, and was believed to be capable of stopping God and Satan. God stated that emotions are powerful and can split timelines, which will always result in infinite points of time, and God should be superior to all other things in the universe, barring Satan, who also seems to have power over emotion due to giving mankind free will) | Multiverse Level (As strong as he was without god powers) | Multiverse Level (Omega Spawns as a species are believes to almost be as strong as Malebolgia when he is at full power.) | High Dimensional Level (Seemingly gained power after some time. Can destroy all of existence according to two reliable sources. Posed a serious threat to Satan and caused serious injuries to him. Was gifted a sword from God that is capable of seriously hurting Satan.) | At least City Block Level, (Lost a great deal of his powers. Should be stronger than he was when he was a human, thus making him comparable to Chapel and Overt-Kill. Overt-Kill destroyed a cannon capable of destroying two city blocks in one shot. Youngblood tech is stated as being capable of blowing up city blocks in one shot.) possibly Town Level (Even the weakest demons can survive the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.) | Higher Dimensional Level (Regained the powers he lost after the Satan Saga. Cogliostro believed that anyone who possessed Spawn's suit would be greater than God in power.)
Speed: Varies. At least Infinite at his peak (Has fought with angels, who are one with the Ethereal Flux, which can travel across universes. Universes in Spawn are infinite in size. Should be superior to Abdiel, who could move after 3 dimensional seconds elapsed and intended to fly to heaven on his own.) | At least Infinite, (On par with, if not superior to Malebolgia, who can regulate and transfer souls between heaven, hell, and Earth. Should be superior to the former guide of Limbo, who could manipulate and guide souls to either heaven or hell.) Omnipresent in Hell | Omnipresent (Comparable to God and Satan) | At least Infinite (Should be as fast as he was without god powers) | At least Infinite (Fought with Jim Downing and had the advantage for a great deal of the fight. Comparable to Malebolgia.) | At least Infinite (Caught Satan off-guard. Now easily defeats angels and demons.) | Possibly Relativistic (Likely compares to his power as a beginner hellspawn, who could react to being thrusted at lightspeed. His suit deflected a laser from Overt-Kill.) | At least Infinite (Regained his powers from the Satan Saga.)
Durability: Varies. Up to Multiverse Level at his peak (The powers of a creature of hell fluctuate if they do not understand their powers. Additionally, if Leetha, his suit, is weak, then he becomes weak as well. Can fight evenly with angels and demons, including Angela and her superiors.) | Multiverse Level (Should be as tough as Mammon and Malebolgia.) | High Dimensional Level (Took hits from Zera while massively holding back, who is the strongest angel. Was believed to be capable of fighting with God and Satan, although they one-shot him with a powerful blast so they could focus on fighting each other instead.) | Multiverse Level (As tough as he was without God powers) | Multiverse Level (Took a lot of hits from Jim Downing and was not nearly as affected as he was by Omega Spawn's attacks.) | High Dimensional Level (Took hits from Satan. Was attacked by thousands of demons and took them all out without difficulty in one issue.) | At least City Block Level, (Survived an explosion that dwarfed a building as a beginner hellspawn low on necroplasm.) possibly Town Level (The weakest demons can survive Hiroshima and Nagasaki's blasts) | Higher Dimensional Level (Couldn't be challenged by one of heaven's elite even remotely. Every time he was injured by human, demon, or angel, he was elaborately faking it to set them up.)
Hax: Energy Manipulation and Absorption, Transmutation, Existential Erasure, Time Manipulation, Telepathy, Matter Manipulation, Immortality, Statistics Amplification, Precognition, Teleportation, Reality-Warping, Creation, Intangibility, Size Manipulation, Shape-Shifting, Clairvoyance, likely far more (his powers are apparently only limited to his imagination) | All previous powers, in addition to omnipresence | All previous powers | All previous powers | All previous powers | Unknown | All previous powers, in addition to Sealing and Resurrection
Intelligence: High. Started an elaborate plan involving years of deliberate losses and suffering to make himself stronger than God and Satan. Was a combat expert as Al Simmons.
Stamina: Potentially Limitless. As an ordinary hellspawn as the creatures of hell will provide him sustenance and energy from anywhere on Earth. Limitless after becoming king of Hell.
