X-Men are one of the most popular superhero bands in the reign of comic-dom and the mind 90's is considered as the time when too many X-Titles were available out there. During "The Phalanx Covenant" crossover event, writer Scott Lobdell (The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix, Alpha Flight) and artist superstar Chris Bachalo (Amazing Spider-Man, Dark Reign – The Sinister Spider-Man) came up with the idea of a new spin-off series of the popular Uncanny X-Men team, thus creating the new monthly comic series Generation X.

The series started publication from Marvel Comics in 1994 and then concluded its run with issue #75 in 2001. It was one of the top order comic cool on that time. Chris Bachalo did many of the issues from its start and it is always a delight to enjoy his artwork.

Spawn – Beginnings | Comics
Al Simmons was a former member of U.S. Marine Crops, also worked with the C.I.A. as a special agent trained for black ops. He was brutally murdered by his fellow agent in a twisted conspiracy while in the line of duty. Just because he was leading the life of an assassin in earth, he was sent straight to Hell upon death. One of the prime ruler of Hell, only known as Malebolgia offers him to join his cause, a war against Heaven and become his appointed herald, the Hellspawn. To see his widowed wife Wanda Blake for one last time, Simmons struck the deal with the devil at a cost that he wasn't completely aware of. With a burnt and disfigured appearance he returns to earth with his new super powers from Hell.

With his newly gained uncanny super-powers, Al Simmons desperately tries to re-construct his appearance many times but is unable to do so with perfection. Also he completely shatters emotionally when he come to know that five years have already passed since he had died and his beloved wife Wanda has since moved on with his best friend Terry Fitzgerald in Al's long time absence. Soon, he meets a clown like demon called The Violator who happens to be one of Malebolgia's evil lieutenants and the clown suddenly engages in a fierce battle with Spawn. Seeing this nonsense conflict, Malebolgia steps in to stop them from tearing each other and with no one left there is to care for, Al is now doubtful about his own destiny. He then goes after a psychotic child murderer who escaped the grasp of justice in plain sight and still at large.
