Spawn – Dark Discoveries | Comics

An unscheduled demolition by the Mafia leveled up an entire building that belonged to a multinational firm who refused to cooperate with them. The flattening was performed by a cyborg assassin called Overtkill who also trashed the army troops on his way home. Spawn goes against Overtkill, hired by the local mob that is clearly disturbed by his interference in their work lately.

As he keeps perishing the goons and they are fade up on keep losing their men to him. After a good fight, Overtkill outmatches Spawn, causes him to run away only to come back when fully prepared. He soon demands a re-match against the cyborg killer. They met in the alleyways and fights again but this time Spawn’s heavy array of weaponaries proved more than his new cybernetic foe could handle.

Also, Spawn meets Cogliostro, another Hellspawn but he is an opposite to the clown Violator, he acts more like an advocate of him. A centuries old powerful arch nemesis from the side of Haven named Angela makes her appearance in the game. Angela used to prey upon the hosts of Hellspawn from the Medieval era to modern time by disguising herself as a helpless woman desperately seeking for protection.

Upon the arrival of her prey, she slowly lured them all into her trap before hunting them down. Though she was proven very effective for centuries to track down and hunt the Hellspawns, she faced the current Spawn only to be defeated by him for the first time ever in the history of her entire kind.

He recruited Simmons in a special top secret division with the jurisdiction in every internal and external affair out there. Often having less satisfactory explanation from director Wynn regarding their operation, Simmons was always tasked with the bloodiest missions. During a covert operation, Al Simmons is burned alive by his fellow operative Bruce Stinson AKA Chapel on order from his superiors for purpose unknown.

As soon as he died, Simmons was sent to Hell as he led his life as an assassin and there he agrees to became the host of Hellspawn, to serve Malebolgia; one of the rulers of Hell. Malebolgia resurrects him so that he could see his wife Wanda Blake again for one last time.

Though returned to Earth, he discovers that five years have already passed since he died and he cannot change back to his normal visage permanently even if he wanted to. Wanda has also moved on with his best friend Terry Fitzgerald and married him. With a powerful demon henchman of Malebolgia called the Violator monitoring his every move, Simmons is now to decide his upcoming actions as the eternal servant of Hell.
