He was having a booze party along with the street bums of New York that he gave protection to but also remembers who his killer is. His old friend Chapel did it once and now he is confident that he can kill Simmons one more time. The clown henchman of the devil; The Violator recalls an age old encounter of him with the Hellspawn of Medieval Age which took place ages ago. As his pathetic butt was being ridiculously kicked out by the Medieval Spawn, he describes a fake story of his own featuring fearsome counters to promote his viciousness. This one becomes an imaginary and vague narration of the evil of his own sadistic history to entertain himself a little.

Angela | Comics

To keep the darkness of existence in check, Angela is a warrior of Heaven assigned to eliminate the hosts of Hellspawn over the centuries. She is perhaps the best among her kind and also the most experienced as she has killed 30 of them. However, when she faced Al Simmons in combat, she experienced defeat for the first time. She was tested on a trial on her 100,000th birthday for treason and her greatest rival comes to testify for her but things went wrong and they are forced to flee.

Angela | Comics

In the final battle between Spawn and Malebolgia, she came in aid for the latter and gutted the demon with her Dimensional Lance. When she was leaving Hell, she is impaled by Malebolgia with her own weapon. Spawn carried her away and a group of angels comes to take Angela's body.

When Wolverine unintentionally damages the time-stream of the Omniverse during Age of Ultron, Angela is dragged from Heven and found her way into Midgard. Looking for revenge on the one responsible for bringing her here, she engages in a fight with Gamora but then is assisted by Guardians of the Galaxy on her quest.

Later, Uatu, the Watcher's eye reveals that she is the daughter of Odin and the long-lost sister of Thor and Loki, an Asgardian named Aldrif Odinsdottir. She was apparently killed in the Queen of Angels as a child and Odin then severs the link to other Nine Realms from Heven. This revelation and afterward a trip to Heven to exorcize Surtur's spirit from her younger sister Laussa Odinsdottir revoked her entrance in Tenth Realm permanently.

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.

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.

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.

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.
