Hells Angel

This next character that I am going to talk about was not necessarily a superhero. Spawn was a great superhero that was actually a demon that fought for the good and not the evil. He was once a man named Al Simmons, that was killed by his boss and sent to hell, that made a deal with a demon named Malebogia to be reborn as an undead “ hell spawn “ in order for him to see his wife one last time. Simmons was returned to earth not as whom he once was but as badly disfigured body. His face and body was cut up from scares and burns. To hide his ugly marks, he wore a skin tight costume with a cape that in irony caused him to still look somewhat scary.


How can Spawn be considered a superhero if he was a demon? If Spawn was sent to hell and he made a deal with a demon, wouldn’t that make him out to be a bad person? Simmons was indeed sent to hell, but it was only because of the work that he did for his boss. He was actually a good honest person. Spawn is considered a superhero because he didn’t lead Malebolgia’s army. He fights for the city against the supernatural demons and other criminals to keep the Pease on the streets and people from harm as a source of his humanity.

Although Simmons is a part of the undead and, as Spawn, a protector of the streets, he has tremendous struggles. When he had returned to earth, it was five years time past, and his wife had remarried to his best friend and they had a daughter. Simmons struggles with his frustration of wanting to be with his wife, but tries to accept that she is happy with her family. He finds it hard to understand how his best friend could marry his wife after he was killed. But in despite of his frustration, he looks over them keeping them safe and away from harm. Spawn truly is “Hells Angel.”
