Spawn (Al Simmons)

Albert Francis Simmons, also known as Al Simmons, Divine Spawn, Hellspawn, Ipsissimus, King Spawn, Omega Spawn, Spawn X, Spawny and The One, is the titular main protagonist from the Spawn series.
== Charactah Account ==
A highly trained assassin, murdered by his employer and former friend Chapel. Albert Al Francis Simmons sold his soul to Malebolgia, one of the many rulers of the Hell, in order to see his wife Wanda Blake again. Malebolgia had other things in mind for Al and sent him back to earth with no memory as a Hellspawn, one of his soldiers, to do his bidding. After realizing what he had lost, Al swore revenge, and became the vigilante known as Spawn.
The source of Spawn’s power comes from necroplasm. It is the necroplasm which gives him his strength and durability. His strength is capable of lifting an entire building and throwing it with ease. Necroplasm was originally dubbed by humans as Psychoplasm, but later in translation has become the green goo we're all more familiar with. Each Hellspawn is given 9:9:9:9 units of necroplasm and when that is gone they go straight back to Hell. Spawn’s main weapon however is his symbiotic suit. His suit is called Leetha of the 7th House of K or K7-Leetha.

== Trivia ==
* Spawn was inspired by Venom, Prowler, and Ghost Rider. He was also created by Todd to be the combination of Superman with some of Batman and Spider-Man in between.
* Al is implied multiple times throughout the series to be an atheist:
** In Issue #4, Malebolgia upon Al's appearance to Earth states that Spawn is an atheist.
** In Issue #101, Al tells Granny Blake that her philosophy including her "so-called God" is a lie and suggests that Heaven, Hell, and the Bible are fairy tales that never "have it right."
** In the interlude for Issue #150, it's stated that Al never believed in God or the Devil and had his own conception of Good and Evil.
** In Spawn Resurrection, Al states that he doesn't believe in God when he takes the appearance of his dog.
* Spawn was ranked #36 on IGN's list of Top 100 Comic Book Heroes.
* In 2012, Todd McFarlane sued his former employee Al Simmons for claiming he was the inspiration/namesake of Spawn.
* Spawn's favorite superhero is Supreme.
* Spawn's body is stated twice to be made of over 400 lbs. of psychoplasm. In issue #29, Andy Frank's wagon is said to withstand 450 pounds once he puts Spawn into it. By this logic, this would make Spawn no heavier than 450 lbs.
** However, by issue #294, Spawn is stated to have an 800-pound frame, implying that he got heavier overtime.
