In response to spawn's treasonous attack on Malebolgia, the cruel ruler of the Underworld creates a creature formed in the warped image of Al Simmons-the mortal mercenary soldier that became Spawn. Malebolgia sends this shadowy wraith on a quest to the world above. His mission? Find Spawn, capture him and bring him back to the Underworld to receive his punishment from Malebolgia. The ghostly shadow of Al Simmons wanders the Earth collecting trophies from all opponents that dare stand in his way of his relentless search for Spawn.
