Plot:
It’s a dark and stormy night, the type where nightmarish images are predominant. Cogliostro, our narrator and resident Obi Wan Kenobi type, tells of how now is the
time for the new warrior. In an alley, two reporters want to talk with an informant on a big story. The informant and a reporter are shot.
The shooters are interrogating the reporter and are about to barbecue him. But, Spawn drops in because, it’s not right to set reporters aflame in alleys. A fight breaks
out if by trying to shoot Spawn which is a bad idea.
Not quite bulletproof...
Spawn finishes the killers off quickly and brutally. The gas soaked reporter is scared by everything and grabs a gun. Spawn warns him not to shoot which the reporter
doesn’t heed. A spark from gun sets the gasoline to burning.
Spawn has a flashback, the first of many. He remembers a woman. Violator, the fat clown-faced pygmy, watches this with interest. Spawn can’t remember anything,
takes his mask off to discover his face hideously disfigured. This is worse than Michael Jackson….
Some bums find Spawn, who suddenly remembers Wanda his wife. Gareb, one of the bums, tries to friendly with Spawn, who doesn’t want any friends. Cogliostro
gives a bit of mystical advice and, Spawn isn’t impressed by it.
The police are investigating the torching, etc all…. Sam and Twitch are there to investigate. Sam is a fat slob. Twitch is a little nervous looking guy. The dead mob
guys worked for Tony Twist. They need to find a connection between the reporters and what happened here.
Spawn has another flashback. That’s pretty much all he does. Act intimidating and have flashbacks. Spawn is hiding in the neighborhood where Wanda lives. He sees
his friend Terry leaving and Wanda goes out to kiss him goodbye. Spawn’s wife has remarried his best friend and has a daughter, Cyan. Violator starts taunting
Spawn. It’s been 5 years since he died. Spawn was Al Simmons a government assassin. Spawn can’t believe what Violator is telling him.
Spawn digs up his grave; Al Simmons’s grave and sees the body. Spawn takes the wedding ring off of Al’s finger. This would understandably upset anyone. Al sits up, grabs
Spawn, and tells him about selling his soul to Malebolgia. The deal was Al would be allowed to see Wanda and become Hellspawn, a ranking officer in the devil’s army. Spawn
destroys the corpse and places it back in the coffin.
Tony Twist is complaining to Wynne about losing his hit men. Tony’s half naked girlfriends are in the background cowering. Tony thinks that Wynne is behind
things. Wynne will take care of Tony if he doesn’t watch about saying things like that.
A Senator is grateful that Wynne took care of the reporters. The big story is the Senator has an illegitimate son. Granted in politics, that isn’t that shocking except the illegitimate
son is a child killer.
2 cops pull over an Internal Affairs cop and are about to beat him. The beating is started and continues until Spawn interferes. Spawn tosses the cops around and then
leaves. Violator is happy about it.
Sunny day, kids are playing in a peaceful neighborhood. The local ice cream truck pulls up driven by the creepiest ice cream truck driver, Billy Kincaid, who gets one
of the kids in the truck and drives away.
Spawn is haunted by another flashback. In the rainy alley, we see him playing with his wedding ring. Guy drives by and throws a garbage bag in the alley, a teddy bear falls out
of the bag. No rocket science degree is necessary in this sluggish economy to know that the little girl, Billy picked up in the last scene is dead. Gareb tells Spawn about how kids are
being dumped in the alleys. Gareb keeps trying to befriend Spawn. Spawn unmasks to reveal his disfigured face which Gareb is completely fine concerning.
At the bum council, they all want Spawn except for Gareb. A van crashes the meeting. A number of Tony’s wise guys rough the bums up wanting information on who killed
Tony’s boys earlier. Spawn gets mad and gets rid of the wise guys fast except for one to deliver a message to Tony: stay out of the alleys. Finally, the bums are glad to
have Spawn around.
Tony gets the message and calls to get a special hit man in on the deal.
Wanda has to defend Kyle Watson, the accused child killer. She’s pretty nervous about it.
