Home Bitter Home

In the Season Two premiere, Spawn's nightmares reveal that Al Simmons' killer was his mercenary ex-partner, Chapel. CIA chief Jason Wynn tells Chapel to find a cache of stolen guns before they are uncovered and traced back to him. Chapel's search leads him to Spawn, who reveals that he is the dead Al Simmons, causing Chapel to go mad.

Access Denied

Spawn is tortured by dreams of his former wife Wanda now sleeping with his onetime best friend Terry, and the manipulative Clown fuels the fire by trying to get Spawn to blame Terry for stealing his wife. Terry realizes his investigation is getting dangerous, and tells a disappointed Wanda he has to go away for a while to protect her.

Colors of Blood

When a pack of drug dealers starts terrorizing the homeless in Rat City, Gareb pleads with Spawn to get rid of them--initially to no avail. But after a ruthless killing, Spawn takes charge, 'eliminating' all the dealers except the leader, whom he leaves to the mercy of the homeless. Meanwhile, Wynn begins to shadow Wanda with hopes of tracking down Terry.

Send in the KKKlowns

With a serial killer on the loose, Wanda's search for her husband Terry hits a detour when Wynn's men follow and corner her. Appearing on the scene to eliminate the agents, Spawn allows Wanda to see him for the first time. Meanwhile, as Terry waits to rendezvous with his wife, he's abducted by the serial killer.

Deathblow

While Lisa Wu is investigating the murders of two other reporters, Terry is arrested by the police. Wynn blames Merrick for all his recent problems finding Terry; as punishment, he sends another agent to kill Wanda and Cyan. Spawn kills the agent--but frightens Wanda again. Cyan tells her mother that Spawn was the 'sad man' who saved her life.

Hellzapoppin

In the Season Two finale, Spawn takes the fight to Wynn, telling him that he is coming for him at midnight. Seeing his schemes crumble, Wynn tries to have his agents kill Lisa Wu as she draws closer to the truth--but Spawn ends up killing Wynn's men instead. Reaching Wynn at last, Spawn tells him his only chance for survival is to leave Terry and Wanda alone.

A Made Guy

In the Season Three premiere, Spawn is tormented by nightmares of a Medieval Black Knight hunting him and demanding that he acknowledge which Master he serves. Meanwhile, some twisted urban boys--Petey, Frankie and Bobby--take Frankie's friend Joey out on the town, and the night ends in murder.

Twitch is Down

Cog reveals that he was a Hellspawn who served Malbolgia as Merlin. When Wynn orders Chief Banks to find the man in the red cloak, Sam and Twitch are put on the task. Chapel reveals that Al Simmons has returned from Hell. Twitch meets reporter Lisa Wu, also on the Spawn trail, and finds that Al's death may be related to Spawn.

Seed of Hellspawn

After Cog informs Spawn of his shroud's powers, Spawn turns human in order to visit Wanda. Twitch, recovering in the hospital with a bullet in his skull, finds his memory foggy. Terry and Richard Sullivan, Vice Chairman of the NSC, try to expose Wynn's evil CIA dealings. Cog warns Spawn that a female Celestial Warrior, Jade, is hunting him.

Hunter's Moon

Victims are found torn apart and drained of blood in Spawn's alley. Sam and Twitch believe it is the work of the man in the red cloak. At the crime scene, Lisa Wu sees Lily, a Celestial outcast and vampire hired by Heaven to hunt down and kill the Hellspawn. During the climactic battle between Spawn and Lily, he is severely wounded.

Chasing the Serpent

Spawn has flashbacks of himself as Al Simmons sent downriver to capture Major Forsberg--guardian of the war mask of Ghengis Khan which contains the powers of Hell. We now realize that he is Wynn's mysterious prisoner. In hopes of redemption, Spawn sets out to free Forsberg. Meanwhile, Wanda searches for Terry, who has also been captured by Wynn.

Prophecy

In the series finale, Twitch remembers that Chief Banks shot him. At Al's grave, Jade confesses to Spawn that since she saved him, Heaven now has a bounty on her head. Two new Celestial Warriors appear and battle Spawn and Jade. Spawn visits Cyan's sick Granny and grants her desire to visit her dead husband. Spawn now realizes his powers need not be used for evil.
