Earl

History
Shortly after returning to Earth after his war in Hell, Al Simmons joined the Southpaws Gym to retrain himself to fight without his powers, and to maybe find some allies. Earl was one of several fellow patrons that began to befriend Al, particularly over their shared military backgrounds.

Eventually, Al decided to invite Earl to join him on his crusade against evil, beginning with a drug cartel in the city. Spawn revealed to Earl his past and his powers.

Earl reluctantly agreed to help from time to time, particularly because Al offered to help pay for his mother's medical care.
