HistoryEdit
Jim Downing was a mystery to everyone, including himself. He was comatose in a New York City hospital for years and when he finally awoke, he became the newest Spawn. Awakening
St. Anthony's Convalescent home on Long island was the home of Jim Downing for at least 4 years. As far as the staff could figure out, he had been there longer than any of them and his medical history file (if there ever was one) must have gotten misplaced or not transferred to the new computer system. No one even knew the extent of his condition or how he got there, the only information they had was the name Jim Downing and the identifier Patient 47.
One of Jim's nurses developed something of a crush on him. Despite him being unconscious she seemed to feel a connection to him and made it a point to spend extra time looking after Jim. The nurse was called “Sad Sara” by her coworkers because she was so quiet and isolated, but Sara took comfort being with Jim and she prayed for him every night.

One night, without warning, Jim awoke screaming – Sara's prayers had apparently been answered. She comforted Jim as he came to understand where he was. He awoke with no memories of his past whatsoever, not even his own name. Sara informed him that the name on his file was Jim Downing and that he had been in a coma for years. They also discussed her prayers, for which Jim was very grateful (186).
Unbeknownst to Jim or Sara, Jim's awakening triggered a staggering series of events. Within minutes of hearing the news, a lawyer in upstate New York named Bill Winston committed suicide (185). This led to an investigation led by detective Craig Rowand (186) that would eventually lead to involvement with Sam Burke, Twitch Williams and Jim Downing. A number of mysterious parties wanted Jim killed for some reason, and they sent hit men such as the Extractor (186) and Malcolm (198) to do the job. Every attempt failed, however, as it soon became clear that Jim Downing was more than just a man.

Powers and AbilitiesEditPowersWhile Spawn's abilities have fluctuated over the years, his core powers are derived from the necroplasm that makes up his body. This dense substance grants him superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and accelerated healing. His necroplasm also gives him necro-magic, a variety of supernatural powers including resurrecting the dead, firing blasts of necroplasmic energy, teleportation, flame-breathing, transmutation, manipulation of the elements, shape-shifting, flight, talking to animals, reading minds, invisibility, portal creation, time manipulation, soul manipulation, reality warping, regeneration, feeding off the sins of others to augment his strength and increase his necroplasm counter, and curing the sick. He can even unleash the very fury of Hell through his body, however, his magic is limited by a meter which starts at 9:9:9:9 and drains each time Spawn uses his necro-energy. He is also an empathic being, being able to sense the emotions of others whenever he chooses. but hes now no powers Abilities |
