Powers
[edit]
Original
Spawn himself is quite dense, weighing four hundred pounds, and is composed completely of necroplasm. This gives him super strength and durability.

Spawn wears a living symbiotic costume. Its cape, spikes, chains, and skulls are all part of one organism that will protect Spawn even if he is unconscious. Violator once said the suits feed on souls, though later on the costume began to feed on maggots and insects.

Spawn has vast magical powers. In the issues before issue #50, Spawn had a limited power supply or "9999". Each time Spawn used his energy, the counter would drain. Because of this reason, he relied primarily on his costume's natural abilities in fights. Other than the counter, the only limit was Spawn's imagination. Though he always tried not to expend a lot of magic, he has been shown using it for a variety of effects including resurrecting the dead, firing blasts of necroplasmic energy, teleportation, shapeshifting, and curing the sick.

Spawn still retains the military training and weapons expertise from his days as a soldier and thus frequently used guns as an alternative to his magic.

[edit]
After Issue 50
Currently, Spawn's power is endless. There was even a brief period after issue #100 where Spawn was practically a god. At the time no one was able to harm him in any way. Spawn has altered his physical appearance at times, and his body is a living weapon. His suit even "matures", by morphing into different variations. The most notable changes being the "Third Age" suit, in which his power was at its highest, nearly making him on par with God. He is able to transform any part of his suit and/or body into whatever he sees fit for the current situation. The only human characteristics Spawn retains now are his emotion and the ability to feel pain...he does not grow tired, feel fatigue, or even need to breathe. Should Spawn be injured while in battle, his suit is the one to feel the blow, as a result, if his suit is severely injured, Spawn may be rendered helpless. Other abilities now include super speed, super strength that enables him to throw around skyscrapers, hellblasts that can topple ancient gods and said to be strong enough to burn down the gates of Heaven, matter alteration and transmutation, incredible regeneration, unbreakable chains, control over nature, and even the ability to stop time dead in its tracks. He is also able to use mental powers to subdue enemies, once cornering Jason Wynn, and "ripping" all the skin from his body. At least, that is what Jason's mind thought. Al Simmons carries on his fearless warrior attitude, having beaten sky fathers and beings seemingly far above sky fathers, never letting an opponents scope or power intimidate him.

[edit]
Greenworld
Spawn has also been granted the powers of the "Greenworld". While these powers are not directly described, they appear to give Spawn control over all the elements and other aspects of the natural world. Spawn was first endowed with this gift during his battle with "The Heap". He was swallowed by the Earth and introduced to the 3rd party in the war of Heaven and Hell, the Greenworld. It was explained to him that the Greenworld did not care for the war of Heaven and Hell, but were growing increasingly agitated by the destruction brought about. They inflicted on him the pains of the Earth, and when he returned Spawn became "aware" of the world. Spawn did not utilize his powers however, other than listening to the Earth, until he was impaled on a Holy Spear by the dark god Urizen (named after the tyrannical creator-figure in the personal mythology of Romantic poet�artist William Blake). Urizen was wreaking havoc on the world, and the Greenworld imbued him with a "gift" which, after recovering thanks to "Angela", Spawn uses to contain Urizen. Spawn splits the ground open and imprisons Urizen within the Earth.

[edit]
Other Powers
Spawn has an ability to "feel" or "sense" misery. He is aware, even subconsciously when someone is attacked or murdered. Spawn typically travels in the shadows, even "flying" on occasion. He is often described as notoriously difficult to spot, often only caught out of the corner of one's eye as just a streak of red (his cape). Recently, Spawn has taken every other HellSpawn into himself and with the help of a young, Spawn (Christopher), he is able to summon them for aid.
