But i am not a fan of the repressed memory thing, especially when brothers and wife abuse is revealed, to me its a cheat, i was a avid reader for a long time and i just lost interest,this does not make me want to go out and start buying it again....i guess you had to be with it for the long haul and maybe its my fault for not sticking with it

Well, I think it's the easiest way to retcon the Spawn story from the original intention to this one. Originally, Malebolgia was the top devil...no evil beyond him...and God was represented as an old lady.

Once they introduced Mammon and Urizen, the story pretty much changed. God and Satan were equally evil, equally powerful, and equally absent *

The repressed memories pretty much show how Mammon was involved in Spawn's life from before the beginning..how he manipulated pretty much everything, even before Spawn's existance.

The last retcon they had was when they changed Al Simmon's killer from Chapel to Jessica Priest (due to copyright infringment reasons).

This time the retcon isn't so obvious...it's done smarter.

Thanks man 🙂

Oh yeah, just so you get an idea of how much Mammon has manipulated:

1) Mammon planted the idea in Malebolgia's head to release Urizen. This way, when Urizen was imprisoned again, the Eighth Circle of Hell would abandon Malebolgia leaving him vulnerable for Spawn to kill him.

2) Mammon lead Spawn to the Tiend, where he confronted the Forgotten. Mammon knew it was in Spawn's nature to save a little girl from such a cruel sacrifice. Spawn's involvement and victory over the Tiend broke the Forgotten's dependency on Earth, leading them to attack Heaven*

3) Mammon seduced Al Simmon's mother and had her marry Al Simmon's father, so she can have 3 kids. Two of the brothers grew up. Richard became a Priest, while Marc became a Detective. Al obviously became an assassin and u know the rest. Al Simmons was meant to be killed and sent to Hell to be recruited as a Hell Spawn.

4) Mammon caused a witch named Thea to kill herself (due to her tormenting gift of being able to see people's deaths before it happens), which lead Nyx to go on a crusade to rescue her freind's soul from Hell. Nyx kidnapped Al Simmons and linked him back with the hellspawn symbiote- keeping a thread of it for herself* literally a piece of Spawn was in her possession.

This allowed her to become a temporary "She-Spawn" so she can enter Hell and try to save Thea. Realizing that it was too late for Thea, she killed Thea in Hell, ending her total existence.

Nyx made a deal to enter Hell safely with a minor demon lord. The deal was she could only bring back one soul with her. The price was her "piece of Spawn". Nyx met the Redeemer who was trapped in Hell from chasing Spawn down there previously. She decided to bring back the Redeemer for his agreement to protect her in Hell.

Once they both came back to Earth, Redeemer hunted Spawn and weakened him in a fierce battle. Spawn then slew Redeemer by cutting off his wings. Nyx had to keep her bargain and give the minor demon lord her power. Unfortunately, the demon lord was really Mammon is disguise....Nyx no longer had the powers of a witch, and Mammon did.

With this power, he humiliated Spawn by controlling his symbiote...then he erased ALL OF SPAWN's memories...to leave him broken.

5) Now we know, Mammon gave the two vampire lords Lucian and Daciana the "child". This child is Morana, a creature who devours life non stop. A creature who is immortal and has a never ending cruel hunger.

What Morana's involvement in Mammon's plan is remains to be seen.
