The Comic:

  • "BOYS SCREAMED AND GIRLS SCREAMED. SO I MADE HIM SCREAM AND SCREAM AND SCREAM..." A gruesome end for a truly sick child killer.
  • And then of course there's Al Simmons returning after shooting himself in the head and presumably dying for good. Don't lie. You cheered, too.
  • The storyline in the mid-60's of the series, where Spawn retaliates to Clown's kidnapping Cyan by tracking him down and basically ripping him to pieces; the Clown doesn't get a chance to turn into the Violator, and ends up with his head impaled on a pole in the alley. Spawn then proceeds to assault Jason Wynn's tower, disguising himself as a guard and infiltrating the man's own bedroom to show him just how 'untouchable' he really is.
  • Issue 100, in which Spawn finally hacks off Malebolgia's head and takes his throne as the king of that circle of hell.
  • Issue 120 builds on that when Spawn uses Malebolgia's power for the first time, summoning a legion of other hellspawn and transforming himself into a giant to beat the Violator into submission.
  • In Issue 168, Wynn orders a couple of his men to kill a drunk man he met in a bar, all while gloating to them that they can't kill him, because of his "insurance," which would bring about the collapse of civilization. Then his men's skulls burn with green fire from the inside out. In comes Spawn, breathing said green fire. The following issue reveals that Spawn destroyed his insurance and left him to die. It's especially awesome since Spawn had made it clear a few pages prior that he has no interest in protecting the world anymore.
  • Jim Downing, the second Spawn, doing the one thing Al never could; as of this writing, killing Jason Wynn for good. Then going on as an angel to save all of New York from K7-Leetha's rampage.
  • The entirety of Spawn Armageddon, which was a return to form for Al Simmons. Highlights include saving his father from hell's forces, taking on various new demons with his God-forged sword, and best of all, nuking hell. The explosion hit so hard Satan hasn't been seen since.
