* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The franchise is pretty big in Japan. There was a manga adaptation, Spawn was the first GuestFighter from a Western franchise to appear in ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur]]'', ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' artist Kazuma Kaneko [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Spawn/comments/ol6qxv/spawn_homage_in_shin_megami_tensei/ based his design for Zaou-Gongen on the character]], and an early story arc of the ''Manga/YuGiOh'' manga was one big homage to the character.

* JerkassWoobie: Al Simmons, the main character himself. He ended up this way because he died, was sent to Hell for murdering innocents and being an abusive husband and got his powers from making a deal with a demon. In other media, people have been labelled asshole victims for less and the comic does everything in it's power to remind you that Al [[SelfInflictedHell brought his situation on himself]]… but you'll feel for him anyways, if only because [[TheAtoner he's so desperately trying to make it right]].

* FanonDiscontinuity: Even before ''[[AuthorsSavingThrow Resurrection]]'' made it all straight up CanonDiscontinuity, it wasn't uncommon for readers to say everything after [[spoiler:Spawn killed Malebolgia]] didn't happen and just pretend the series ended there. Thought it got VindicatedByHisotry in current times.

* MainstreamObscurity: Despite being one of the most iconic characters of the 1990s, actual familiarity with anything about Spawn besides his character design and the grim-and-gritty tone of his stories is very low. Even comic book fans tend to blank on any specifics. This extends to his RoguesGallery; most people might recognize Clown/Violator as being his ArchEnemy (and maybe Jason Wynn and Malebogia thanks to the 1997 movie) but any other foe would probably just draw a blank with people.
