Spawn #37

by Alan Moore & Todd McFarlane & Greg Capullo

"The Freak"
Dedicated To: Keith Giffen
They called him Dr. Delirium, an insane scientist with the means to control minds... or else destroy them!

These are the merest fraction of the psyche-shredding mechanisms at Delirium's disposal. This is the cold, oil-perfumed zoo in which he keeps the metal beasts that tear men's heads apart.

I'm sorry to call you down here so abruptly, Mrs. Kulbiczi. Your husband escaped from the institution, AGAIN...

Image Sourcebook: The Jack (II)

Real Name: Julia Ravenworth
Occupation: British Intelligence
Identity: Secret
Legal Status: Citizen of the United Kingdom
Place of Birth: Los Angeles
Marital Status: Single
Known Relatives: Abner Ravenworth (grandfather)
Group Affiliation: None
Base of Operations: England
First Appearance: TROLL II #1 (1994)
History:
Julia Ravenworth is an agent of British Intelligence and a legacy heroine who has taken up her grandfather's mantle as the new Jack. Following his demise, Julia notified Abner's old partner Troll at the Youngblood base in Washington, D.C., and they met for a quiet observance at his grave before beginning to investigate his murder. With the help of Abner's journal, the pair uncovered a months-long plot to replace the world's scientists with synthetic duplicates. Among them was Dr. Joseph McCall, the father of Youngblood team member Badrock, who joined in a pursuit that led to the South American base of Dr. Franz Völger. Believed dead since 1944, the Professor was instead in hiding, assisting other Nazis in exile following Germany's defeat as they collectively pursued a Fourth Reich. To this end, Völger constructed The Übernaught Mark II, a towering robot body into which his consciousness would be placed, with the aid of the kidnapped scientists.

The trio traced Völger to Brazil, where they were set upon by an armed squad of "Cyber Nazis." Although the Jack initially held her own, all but Troll were captured and taken to Völger's base. Soon, Völger's mind rested within the Übernaught, but Troll managed to distract the ten ton automaton and free Badrock. The pair severely shocked and partially dismantled the Übernaught before Völger activated the base's self-destruct mechanism. The Jack, Dr. McCall, Badrock, and Troll all managed to escape, with the Übernaught once again presumed destroyed. Troll congratulated the new Jack on a successful first outing, and felt "Abner's legacy is in good hands!"

Height: Average
Build: Fit
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Brown
Strength level: Presumed normal human strength for her age, height, and build.
Known superhuman powers: None. The Jack appears to possess acrobatic abilities and fair fighting skills, as well as being useful with firearms.
Notes: Julia Ravenworth wears a lightly modified variation on The Jack's anachronistic World War II era uniform, mostly accounting for differences in build and gender. However, the new Jack's mask ends midway down the bridge of the nose and spreads along the cheeks down to the jaw.

Image Sourcebook: The Jack (I)

Real Name: Abner Ravenworth
Occupation: British Commando
Legal Status: Honored citizen of the United Kingdom
Marital Status: Unknown
Known Relatives: Julia Ravenworth (granddaughter)
Group Affiliation: associate of The Allies
Base of Operations: England
First Appearance: TROLL II #1 (1994)
History:
Abner Ravenworth was a "hand trained" operative under Troll who served England during World War II. In 1944, upon his return from Africa, Major Troll was asked by Winston Churchill to undertake an important mission into the heart of Nazi Germany. Despite considering him "rough around the edges," Troll requested the assistance of The Jack, who had previously embarrassed him in front of his "lady friend" Glory and The Allies in Paris. The pair made their way to Berlin, and the secret lab of Dr. Franz Völger, as he prepared to unleash his "ultimate creation." Bursting in through a skylight, Major Troll and The Jack took on Hitler's legions in pursuit of "Herr Professor," although Jack had to be rescued several times by Troll in the attempt. The Professor escaped to a waiting zeppelin with his towering robot "The Ubernaught" in tow. Standing a couple of stories tall, the Ubernaught nonetheless managed to draw close to the heroes from behind while they stood atop the aircraft. After a brief skirmish, the heroes managed to detonate TNT which appeared to take Völger and his automaton in the conflagration, while Troll's new pilot Eddie swooped in to rescue the pair as they plummeted.

References were made to additional pairings in Stalingrad, Casablanca, and Normandy, but inevitably Major Troll and the Jack parted company, despite Jack's being "one of the best friends, an' best partners, a man could ever have." Fifty years later, Troll was at Youngblood headquarters when he was notified by Ravenworth's granddaughter Julia of Abner's murder. After twenty years in retirement, Ravenworth was prompted to reopen the Volger case, after stumbling upon a plot to replace the world's scientists. He had committed the details to his journal, which was used by his granddaughter and Major Troll to avenge his death.

Height: Average
Build: Athletic
Eyes: White (without visible pupil or iris)
Hair: Brown
Strength level: Presumed normal human strength for his age, height, and build.
Known superhuman powers: None. The Jack appears to possess acrobatic abilities and fair fighting skills, as well as being useful with firearms.
Notes: The Jack's facial features were inconsistent. He sometimes appeared with a Caucasian flesh tone mask open only at the pupilless eyes and mouth, mostly obscuring the nose. Other times in the same sequence, he appeared to wear a blue face mask that matched the rest of his costume, ending at the upper lip with an exposed chin. This was presumably a persistent coloring error or last minute design alteration.

by Todd McFarlane & Greg Capullo

"The Homecoming"
Dedicated To: Tom Palmer
Filled with an anxiety he didn't expect, Spawn breaks into a sprint. Adrenalin pumps harder. He needs his alleys. Moreso, he wants them.

Gentlemen, let this serve as a formal introduction. I am Rafael. I am taking over for Gabrielle, who has been removed as Commander of Terran Affairs.

Earlier today in New York City's Bowery, a "mysterious light" was at the center of the unexpected disappearance of one of the area's leading citizens. Phil Timper had worked with the homeless through various charities and shelters for eleven years, and was honored last year...

by Alan Moore & Brian Denham & Jonathan Sibal & Danny Miki

Through here we have video records of the shopping mall incident last year in New York that inspired Project Dante... A group of extra-terrestrial beings, strikingly similar to the medieval concept of demons, appeared from thin air...

Celestine #1-2 (1996)

by Warren Ellis & Patrick Lee & various

Where do angels go when they die?

There is an angel who has killed angels. There was a rebellion in heaven once, and she wore the teeth of the rebels as jewelry. She struck them down, and thought nothing of where she was sending them...

I fought a demon on Earth, and he tricked me. He tore out my heart and threw it on the floor.

It wasn't long ago that Vito forced me to be his guinea pig... The combination of chemicals, microsurgery, who knows what sort of radiation and anti-rejection drugs transformed me.

"The Hunt" Part 2
Dedicated To: Frank Miller
As for Joe Sakic, three days from now, his body will be found under the George Washington Bridge, with his hands and feet viciously severed. Decapitated. Even his genitals will be missing. The police will conduct a full investigation, but in the absence of anything identifiable about the body, will have to close the case of John Doe 1994-714. Such is the life of a trusted employee of Vito Gravano.

One of the bums he knows says our hero usually hangs out in the same four block radius. I've mapped it out already, sir.

God, no. Vito thinks I'M Terry.

Supreme #7-18 (1993-1994)

by Eric Stephenson & Kurt Hathaway & Rob Liefeld & Ripley and Shawn McManus & Brian Murray & Pedi & Cedric Nocon & Dan Fraga & Todd Nauck & Marat Mychaels with Norm Rapmund & various

...Your lack of control over the G.A.T.E. sponsored super-team Heavy Mettle... the public... and I... distrust them... Consider the team disbanded as of this very moment!

I will bring the entire Reich-- indeed the whole of Germany to its knees until Adolph Hitler is brought to me! Know that I mean what I say-- for Thor does not make idle threats!!

Welcome to Eye On Supreme. I'm Maxine Winslow, and tonight we're talking with... the first of his super-powered generation to appear in this century.

Today everyone looks at me with suspicion-- as if they seem to have forgotten how I saved their butts in the Big One... Only to find that I'd been replaced by others--- the Youngbloods. They thought the world had outgrown me. The fools.

I don't want your pity... I just don't want you turning out to be like me or the other guys. We look up to you... the boys and I like like having you around. Makes us feel a bit cocky, if you know what I mean. If you can't pick up the pieces, then you ain't any better that us.

The matter of that little fat Clown, the dismantling of that hired gun Overt-Kill, and the invasion of your office by a costumed vigilante. Calling in The Admonisher to deal with the clown was a brilliant move, sir.

...the costumed invader... he's Terence Fitzgerald, an operative for some ultra-covert agency.

Dedicated To: Stan Lee
OVERT-KILL! In whispered voices, some call him "Overkill." It has to do with his tendency to go beyond the necessary means.

Gino told me that Overt-Kill thinks it's a Youngblood he's after. He had a run-in with them a few years back, and hasn't forgotten how they embarrassed him.

I'm not some drunk hobo that you can steamroll! Or are you afraid of someone who can fight back?!

A CYBORG! I fought them years ago, before I was killed. But they weren't nearly as advanced. Nor as deadly.

I... witnessed my own death. The death of Major Adrianna Tereshkova.

Heavy collateral damage... Best guess? Two rogue C.A.T.s duked it out in the middle of D.C.

You were once Lord Emp-- one of the four Lords of Power-- the champion of mankind.

Spawn #1 by Todd McFarlane

"Questions," Part 1
Dedicated To: Jack Kirby
I want to die... again.

1987: Services were held today for Lt. Colonel Al Simmons at Arlington Cemetery in Virginia.

1992: I remember there was someone... to love. Someone to hate. And I was something. Something special.

Youngblood Megaton Explosion (1987-1993) by Rob Liefeld

The government has a department for almost everything. In 1984, our heads of state decided that they needed a powerful public force; a force that could represent the government to the people.
