By dividing line , Clown aka “ Violator ” has been power - hungry since Todd McFarlane’sSpawn#2 . Unlike Spawn and Cogliostro , Clown is a blaze - born demon rather than a Hellspawn and is convince he ’ll be the next king because of this . Given his condition as a long - full term , power - hungry “ big bad ” throughout the franchise , it goes without state that Violator ruling Hell would do good only him . Everything he does is for his own welfare . Not only that , butClown has already done what no rule of Hell has succeeded in by managing to defeat Heaven .

However , Spawn is n’t the first person Sinn has betrayed . After all , he was the first murderer , Cain , with his victim being his brother . From the moment Sinn was turned into a Hellspawn by Malebolgia , he has thirsted for the can . When he has unofficially seized business leader in the past , his immediate goal has been to obtrude upon Heaven . With Heaven already brought to its knee by Clown , conquering Earth would in all probability be his next goal .
The First Battle For Hell: Cogliostro vs. Clown

Moreover , even when Spawn attacks Cogliostro with a weapon made specifically to wipe out him by Heaven ’s celestial smithy , Sinn refuses to die . To croak would be to give up , and that has never been an selection for him . Before either can drop off , the battle ends for them .
Today , Todd McFarlane ’s Spawn is a major franchise , but it was n’t always that way . Here are the ' XC stories that cemented Spawn ’s last popularity !
A New Ruler Of Hell Is Crowned
A burst of green sparkle signals the fight is over as a new rule emerges . With Clown hit and Spawn and Cogliostro still press , confusion ensues on both English . No one interpret who could have take the toilet without anyone roll in the hay . Those still crusade , such as Redeemer , immediately give up . After all , nothing more can be done . There is no deny the intense world power of the throne , and thus , no understanding to bother trying to change what has happened . There is nothing anyone can do but wait .
Even Sinn , who refusee death itself when staring it in the face moment ago , knows there is nothing impart he can do . He is bit away from drum Spawn , but the combat ends as presently as he image the commode is claimed . Although Cogliostro , Spawn , and Clown have all failed to claim the throne for themselves , one of the three still believes they have won . This is because one of the contenders for the throne has been hoping this would happen the entire time .
Spawn’s Ultimate Plan Is Revealed
Everyone believe he is going to in the end rule Hell , but Spawn sit on the throne has never and will never be an option .
Spawn has never intended to arrogate the commode for himself . In fact , five moment before Cogliostro make it , he has the chance to arrogate the pot but turn down to . Spawn ’s real design is kept a secret from everyone , including his allies , until he absolutely has to differentiate someone . Additionally , he waits to recite anyone until the last possible moment . Everyone believe he is go to in conclusion rein Hell , but Spawn sitting on the throne has never and will never be an pick .
Even those who know Spawn is their last hope fear what the corruption of Hell ’s pot will do to him . His ex - married woman , Wanda , who is allowing herself to be tortured for Spawn to become the King of Hell , begged him to find someone else to rule Hell . Not because she does n’t trust Spawn , but because she knows how all - consuming the corruptness of the potty can be . Spawn also does n’t swear himself , which is why he does n’t claim the stool after killing Malebolgia .
Spawn ’s plan relies on finding someone who can take the commode without being corrupted by it . This would be a near - impossible chore . In monastic order to claim the throne , one has to either be born of Hell or refer by it and turn into a Hellspawn . satanic beings are corruptible by their very nature , even those like Spawn who fight to overcome it . However , he knows one person who want nothing to do with the potty , and whom he believe can hold out its influence : his longtime ally Nyx . Spawn just has to win over Nyx to do the one thing she desperately wants to avoid .
The Queen Of Hell Takes Her Throne
Despite her reluctance , Nyx does take the throne and in turn becomes the Queen of Hell . Her original architectural plan is to stop Spawn , Cogliostro , and Clown all from submit the throne using any means necessary . Nyx knows none of them can hold out the corruption of the throne . She herself is a Wiccan and , technically , neither Hellspawn nor Hell - carry . However , she was once a Hellspawn due to havingSpawn ’s own symbioteat one time . This make up her touch by Hell and thus able to rule it . The fact that Nyx is not demonic means she may be able to withstand the influence of the commode .
A monumental event in the record - breaking Spawn # 301 had branch in both the past and present , setting up the outgoing Rat City whirl - off .
Spawn Must Atone For His Sins
Nyx is now far more hefty than ever before , with the crapper of Hell empowering her .
Spawn is an antihero at his core , but even even heroes are often criticized for the end they cause “ saving the day . ” For his battle for the throne alone , he ’s disregarded the suffering of those he cares about . Spawn may not be aware of the pain he has make , but Nyx is . As one of her first action as Hell ’s queen , she banishes Spawn from Hell . She says it ’s to punish him for his pridefulness and hauteur . For once , Spawn has to ache the consequences of his fault .
At least , she says it ’s a penalization for his actions , yet this may not be the vitrine . When Spawn arrives on Earth from his banishment , he ’s not the only one there . Jessica Priest has also been ostracise to Earth despite this purportedly being a penalisation for Spawn . As Jessica notes , Nyx work on for Greenworld . Now , with Heaven defeated and Nyx on the toilet , there is nothing stopping her from controlling Heaven , Hell , and Greenworld . Punishment is an self-justification to banish Spawn , so he ca n’t stop over her from achieving her own goals .
Not only is Spawn banish , but he , Jessica , and everyone elsefind themselves ineffectual to use their powers . This is also Spawn ’s faulting . While Spawn was in Hell , the Dead Zones have rapidly expanded and now cross all of Earth . As a result , no one has any mogul . Plus , there is nothing stop movement between Heaven , Hell , and Earth with all of Earth being a Dead Zone . All in all , it ’s a formula for disaster for Spawn and his allies .
In future comics , the inhabitants of Greenworld and Nyx are set to be the next major antagonists . Moreover , Nyx is now far more hefty than ever before , with the Throne of Hell empowering her . She does n’t have to worry about Hell corrupting her because she is already tainted . However , this does open up up opportunity for Hell and Heaven to work together . After all , both are far too light to resist Nyx on their own . With four more issues ofSpawnalready announced , Spawn will have to reduce the size of the Dead Zone and regain his ability .
