John Constantine, the Hellblazer, is a working-class magician, occult detective and a golden-tongued con man. He is well-known for his scathing wit, endless cynicism, ruthless cunning and constant chain smoking. A roguish counterculture anti-hero, Constantine is also a strident humanist driven by a heartfelt desire to defend mankind from the forces of evil.
@billy_batson: @pretur22: Thank u for the answers I will check them out but I am still looking for a origins story
Also billy batson did they finish the story in the titans story when the new captain marvel Freddie is fighting black Adam jr and jr turns shazam back into freedie but Freddie can't transform back
I can't find the rest of the story there is also the shazam one shot was that ever continued.
The thing is, he doesn't really have an origin story a la "Year One". When he first appeared, he was just a side character in Moore's Swamp Thing run. There have been issues telling about his birth, childhood and teenage years but not story of him getting powers and becoming a "hero" because it was a long process.

I always seen Newcastle as the closest thing John has to an origin
I thought about it earlier. In a way, it is. It's a major even of his life and the first meeting with Nergal but on the other hand you could call John's dad trying to abort him with a coat hanger an origin as well since it started John's sh¡tty life :P

Haha true, John doesn't really have that "bit by a radioactive spider" moment
Theres no legitimate backstory, but heres a brief version, he killed his twin in the womb, his birth caused his mother to die, causing his father to reville him and hate him, after that john and his father had an abusive relationship....john had a long leniege of occults/ magicians, so he joined occult groups and started doing his stuff....he eventually moved to london, kept moving between london and liverpool, doing his usual.....................................................tah dah, that a really brief version that should get your concerns out of the way
