Everything Gets Answered
Finally, everything gets answered. Spawn's job is to get more recruits for Malbolgia by using his powers to kill criminals. Violator gets demoted for all the crap he did earlier (anyone else think he sounds like Gilbert Gottfried?), and now Spawn has absolutely nothing to do and just wanders the streets.
That's a real problem: Spawn can't use his powers, because it'll bring him closer to losing his soul, as well as adding evil people to Hell's army. But wait...can't he just be a NORMAL vigilante!? Like Batman! He doesn't have to kill people to be a hero! Sure, he'll lose his soul in the end if he uses his power, but if he's any kind of REAL hero, he'd gladly sacrifice his soul to do the most he can for the common good. (But then again, he got sent to Hell when he died.)
Malbolgia's very sure that Spawn will do his job anyway, because he knows that Spawn won't sit around while crooks harm the innocent. So if he's a good person at heart, how'd he qualify for Hell? I smell some major flaws with the entire concept.
Spawn can easily be a hero by using his powers to fight crime without killing, preventing Malbolgia from getting his army and saving innocents, then when his powers run out and he loses his soul, he'd be a true hero who sacrificed himself for the common good of everybody without crossing lines into murder. Heck, maybe there's a chance he'd qualify for Heaven for doing that!
Wait, I just realized. He DOES have to kill! It's the 90's! "Grim and gritty" bullcrap is the standard! I love the 90's, but I don't like 90's comics.
