    I think The Darkness could possibly beat him. I don't really read many Image comics though.

    maybe the Angelus can take him. But I know for a fact Urizen can kill him. He is a dark god who controls and consumes souls. He has his own religion/cult and he cant be killed. Even though his powers are still unknown, one thing is for sure that god and satan had to work together to banish him. It has been made clear that gods of many different religions, worlds and times exist in spawns reality.

    I don't really if ANYONE from from Image could Beat him, They've said before that Spawn could Beat God and Satan and Maelboja and pretty much everybody they've thrown in Spawn's way. He has complete control over the Earth itself and Tons of other powers. So, If this is only for people from Image.......I think Darkness could beat him. But if we could bring in characters from other comapnies then Ghost Rider or Darkseid could beat him.

    but it doesn’t take away the fact that image owns and has legal rights over top cow productions. Its only run by a different studio of images company.

    The Darkness....yes as long as there is no light

    The Angelus.... yes as long as the wielder is right and there is light

    The Witchblade... yes as long as the wielder is right.

    Combine all the three characters against Spawn...we know who gets IT.

    Why them? their powers are god-like and divine as well granting the limitations though except for the Witchblade that can prove itself to be an enemy to reckon with since it actually thinks on its own. So its actually the mind of two being (the wielder and the witchblade) that Spawn needs to deal with.

    I am curious though because it was said the Witchblade, the Darkness, and the Angelus is only three of the thirteen weapons or powers within the Top Cow universe so as to the other 10 against the Spawn... i dunno.

    Well you forget that Spawn is only the host of his suit which he works symbiotically with. He has full control of his suit, but when he's about to die his suit gains control. Spawn for a long time had the souls of the legion which were thousands of hellspawn in his body, even though he freed them he still has their knowledge and power which means he has full control over the powers he knows about. However according to Cogliostro, Spawn has trillions of powers and abilities that he can tap into, but all the powers he has now are enough to win these fights. Also when spawn becomes angry he can summon more power from his suit because he enters a blood lust state and his symbiote encourages it because it wants to consume more souls. Like you said the limitations are only of the host and unlike the people you labelled, Spawn and his entire family for generations have been genetically linked and purposely bred to have the perfect genes to make the perfect spawn to lead all of hells army.

    Al Simmons has the training he has had all his life to kill, there was a story arc that shows how spawns whole life was set up so he will choose to kill and how his going into the army, then the special forces and to work has a hitman of the government was all set up by his mother and one of the original fallen angels called mammon. Hell and heaven both wanted Al Simmons to lead there army, but hell got to him first. Also you should know that heavenly beings do not hurt spawn as much as they do other demons because spawn is too strong. Spawn was even able to touch and use a heavenly weapon which should have killed him as touching a weapon of heaven kills all hellspawn. Al Simmons is more than a wannabe demon. He’s the perfect killing machine who has powers characteristic of both angels and hellspawn.

    The darkness will lose as this spawn also has the ability to create and destroy but unlike the darkness this is not spawns only ability so unlike the darkness spawn doesn’t need to rely on it so much. If you read his comics you will see that spawns magic can easily create a bright light which will disable the darkness. Spawn has teleported his enemies to hell in the past which he can do with the angelus and obviously that will instantly weaken her and allow spawn to kill her. As for the witchblade I'm not as sure about because depending on how powerful the host is the blade maybe unstoppable, but with that said, spawns symbiotic suit is the most powerful of its kind and even though the blade has shown it’s stronger than weaker hellspawn, it has never come up against this symbiote.

    Oh and before I forget, spawn has full authority over every hellspawn and he can summon them at will, so the darkness and the angelus don’t have an advantage when it comes to numbers. Spawn is not as much of a push over as you seem to think.

    Stay blessed,

    Peace

    It would be interesting to see Spawn versus Silver Surfer. I like Spawn more, but I don't know who would win. Spawn would obliterate Superman though.

    EDIT: I misread the topic. Excuse me.

    I'd say Shadowhawk (Paul Johnstone if he had not already died) but we all know Spawn could take him. Although I would also like to see Spawn take on the entire Walking Dead. That fight might be interesting.

    Right but Top Cow and the Spawn universe, even if owned by the same company are two distinct self-contained universes (even if because they are owned by the same comic, they crossover often)
     
    Of my head, at the height of his power, nothing in the universe could defeat Spawn (here I'm referencing the godslayer arcs, ect). At normal levels, that is the first arcs and the new Spawn (who is a different person). A lot of characters could beat him. If he fought against Top Cow Characters. I think Angelus, the Darkness and the two elemental artifacts (the glacier stone and the amber stone) are more powerful.

    I've been out of touch with Spawn for a while now, but didn't Angela have multiple Spawn-slayings under her belt before Simmons got the job?
