So how did this all come about well it was a culmination of thought processes. Firstly years ago i was rewatching the Spawn movie (It was as poorly executed as i remember) and i remember thinking how similar his suit was to Spidey's (i obviously know more about that situation now). I remember liking how Al was a tortured character trying to redeem his soul. Hindsight let him know how much of a bitch he was. He also dedicated himself to becoming a better being.
Not long after i remember seeing a lot of things and one of them was Spider-Gwen. i remember thinking it would be better if i could apply that level of torment to her. That was years ago. The ideas of what to do have been swimming in my head for years off and on. With Spawn coming to MK and getting a movie with Jamie Fox (a Spider-Man movie actor no less) as the star i thought enough. It's finally time to actually do something with this idea. I hope others take to this idea. i can see Gwen as a Ghost Rider. Marvel even went and did half the fucking work for me already when they renamed Spider-Gwen to Ghost Spider. Also regardless of what you may think that is an improvement in name.
So what is this story? While it is not 100% Gwen bashing that is in here. I mean she cheated on her fucking destined one (that's thanks to the house of m timeline people) with a man indirectly responsible for killing her dad an event she blamed on Spidey/Peter. She also, as revealed by Marvel itself, died hating him. She saw past his mask there at the end. She also gave up her virginity to one of her friend's dad and to make matters worse turned around and tried to get Peter to take responsibility for his kids. Despite the fact that she never had sex with him.
Peter loved this woman (not to be confused with in love with this woman since she obviously didn't love him back) and he never even got to hit it. Instead her murderer did. Norman Osborn also fucked one of his own son's friends. Now think about that age gap a tad. This story is all done as a redemption arc for her. I think Spawn's pain is perfectly applicable to Gwen. Plus the idea is just too freaking cool to pass up.
Let me know what you think of it. Gwen will be getting helpers in her quest as the story goes on. Some will be Angels, Reapers, Demons, Vampires, and Hookers to name a few. Yes i did just write down hookers.
Most of those will be Oc I'll go over the major players now as well as if they're oc or not.
Firstly we have Stereo the Reaper. She may or may not have been a dj in life. Now she assists the Hellspawn Gwen whenever she's not doing her day job as a Reaper. Although there may be more to her than what appears.(oc)
Secondly we have Seras the Angel. Seras is part of the Archangel Michael's Guard detail for Peter Parker. Why is the Archangel Michael himself personally guarding Peter Parker will be revealed in story. Seras is framed for crimes she didn't commit and Gwen is dragged into helping defend her.(oc)
Third Mephista the daughter of Mephisto. She's been assigned by her father to personally watch over Gwen to make sure everything goes according to his plans. But does she have her own agenda at play?
Melissa of the Shroud clan of vampires is one of the few creatures of the night that can actually see angels. A class of enlightened vampires that have attained an immunity to the weaknesses of their kin. Melissa has often been tasked with the elimination of male Hellspawns. Often achieving success through seduction. How will she fair when the current Hellspawn is female and has eyes for only one.(oc)
Crimson Kurai an immortal Japanese warrior woman. She's killed more Hellspawns, Riders, Dark gods and Demons than anyone else alive. (including Dr. Strange) However lately all she's been looking for is a challenge and a glorious death. Though she's hired by heaven to kill Gwen she finds herself wanting to help her achieve her goals.(oc)
Viranda is a hooker under the employ of the mutant criminal Tombstone. She's a good kid that's had a truly fucked up life. Days ago her life was saved by the new Hellspawn so she decided to repay her in any way she can. Though their relationship is anything but simple.(oc)
Additonal heads-up Gwen before becoming a Hellspawn will seem like a totally different character from after. The reason for this is because hindsight has twenty/twenty vision. Major non Gwen orbit Main characters are Peter Parker, Mary-Jane Watson, Cindy Moon, and Felicia Hardy. The main villain is both Mephisto as the background villain and OZ THE GREEN GOBLIN! That's right I'm finally doing a story with Norman as the final boss so to speak and it's in a story where Peter is not the main character. What the hell could a story with the above ingredients possibly be about. Read and find out.
Final notes no she does not look like Spawn. Its more original than his look. She is a Hellspawn yes but she is not from that universe nor was she created by the same entity that turned Al Simmons into Spawn. So please get that cape idea out of your head. Additionally this is not a crossover with Spawn yet. But if enough of you make a suggestion i can make that happen. It wouldn't stop the main plot of the story any. Last note Gwen will never get as powerful as Spawn actually is. That's just too op.
