Season 3

Within every Hellspawn, a battle rages for the last fragments of humanity and the master they vow to serve. A gaunt man crawls among the bugs in a cell, muttering don't let the demons take you. In the alley, Spawn's tormented mind wages a war of its own. Cogliostro, who was once a Hellspawn himself, is aware of the struggle and tells Spawn that he must choose which master he serves. For as long as Spawn leads a life of violence, he serves Malebolgia. Four street punks—Petey, Bobbie, Frankie, and their college-going friend Joey—head out for a night on the town, but the moment marks their passage toward manhood, a transition paid in blood. After a hit, Joey panics and says he'll go to the cops; he must be killed as well, a test: kill the potential squealer, become a man. Spawn and Cogliostro attempt to intercede. Spawn wants the punks gone.
