When comic book heroes are being molded to their Dark side


With it being so close to Halloween and you all knowing of my love of comic books, I thought I'd talk about superheroes and the Darkness within them to a certain degree of their own Monster hoodness. I will try to keep out current comic continuity if I can, to reach this point. Let say we start this with a guy named SPAWN is a dead man whom makes a deal with the devil that he will lead the Devil's minions on earth for the one and only thing he wants more than life itself. That being is to see his beloved wife again. So the pact is made, and when Spawn does return he finds out that he is brunt so badly he doesn't dare see Wanda his Beloved wife and every time he uses his hell powers he comes so much closer to a second death. So the devil wins always against him for when Al Simmons, this is who Spawn was in life, tries do good by killing those who are bad in life he just gives more of himself to his greatest foe. Ok I lied I will use the characters I'm using back history of comic origin so sue me. If you were to meet someone like Spawn that has powers that are dark like he is would you run from them even if all he wants to do is help you in a dark alley. Remember this above all else, he'd still be learning about himself as he stands up for your rights.
Now let's see ab
out the inner demons of a fellow known as
BATMAN, as a young boy his name is Bruce Wayne saw his own parents murder right in front of him. His parents were rich and he use that wealth to train himself in martial arts and learns how to solve mysteries as a great sleuth can. He almost never wants help from anyone but still gets it anyway from a side kick known as Robin & also from a man called James Gordon the police chief of Gotham city. What is truly sad about BATMAN is he uses his true face of Wayne as a mask to come at you as a friend. Would you want so much to meet Batman in a dark alley as well as SPAWN. Since we are talking about superheroes whom seem to have darkness in them and since I have used two characters that I know pretty well from Detective Comics & Image Comics, and lets go for broke here with the owner of the Green skinned Frankenstein like character of Marvel Comics I'm of course meaning the INCREDIBLE HULK. Here is his origin in a nutshell his human self called Bruce Banner has made a new militarily device for the propose of war with his knowledge of science of Gamma radiation and adding it to a bomb. Hence a Gamma bomb, while testing this for the first time Banner see a teenager out on the test site he tells his Russian assistant to stop the countdown of the test, while he being brave confronts the young teen on the test area. Of course the Russian assistant let the test processed with the hope of Bruce Banner and the teenager dying, but instead what happens is Banner saves the teen by throwing him into a bunker yet he himself is bathed in the release of the gamma radiation and survives. It isn't until nightfall that Banner realizes what the effects of the radiation has done to him, by him becoming some sort of nightmarish creature. Banner has always been trying to get rid of his inner demon with help from others, but the creature known as the HULK wants to live just as much as Bruce wants him gone so it is always a constant struggle between them either way you see it. So now would you want to run into that very same alley where SPAWN & BATMAN are with the HULK there as well, I'd think not?
What my point is, that comic book charac
ters weather they have powers or not most certainly are like us?, how is that you say right, well like you and I they too, have conflict and strife in their everyday lives. It is what really makes us love them for sometimes we just want to be those heroes to get through our own days in what we call life's journey. Here the death pieces for you to rattle over if you don't mind.... ,,

or even if you do mind more scares I won't mind at all.
