Spoiler warning for potential future content of the following ideas.

Synopsis
Spawn, the Necroplasmic Marauder, returns to embark on a crusade against the forces of evil dwelling in the midst of humanity.

Themes

 * Change.
 * Change, for better or worse, doesn't just come from the deed of one person, but also the actions of others.
 * Change begins from small things, which will blossom into greater things.
 * People can change their characters, but it requires their own will to accomplish.
 * While others may impose change upon others, the results will never be as exceptional as when one willingly changes for the objective.
 * Decisions.
 * Everyone is going to have to take hard decisions eventually, and none of them are likely to please every party. Therefore, one should be wise in making their decisions and be assertive in doing so.
 * Indecision is detrimental towards a person's life in the long run, so it's best to decide when there is still time.
 * Although it is true that making decisions is important, sometimes, it doesn't always mean that one gets to decide for other people.
 * Pain.
 * Pain is never a convenient thing to experience, but going through it is a regular part of everyone's lives. Because pain serves to strengthen the character of the person, one should try and learn from the experience to come up a better person and live life more wisely.
 * Responsibility.
 * Just because someone has great power and great responsibility doesn't mean they can be expected to bear and solve all of the world's problems at once.
 * Doing the right thing always has numerous obstacles.
 * One way or another, every person has responsibilities to deal with. Failing to do such a thing will result in catastrophes of varying magnitudes in the future.

Scratch/Broad Ideas

 * The titular Spawn of the series is not Al Simmons, but a man by the name of Arkady Vasiliev, who is this universe's version of the protagonist from Garth Ennis' limited series, 303. In this story, Al Simmons has been the King of Hell, the Omega Spawn, for a decade after he had defeated Malebolgia, the dimension's previous ruler. As Omega Spawn, however, Al Simmons found himself unable to directly intervene on the matters of Earth like he could as Spawn. Eventually, Simmons chose Arkady as his successor, sending him to Earth as the new Spawn to continue the battle against the evils of the world. Arkady went on with the task by not only destroying supervillains and supernaturals alike, but also corrupt politicians and alike, regardless of origin.
