A cynical and angry homeless man living in the alleys near Spawn. During a conversation on religion amongst the Rat City homeless, Johnny took the stance that religion is for the weak and stupid. He argued with the others until he got fed up and wandered off, but not before breaking Bobby's last treasure from his past - the small crystal deer given to him by his daughter.

Angry with the pain caused to his friend, Spawn followed Johnny and discovered that he intended to commit a robbery with some friends and pin it on one of their own. Spawn confronted Johnny but was shot repeatedly while in the dead zone. Unaware that it existed, Spawn was helpless to fight back. With the help of his friends, Leekley then crucified Spawn to a wall and stole a bag full of his necroplasm (to take back to their leader as proof).

When Johnny returned to his leader (the Freak) with the bag, the Freak stabbed him in the eye and was furious that Spawn was attacked without his orders. Leekley was left to bleed to death while the others prepared for the impending turf war.

A man who worked for Antonio Twistelli in some capacity before being murdered for supposedly stealing from him.

Twistelli sent Chris "Orca" Pronger to kill Johnny as an example to his cohorts. He was killed with a shot to the head in front of his house, his wife and daughter were the first to find him - just as Twistelli wanted.

Jon lives with his parents and grandmother in the rural wilderness of Northeast Minnesota. When Spawn's aimless wanderings led him near their home, Jon found him out in the snow and brought him home.

The family showed Spawn hospitality but disappeared in the night. Left alone, Spawn discovered that the family has been alive and unchanged at least since 1840 when a family photo was taken.

Outside, Spawn found a group of hunters being attacked by abnormally large wolves. He intervened and saved the lives of the hunters, and took the eye of one of the wolves before leaving again to wander.

Little did he know that the kind family were werewolves and that it was Grandmother Wolf's eye that was lost.

A being assigned by Heaven as the Grand Magistrate of Purgatory. For ages, Custer watched over the labyrinth as souls were given a second chance at redemption.

As time went on, souls became more clearly defined as good or evil, and thus the population of Purgatory dwindled. When orders came from Heaven to close Purgatory, Custer resisted.

After a failed attempt to find new undefined souls, however, Custer returned to Heaven and the gates of Purgatory were closed forever.

The leader of the powerful Udaku Crime Family that has controlled South Africa for over 600 years. His daughter Cecelia took it upon herself to try to take control of all organized crime in New York but failed and was subsequently killed by Twitch.

Later, Josef hatched an elaborate plan to exact revenge on Twitch which resulted in the death of Twitch's son Max.

Zachary Missen was a district judge, as well as a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Missen and his fellow Klansmen tried to scare a man named Brad Armstrong off his land, but when Spawn came through town he intervened.

Spawn obtained files that could help the Armstrongs fight the Klan in court, and he used his powers to make Judge Missen black. Missen was then hung by his own friends.
