"Don't you understand? You must be even more ignorant of your Hellspawn abilities than we've determined."

- The Redeemer

The Redeemer is a character who is introduced in Spawn Issue #16, and is a recurring adversary to Spawn.

History
The Redeemer is Heaven's answer to the Hellspawn. From time to time, the Ethereal Masters seek the assistance of the Star Hive: a heavenly, magical space station to create durable, loyal soldiers for the forces of God. This organization chooses mortals it feels are worthy and transforms them into angelic warriors on par with Hell's minions, specifically the minions of Malebolgia. Much like their demonic counterparts, the Redeemers carry the same limitless rage inside their souls, however the core of their anger is that of light rather than darkness.

The first was Jason Wynn, who was chosen by the angels and physically transformed into Anti-Spawn for a brief time. The second Redeemer was originally a man named Phil Timper, introduced in issue #31. He was abducted by the beings of Angel Station and infused with the powers of Elemental Fire. In essence, he is the reincarnation of Anti-Spawn. Later on, Eddie Frank became the New Redeemer. Eddie Frank would prove much stronger than the two previous Redeemers, and actually has a different look. Later in Spawn #300 Eddie Frank would become the reapear and the redeemer is now seperated into a different body becoming an ally of Spawn and a member of Scroched.
