A new sort of Deadzone that cancels the powers of both Heaven and Hell. The Anomaly was the location of Al Simmons's suicide, and it was discovered by a few interested parties. The Violator quickly made sure, however, to kill anyone but him with direct knowledge of the Anomaly.

Later, after learning of the Anomaly, Jim Downing lured the Symbiote there for a final confrontation. From within the Anomaly, Downing reached out to make contact with the Symbiote.

As the Symbiote bit off his arm, the forces of light came from within the ground and devoured the costume. Then, the forces of darkness came as well, and devoured Downing. Shortly after, in a green flash Al Simmons was reborn on Earth as Spawn once again.

Beth and Archie Weller are a middle aged couple afraid of what New York has become. They used to go out and enjoy the city, until 6 years ago when they were mugged.

They enjoyed their evening until they tried to return home and discovered everyone on their subway train had been slaughtered by The Kingdom.

A secret museum holding artifacts and knowledge of the hellspawn from the beginning of time. It is housed in a former church in New York City that is owned by a secret, private trust.

Cog has access and spends much of his time there. When he finally relents and agrees to give Spawn some answers about himself, he takes him to the archives to educate him about the hellspawn that have come before. Included in its relics are the skulls of former hellspawn, the headdress of Immaculata, and many other items related to the curse of the spawn.

During the fracture of Hell when Spawn arrived and was forced to fight the Violator for the throne, he realized that, as king, Hell was an extension of him. He unleashed the Army of Hellspawn to battle the Phlebiac for him. Countless Hellspawn were released from their chains and were ordered into battle together.

Much later, during Armageddon, the army was fighting as one on Earth and met Spawn again - this time as a foe. They declared him a traitor and attacked, but Al unleashed his new god-like powers on them. The army was swallowed by the Earth and returned to Hell from whence it came.
