If you don't know much about Spawn other than that he's a comic book superhero, you might naturally ask, "What powers does he have?"
The thing is, if you really want a succinct answer, you might be better off asking, "What powers doesn't he have?"
Spawn has displayed an impressive array of super powers. He's got the enhanced strength and durability you might come to expect as prerequisite for just about any superhero. As early as his first full-pitched battle with Violator in Spawn #4 he was blasting various yellow and green glowy stuff out of his hands, he was reanimating his limbs, and he was surviving the destruction of his internal organs. Later stories had the Hellspawn teleporting through shadows, healing others' wounds, resurrecting the dead, stopping time, breathing fire, drawing power from worms, flying, and plenty of other wild power displays.
It's enough to make you wonder exactly how there could be anything out there that could threaten Spawn enough to keep readers' interest. But with the comic book Spawn going strong after 25 years and another live-action film about to be made, it doesn't seem his Swiss Army knife collection of powers has hurt his appeal.
