Al Simmons, aka the most well regarded and arguably powerful Hell Spawn of modern/current Earth, was bonded to the symbiotic suit, K-7 Leetha, back in the very first issue. This entity/suit is a living thing that is "bonded to his central nervous system", and thus works literally like an extension of his own body. However, it is later revealed that the suit and its host are still essentially two separate entities with their own distinct energies and powers, working together as one seamlessly under control of the host to function as one entity.
in Spawn # 19 Harry Houdini [yes, that Harry Houdini, apparently] meets up with Spawn and teaches him the fundamentals of magic. Houdini has evolved from being a mere mortal to a being of true magic, and had his own machinations...
...but he did give Al some helpful tutelage, not the least of which is that Spawn's suit has its own energy or life force, apparently. This is significant, because initially, Spawn had a "limited pool of Necroplasmic energy" from which his strongest powers [teleportation, matter manipulation, energy blasts, self healing] could pull from.
The above mentioned powers weren't total examples, however. Also, the distinction between Leetha's powers and Al's power seems... murky, at best. This is further complicated by the fact that some of Al's "overall" powers can be recharged by absorbing "latent evil", basically feeding or drawing form the "evil aura" of others. To my knowledge, its never really stated how this works, though, as in if it "add points" to his diminishing necroplasmic units, or if it "boosts" the effects of the same unit use [essentially turning TNT into C-4], or if it grants him energy the way a human sleeping grants him physical refreshment.
So the questions are:
- What exactly are Spawns PERSONAL Powers, abilities and limitations?
- What are his COSTUME's abilities, powers and limitations?
