History
In Spawn #5, Billy Kincaid was released from a mental institution. He had been placed there because of a number of missing child cases he had been suspected of. The most notable of the cases, and the only one Kincaid was actually charged with, was the disspearance and murder of a senator's daughter. In his previous life as Al Simmons, Spawn had been hired to kill Kincaid, but had arrived just as Kincaid was apprehended by the police and so was unable to complete the mission.
Upon his realease from incarceration due to good behavior, Kincaid immediately went back to kidnapping and murdering children by luring them into his ice cream truck. After capturing and dismembering his second victim since being released, Spawn finished the assassination he was unable to complete in his past life, killing Kincaid and hanging his bloody corpse in the precinct office of detectives Sam Burke and Twitch Williams, who had been investigating Kincaid. Both Sam and Twitch eventually lost their jobs over the gruesome incident.
Upon dying, Kincaid wakes up in Hell. He is greeted by the Vindicator, brother of Spawn regular the Violator. The Vindicator leads Kincaid to the Eighth circle of Hell, the same level where Al Simmons made a deal with Malebolgia to become a Hellspawn. Kincaid is fitted with a similar suit as Spawn's and informed that he is now in the service of Malebolgia.
Much later, in Spawn #53, upon returning to Hell, Spawn is confronted and battles the newly-empowered Kincaid. It is a quick battle, as Spawn easily defeats Kincaid and severs his head.
After a series of seemingly senseless and brutal crimes, Spawn, with the aid of Sam, Twitch, and his mentor Cogliostro, discovers that Kincaid's ghost is forcing people into acting out their most violent impulses. These senseless crimes hit close to home, as a number of bums are savagely murdered. Spawn and the detectives are seemingly helpless to stop Kincaid as he jumps from body to body and continues to indirectly cause these senseless crimes. With each act, Kincaid not only damns the innocent souls coerced into committing the crimes, but grows stronger himself. Eventually, Spawn is able to lead Kincaid, inhabiting a police officer by the name of Rafferty, into the Dead Zone, an area of the New York City bowery where Heaven reigns supreme and Hell has no power. Now depowered, both Spawn and Kincaid fight each other hand-to-hand. During the melee, Detective Twitch, known as an incredibly accurate marksman, fires a single shot into the cop's forehead, killing the cop and the depowered Kincaid simultaneously.
Kincaid makes another brief appearance as a denzien of Hell in Spawn #100, as Spawn passes him on the way to confront and battle Malebolgia.
Kindcaid reappeared in issue 150 to torment Christopher, the lost soul that was sealed within Spawn's heart. Christopher was given the form and powers of a Hellspawn by the mysterious Man of Miracles, and eventually ran afoul of Kincaid, who was operating a toystore filled with Spawn action figures. In later issues, Christopher confronted Kincaid again at a diabolical carnival that was revealed to be a portal to Hell. Kincaid forced Christopher to watch every child murder (and other atrocities) that Kincaid had committed. This caused Christopher's eyes to burn out of their sockets. His necroplasmic uniform then tore Kincaid apart.
