Billy Kincaid

Billy Kincaid is a depraved serial killer who preyed on children in New York City, brought to chilling prominence in the early issues of Spawn as one of the hellspawn hero's first and most personal targets for justice.

Few villains in Image Comics history have left as dark a mark as Billy Kincaid, who slithered onto the scene in Spawn #5 in 1992 — right at the dawn of Image's universe-shaking arrival. Over more than three decades, he's haunted the pages of Spawn, Hellspawn, and The Curse of Sherlee Johnson, crossing paths with Spawn himself, Al Simmons, Twitch Williams, and Cyan Fitzgerald in stories that never let you feel entirely safe. His 22 catalog appearances may not make him a household name, but in the world of Todd McFarlane's gritty, morally complex mythology, Kincaid is exactly the kind of character that reminds you why Spawn's universe cuts so much deeper than your average superhero fare — a figure of genuine menace in a world already soaked in darkness.
