Powers
The Disciple is immensely strong, powerful enough to tear apart Spawn's necroplasmic body with his bare hands. He has two fiery wings that engulf parts of his body, and is capable of shaping these flames into weapons - he is shown wielding an axe of fire in issue #160.
The other eleven Disciples are similar in appearance to the XIIth. They all have silver armor and fiery wings, though some appear much less human than XII. Many of them wield weapons.
- XII - An axe made of heavenly fire
- XI - A staff of fire
- X - Two sickles
- IX - No visible weapon
- VIII - A scythe
- VII - A ball and chain
- VI - No weapons, but his lower torso is snake-like and tipped with a pointed tail
- V - Double-bladed glaive
- IV - No visible weapon
- III - Two long javelins
- II - No visible weapon
- I - A fiery sword, the flames coming seemingly from a burning skeletal hand on the crosspiece.
