We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Cogliostro — Cogliostro's first appearance is in Spawn #8, not #9.
Cogliostro — Cogliostro is revealed to be a former Hellspawn known as 'The King of the Dead' or 'Lord of the Dead', not 'The King of Hell'.
Malebolgia — Malebolgia is not a 'Prince of Hell' in the Spawn canon; he is a demon lord who serves the Princes of Hell, such as Mammon and others, and is subordinate to them, not a ruler equal to or above them.
Malebolgia — Malebolgia was not destroyed by the combined efforts of Al Simmons and the Violator. In the original series, he was killed by Al Simmons alone (with the help of the symbiote's power), and the Violator was not involved in his destruction.
Cold Squad — The Cold Squad is not a canonically established faction in the Spawn series; there is no NYPD 'Cold Squad' that hunts Spawn in the comics or other official media.
Cold Squad — The statement that the Cold Squad was formed to tackle cases with little leads and became infamous for pursuing Al Simmons after his resurrection is an invented claim; no such unit exists in Spawn lore.
War in Heaven — Malebolgia is not the primary antagonist of Hell; he is a major antagonist of the Spawn series, but Hell's ultimate ruler is a being often called the God of the Dead or the Lord of Hell.
War in Heaven — God is not directly depicted as an adversary in Spawn canon; the conflict is between Heaven and Hell, with God rarely participating as a direct antagonist.
End of Days — The Horsemen Saga is not a widely recognized or official name for the storyline in Spawn Vol. 1 #48–52; the actual arc is often referred to as 'The Apocalypse' or 'The End of Days' arc.
End of Days — Malebolgia does not orchestrate the unleashing of the Horsemen in this arc; the Horsemen are summoned by the angel Zera as part of Heaven's plan.
Al Simmons Death — The claim that Simmons was killed because he discovered Jason Wynn's illegal arms deals is inaccurate; he was killed for discovering Wynn was selling advanced weapons to foreign enemies.
Al Simmons Death — The claim that Simmons signed the contract with Malebolgia 'while still alive, in exchange for being reunited with his wife Wanda' is misleading; the actual deal was to see Wanda again, not a permanent reunion.
Spawn Issue One Hundred — The Violator does not return in Spawn Issue #100.
Spawn Issue One Hundred — The Godslayer storyline is not part of Spawn Issue #100.
Armageddon Event — The entity 'Armageddon' is not a separate demonic entity; in the canon, 'Armageddon' is the name of the event and the transformed state of Al Simmons (Armageddon Spawn), not a distinct antagonist.
Armageddon Event — Zera is not an antagonist representing 'forces of Heaven' in the Armageddon storyline; Zera is a rogue angel who opposes Heaven's will and is not aligned with the forces of Heaven as a unified side. She acts independently against Spawn.
