Jason Wynn is a

Spawn
. Wynn is the director of the United States Security Group. He is perhaps the most powerful man in the world, and has politicians throughout the government on his payroll. His actions caused Al Simmons' soul to be sent to Hell and transformed into Spawn in the first place, making him a major villain in the comics as a result.

Wynn also runs a heavy trade within the

Chinese triads and the Mafia, whose boss, Tony Twist, answered directly to Wynn. He is depicted, in many ways, to be a reincarnation of Genghis Khan.[1]

Fictional character biography

Jason Wynn is the director of the United States Security Group, an umbrella agency encompassing the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and National Security Council. When working for Wynn, Simmons had been ordered to carry out too many bloody missions and atrocities with fewer and fewer satisfactory explanations, and was beginning to ask difficult questions; to Wynn, the master controller, this was intolerable. While on a mission, Wynn had Simmons ambushed by his partner, Chapel, and burned alive. As Spawn, Simmons came back seeking revenge, but Wynn somehow always manages to escape.[2][3]

Wynn uses

Machiavellian intrigue and subtle machinations to expand his power base. Wynn provides weapons to rebel armies in different countries, sometimes playing two factions off against one another so that whoever wins will be indebted to him. He is cold, calculating, and utterly ruthless.[4][5]

Deal with the "Devil"

Wynn had an agreement with

US Government.[6]

Simmonsville was destroyed by Spawn during Wynn's brief stint as

Redeemer and was defeated. He then had his memory wiped and was returned to Earth two days after his disappearance. After this, Wynn would continue to work off and on with The Clown
, Malebolgia's henchman, to try to bring about Spawn's second death.

The Return

When Mammon restored The Clown's existence on Earth and gave him a pass to take a new body, the Clown chose Wynn and assumed a dominant role in his psyche. The Clown took the form of a hallucination which allowed Wynn to collect himself enough to return to the NSA. He then went on a killing spree in his spare time, brutally murdering women that resembled Wanda Blake.

Wynn was caught in the act, and the Clown's face paint, at a construction site. Spawn beat him and saved the woman.

The Clown finally made his play for Wynn's body. By "stepping on his hands," he caused Wynn to let go of the steel girder he was clinging to and fall to his apparent death, then took full possession of his body.

Current status

During the torture of Spawn by Grand Inquisitor

, but it was revealed that they were lower-level demons, masked in the visage of Spawn's enemies through the magic of Thamuz.

Wynn reappeared in issue 167–168. After the white light event, he is alive and separated from Clown, the only side effect being that his hands have become permanently stained red. Though he attempts to regain his political power and authority, he is foiled by Spawn, who confronts Wynn to gather information on the reappearance of Clown/Violator. Throughout his career, Jason Wynn had gathered incriminating evidence on various governments and organizations, preventing him from being terminated and providing him with a bargaining chip to regain his authority if lost. However, Spawn reveals that he had found and destroyed Wynn's collection of evidence, leaving Wynn without the safety net that he had built for himself as protection against all those who want him dead. Spawn then leaves Wynn to his predicament, seeing Wynn as a "dead man".

In Spawn #227, Jason Wynn was finally hunted down and killed by having his neck broken by the new Spawn, former scientist Jim Downing, whose wife was tortured and killed by Wynn prior to his transformation.

Return as Disruptor

Unlike his comics counterpart, Wynn in the film kills Simmons in person with Jessica Priest's help rather than ordering his murder.[8] Following the attack by Simmons and the death of Priest, Violator convinces Wynn to have a device attached to his heart that will release Heat 16 worldwide if his vital signs flatline as a deterrent against assassination attempts. However, Malebolgia wants Simmons to kill Wynn and initiate the apocalypse. Wynn then proceeds to go to the Fitzgerald residence. After Terry Fitzgerald sends an e-mail to reporters that would expose Wynn's illegal activities, Cyan and Wynn enter the room. Wynn destroys Terry's computer and takes the family hostage as Violator shows up. Spawn arrives and nearly kills Wynn, but Al extracts the device from Wynn's body with magic and destroys it. Following the defeat of Violator, Wynn is arrested by two detectives that resemble Sam and Twitch.
