10 Shocking Times Sidekicks Quit

9. Nyx - Spawn

Spawn has been around for almost three decades, so it seems reasonable that he picked up a sidekick in that time.

Nyx had been interested in magic since she was a young girl, becoming a Wiccan in adulthood. These abilities allowed her to sense Spawn during a time he was powerless and lost, wandering the world as a human. Nyx tracked him down, helping him regain his powers and becoming his assistant and sidekick, using magic to help him however possible.

Because she surrounded herself with magic, Nyx was privy to all sorts of arcane information, and at one point discovered she could rescue a friend's soul from Hell, if she was willing to steal Spawn's power to do so.

Nyx was willing, gaining Spawn's suit and abilities, ultimately releasing her friend from her torment but unknowingly costing Spawn his powers. The demon Mammon played Nyx for a fool, double crossing her so that she had to forfeit Spawn's suit, as well as her own magic, to him.

Realising what she had done and what she had cost Spawn, she was on the run for months, until he finally caught up to her...

And forgave her for what she did.
