[1] Bruce Stinson is a black-ops soldier who, late in his career, participates in Operation Knightstrike alongside Al Simmons, a fellow soldier-turned-mercenary.

According to the animated series Todd McFarlane's Spawn, Chapel is born in a prison in Joliet, Illinois.

Afterward, Chapel is forced to replace the missing skin with a skull that he grafts onto the parts of the bone that are exposed by his injury.

[7] When he is separated from this creature, Chapel returns as a woman named Gazer, only to be turned back to a man again and left feeling empty.

In the later Spawn comics, due to issues with Chapel debuting in Youngblood, Rob Liefeld took back the rights to him.

The second Chapel series, published in 1995, was written by Brian Witten and Eric Stephenson and featured the art of Calvin Irving.
