Jessica Priest is a fictional character from the Spawn universe. Specifically, Priest serves as a substitute in the Spawn film for Chapel, Al Simmons's killer in the comic book. Priest was played by Melinda Clarke in the film.[1]
Publication history
The character of Chapel (originally from the comic book series Youngblood) could not be used in the Spawn movie because the rights to the character were owned by Rob Liefeld. McFarlane created Priest as a replacement for Chapel in the movie and later had Priest retconned to be Spawn's killer in the comic as well.[citation needed] Some of her background is revealed in Curse of the Spawn #12-14.[2]
Fictional history
Jessica Priest works as an assassin for Spawn's nemesis Jason Wynn.[citation needed] Prior to shooting Simmons, she searches South America for a biogenetic weapon for her boss.[citation needed]
In other media
Priest was portrayed by Melinda Clarke the 1997 film adaptation Spawn. The character also appeared in the video game Spawn: In the Demon's Hand.[3]
Priest has been the basis for several action figures by McFarlane Toys based on the movie and comic character.[4]
