Sam Burke and Maximilian “Twitch” Williams are two NYPD homicide detectives who first appeared in Spawn #1 (June 3, 1992). Detective Sam Burke is often seen as the brawn of the group. Sam is a large, headstrong man with a penchant for foul language and gruff behavior. Sam is usually the one to take “action” against any type of villain they encounter. Though Sam has often been accused of police brutality, the charges have never stuck. In fact, Sam takes great pride in being one of the few honest cops in a precinct he sees as infested with corruption and scandal. Although his style with criminals is rough, and he comes across as boorish to most others, he’s actually quite compassionate, beneath his rough exterior, to those in need. He has a real passion for doing the right thing and seeing justice done, even if he has to resort to not-so-civil means. Sam is very protective of those few he trusts and considers friends, especially his partner Twitch. Maximilian Steven Percival “Twitch” Williams III is mainly seen as the “brains” of the partnership. He is the one who usually solves or puts the pieces together in the rare crimes the detectives encounter. A brilliant mathematician who excelled at trigonometry, he has used his knowledge of angles to become an excellent marksman. A shooting prodigy, Twitch makes up for his small size with his ability to handle twin pistols with extreme accuracy and efficiency. He claims to have earned the nickname “Twitch,” as Sam once said, “because he doesn’t, ever!” In reality, “Twitch” was his despised high-school nickname, which Sam learned after intercepting a reunion invitation asking for ‘Twitch’ Williams. He refers to Sam Burke as “sir”, as throughout the years Sam has, time and time again, earned his trust and respect. The duo were at first at odds with Al, both due to Al’s questionable methods and personality and Al’s own distrust of the police. Eventually however, they had come to form a mutual respect and Al often sought help from the two, seeing them as two of the only people, cops, no less, that he could actually trust.
