From Big Bad to Buffy’s Champion, Spike spent years redeeming himself, but was only just earned the role he deserved in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Spike is one of the most popular characters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the series' ongoing redemption storyline missed the perfect role and ending for him. The ultimate antihero, Spike's characterization throughout Buffy the Vampire Slayer might be the most complex, evolving from Big Bad to Buffy's champion. Luckily the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic book series has given Spike the conclusion he deserved.
Spike was first introduced in Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 2, episode 3, "School Hard." The character proved so popular that after his initial departure at the season's finale, Spike returned in season 3 and became a series mainstay. He eventually turned away from evil and joined the Scooby Gang on every adventure from season 4 onwards.
Most importantly though, Spike, as Buffy's best villain, killed two previous slayers, which is somewhat of a vampire record. This means that Spike, having ceased his slayer-killing schemes, is the most qualified to train new vampire slayers. These essential traits are demonstrated perfectly in Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 5, episode 7 "Fool for Love," during which Buffy quizzes Spike on the slayers he has dispatched.
Becoming Buffy's Watcher Completes Spike's Redemption Spike reluctantly began his redemption story after a microchip was installed in his brain that rendered him unable to harm humans. Subsequently, Spike often joined the Scooby Gang on their missions against evil, reveling in the opportunity to engage in a "spot of violence," but always with a limited degree of acceptance from the heroes.
After years of working with the Scoobies to defeat the forces of evil, Spike finally redeemed himself after sacrificing his life to seal the Hellmouth in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer finale. Becoming Buffy's watcher represents this journey reaching its conclusion. Buffy not only entrusts Spike with the lives of Slayers but also bestows him with some semblance of power within Buffy's Scooby Gang and the new Watcher's Council as a contemporary of the beloved watcher, Rupert Giles.
