{{Quote|The most destructive force in the world is negativity. It is true power. Negative energy exists in all living things. It's created from emotions such as fear, anger, hatred, jealousy, and aggression. I can manipulate this energy, convert it into beams of destructive power that annihilate anything in its path. And right now, my little foe, I have you square in my sights.|Devilman describing the Devilmite Beam to [[Goku]]}}'''Spike''', also known as '''Devilman''' ( アックマン ''Akkuman''), is a devil from Hell who later became one of [[Fortuneteller Baba]]'s fighters.

== Biography ==

=== Dragon Ball ===

==== Fortuneteller Baba Saga ====
During [[Goku]] and his friends' quest to defeat Fortuneteller Baba's fighters to locate an undetectable Dragon Ball, Spike watches as Goku easily defeats [[Bandages the Mummy]] in the Devil's Toilet within Baba's Palace. As Goku prepares for the next match, Spike discusses the fight with Grandpa Gohan, who is set to be Goku's final opponent. Confident he can defeat the young boy, Spike is surprised to find Goku dodging his attacks effortlessly. Spike attempts to defeat Goku using his most lethal move, the Devilmite Beam, despite Baba’s warnings. Unaware that Goku has a pure heart, Spike is shocked when the attack has no effect. In a final attempt, he wields his Demon Fork but is ultimately defeated when Goku kicks him into a wall, moving on to face Grandpa Gohan.

==== King Piccolo Saga ====
Spike's records are mentioned in the World Martial Arts Tournament files stolen by [[Tambourine]]. Although it is unclear if Spike was targeted by Tambourine, it’s unlikely, as Tambourine’s evil heart would make him vulnerable to Spike's Devilmite Beam.

=== Dragon Ball Z ===

==== Majin Buu Saga ====
Spike either perishes in Super Buu’s Human Extinction Attack or when [[Majin Buu|Kid Buu]] destroys Earth. He is later revived with the rest of Earth's population by Porunga and contributes his energy to Goku's Super Spirit Bomb when Mr. Satan calls upon Earth's people for their energy.

=== Other Dragon Ball Stories ===

==== Budokai Tenkaichi 3 ====
In the game's What-If Story mode, "Unexpected Help," Spike takes on [[Frieza]], [[King Cold]], [[Appule]], and two other soldiers waiting on Earth to kill [[Goku]]. Spike surprisingly defeats them using his Devilmite Beam, showcasing his power.

* '''Magic Materialization''': He can create objects seemingly out of thin air through magical means.
* '''Demon Fork Rush''': Spike creates a pitchfork to uppercut his opponent into the air, then flies up and repeatedly stabs them with the pitchfork. Finally, he swoops down to slam his opponent to the ground, causing significant damage.
* '''Devilmite Beam''': This powerful technique converts an opponent's negative thoughts into destructive beams capable of annihilating anything in their path. The attack only functions if the target harbors negative thoughts.
* '''Kaikosen''': A mystical energy attack that ensnares the opponent in electrical energy, temporarily paralyzing them. Spike often uses this technique before launching the Devilmite Beam to ensure a direct hit.
* '''Ki Blast''': The most basic form of energy wave, featured in games like ''Budokai Tenkaichi 3'' and ''Revenge of King Piccolo''.
* '''False Courage''': One of Spike's Blast 1 techniques in ''Budokai Tenkaichi 3''.
* '''Fork Attack''': Utilizing Magic Materialization, Spike creates and throws a pitchfork at his opponent, which explodes upon impact like a missile. This technique appears in ''Budokai Tenkaichi 3'' and ''Dragon Ball: Origins 2''.
