Spike Spiegel is the main character of [[Cowboy Bebop]]. A bounty hunter with an affinity for [i]jeet kune do[/i], he hunts down criminals who escape the grasp of the Inter-Solar System Police (ISSP) with the help of his partner, former Ganymede policeman [[Jet Black]] on the ship known as the Bebop. Spike does not always succeed in getting a bounty, and his penchant for causing massive destruction when in pursuit of a bounty head means that the bounties that he and Jet do get do not last long.

Spike also has a hidden past that involves the Red Dragon, a crime syndicate modeled on the Chinese Triads, and in particular the ruthless assassin known as [[vicious_(cowboy_bebop)|Vicious]]. Also figuring big into Spike's past is the mysterious woman known as [[julia_(cowboy_bebop)|Julia]], who Spike and Vicious both loved.

Spike's weapon of choice is an [[iwi jericho 941|IMI Jericho 941]], and when chasing bounty heads, his vehicle of choice is the [[Swordfish II]], an Asteroid racer outfitted with four machine guns, missile pylons, and a plasma cannon.
