The Spectre is a cosmic entity and the physical embodiment of God's vengeance on Earth, known as Aztar. Permanently bonded to a human soul, he uses his incredible divine powers to punish the truly wicked, usually ending his victim's lives in creative and ironic ways. His existence is in response to the failure of Eclipso, the spirit of God's wrath that turned completely malevolent and evil.

Jim Corrigan was the original superhero and acted as a member of the Justice Society of America during the Golden Age and SILVER AGE of DC COMICS. More
