| rdfs:comment | - The Spectre is an extremely dark anti-hero from DC Comics who was infamous for exacting extremely graphic and often torturous punishments on others during his early years and continued this trend on and off into the modern age as the embodiment of God's Wrath.
- The Spectre is an aspect of God Itself, the Divine Vengeance incarnate. The Spectre has walked among mankind since the days of the Old Testament, meeting out justice to wrong-doers. Since the death of Christ, the Spectre has been bonded to a mortal host, to serve as the Spectre's guide and anchor. (Cosmic Being)
- He is a cosmic entity and the physical embodiment of God's vengeance on Earth. 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.
- Tier: 2-A at his peak, but usually qualifies for much lower levels. Name: The Spectre Origin: DC Comics Age: Unknown Gender: Male Classification: Ghost, Police detective, Angel, Wrath of God Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Speed, Enhanced Stamina, Enhanced Durability, Invulnerability, Flight, Reality Warping, Cosmic Energy Manipulation, Shapeshifting (includes changing his size), Intangibility, Precognition, Telepathy, Telekinesis, Teleportation, dimension travel, Illusion Creation, Soul Manipulation, etc. Durability: Multiverse level+ at his strongest Stamina: Infinite
- The Spectre greeted Harry Kim and B'Elanna Torres shortly after their entry into the program and was present throughout most of their ordeal. When The Clown was feeling glum, the Spectre suggested that he take his frustrations out on the hostages rather than the other characters, which inspired The Clown to play the "insect game." When Torres was attempting to disable the program from the real world, the Spectre was one of the last characters to disappear, alerting The Clown to the rapidly disappearing environment before he followed suit. (VOY: "The Thaw")

Near-Omniscient and remembers the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Weaknesses: The Spectre can be injured or even slain by sufficient magic force such as the Spear of Destiny (although it should be noted that due to the nature of the Spear, it is precisely suited to harm him). If his body dies then The Spectre will be no more and the human spirit and the Divine Wrath will separate. The amount of power he has is limited by the amount The Presence is willing to give him, so his power level canonically varies enormously between different appearances, even beyond normal differences between writers and decades. He also cannot do anything that The Presence will not allow him to do.
* Intimidation: The Spectre excels at being able to intimidate and frighten his adversaries. This is usually done through showy spectacles such as assuming a monstrous appearance, growing in size, projecting a loud, booming voice, etc. In combat he can shoot green (or yellow) energy blasts.
* Judgment: The Spectre punishes souls who have done evil, often by using his reality warping powers to give them ironic punishments, and then damning their souls to hell. The Spectre's destructive capacity is variable, but he is ranked as Multiverse Level+, due to matching the Anti-Monitor when the entity was displayed at its strongest (although the Spectre had to be boosted by all of the DC heroes in order to do so). However, he is not normally portrayed as this powerful. In addition, he has repeatedly been badly outmatched against the 5-dimensional imps in "Crisis Times Five", "World's Funnest", and "Emperor Joker". He was once grossly outmatched by, though technically survived a beating from, Michael Demiurgos during John Ostrander's Spectre run, but this was over a decade earlier than when another writer established Michael as Outerverse level, and as such logically does not power-scale. Also, that was the Unbound Spectre, who is immensely superior to baseline Spectre. The Hal Jordan Spectre merging with the Void in a J.M. DeMatteis story is considered as an outlier, as the Spectre has never portrayed as 1-A on any other occasion, and as such it cannot be used to upgrade the character.
