Here are some the fans probably didn't know. Spectre can bend whatever rules he likes as he has permission from the one being who built all of this. Being a spirit , it is possible for him to travel between the realm of the recently dead and Earth. Moreover, he can also drag people to a place where the Spectre rules and he can alter everything to his will.
Spectre knows about every mythical detail in the DC Universe and that makes him even more dangerous. He knows about all the demonic rituals and the bad places. Spectre has telepathic abilities, although he hasn't mastered them yet.
He can sense the places where people intend to carry out their bad thoughts, and on top of that, he can attempt psychic attacks. If he wants more information out of someone, the Spectre attacks the mind but he has to fight for it as the brain starts throwing projections at him.
Once the Spectre gains control , he can easily get the information he wants. Spectre's telepathic powers are nowhere near as good as Darkseid. The Spectre needs a human host to do his magic and once that's out of the way, he can do many things, including changing his size at will. This is a trick the Spectre uses to intimidate his enemies before using his trademark death stare. Size alteration is a superpower that many superheroes have in the DC Universe but every single one of them has a limit to which they can grow.
Spectre can grow meters in size without any fuss. There are many ways to be invisible. Either by bending light in the wrong direction or trying to camouflage.
Spectre is considered to be a master of disguise. That the character has survived, relatively unchanged in appearance and character since his debut, is a testament to his unique appeal. The Spectre has been known for being a tad overzealous regarding his job, as the sight of injustice and murder tends to send him into a blind rage that is difficult to quell. Sometimes, his actions in delivering justice outweigh the actual crimes, as was the case when he destroyed a whole country.
Venturing to the fictional Balkan country of Vlatava, which was locked in the throes of a deadly generational civil war, The Spectre summarily judged the whole nation to be guilty of atrocities and razed it to the ground.
To say this was overkill is an understatement, and remains one of the worst things the character has done. Despite his compelling origins and power set, The Spectre has had difficulty keeping a series for long.
His third series was the longest, lasting six years. This longevity is probably due to the writer, John Ostrander , crafting morally complex scenarios for The Spectre to navigate, circumventing the tedium of having him just fight supervillains whom he could easily overpower. With a background in theological studies, Ostrander made the character infinitely more interesting and defined him exceptionally well, making the third volume series a Vertigo-worthy read for any fan.
After Hal Jordan was revived as a Green Lantern and purged of the villainous entity Parallax, The Spectre was without a host for some time. Sensing an opportunity to strike, Eclipso convinced the Spectre that all magic went against the Divine Plan of God, driving The Spectre to enact a war against all magical elements of the DC Universe.
Eventually, Jim Corrigan grew tired of his extended life span on this plane, and decided to shuffle off this mortal coil and go to the afterlife.
This caused his bond with the Spectre to be severed, and the Spirit of Vengeance to exist without a human host. At the same time, during the so-called Day of Judgment, the fallen Angel named Asmodel sought to add to his power by bonding with the Spectre. A group of magic users tried to persuade Jim Corrigan to return from the afterlife and become one with the Spectre again, but he refused, content with eternity.
This is when the soul of the recently departed former Green Lantern Hal Jordan, who sacrificed his life to save the Earth during the Final Night crisis, chose to bond with the Spectre. Hal now saw his role differently than previous hosts — he saw himself as a Spirit of Redemption, not Vengeance. But once again, the Spectre was left without a human host. Without a human host once again, the Spectre becomes unhinged. He not only kills murderers, but he begins to kill people for much less serious crimes like stealing.
Without a human host, he simply has no context for what punishment is fit for which crime. Convinced of this course of action, the Spectre begins killing magic users of all kinds, coming into conflict with the community of mystical heroes on Earth. When he kills the ancient Lord of Order named Nabu, the Presence intervenes, and once again bonds the Spectre to a human host, that of recently slain Gotham City police officer Crispus Allen.
The spirit of Crispus Allen remains as the host to the Spectre until the events of the Multiverse shattering Flashpoint event. Sadly, this turns out to be a trap. Accusing the Phantom Stranger of betraying him, the Spectre is about to attack him, but the Presence intervenes, and sends the Spectre off to serve justice on those whom God thinks are more deserving of his swift and terrible vengeance. Jim Corrigan is forced to oblige. Powers and Abilities.
