I think the Spectre would be more powerful due to him being enpowered by the Supreme being of the DCU. But Superman gets treated like the most powerful. So who is more powerful?
Who is more powerful? The Spectre or Superman?
Not even in Pre Crisis times could Superman hurt the Spectre. He stopped Superman from nearly destroying the Multiverse and he didn't even budge
@darkman61288: Canon Superman isn't even top 10. Superman, sometimes, isn't even the most powerful member on the JL.
The Specter, without a doubt.
The Specter is a cosmic force with no known weaknesses, while Superman sometimes can hardly handle an enemy that uses unnatural forces like magic and other stuff. And if kryptonite is used... game over.
Superman is arguably the most powerful powerhouse but powerhouses are just below omnipotents like Spectre
MoS would break his neck.
Easy.
Good thing the Spectre is already dead then.

MoS can snap the neck of Lady Death Herself.

Nah. Since the late 90s Flash and Martian Manhunter take that spot easily, plus Captain Atom is way above too.
Far below. The Spectre is way out of almost any powerhouse's league. It doesn't matter how fast or strong they are.
Yea superman didn't destroy the rock of eternity, kept two universe apart with strength alone, Makes 5th dimensional imps his play things or can go toe to toe with michael demiurgos. Of course the spectre is stronger by far.
Wha? What even gave you such thought? Different leagues, mate, entirely different leagues…
Spectre by a country mile.
On a related note, Ostrander's first run on the Spectre (the depowered ghost of vengeance incarnation) is my favorite version of the character. Omnipotent beings aren't really that interesting.
Superman prime one million might be a more interesting comparison but even then I think the spectre is still more powerful
@batman1130: lol no
@shaokahn: we haven't seen to many feats by prime. I'm not sure if he has even fought anyone but it probably wouldn't be much of a fight anyways
@batman1130: SP1mil may be powerful but he doesn't have any feats compared to Spectre . The only version of Superman that could beat or atleast stalemate would be ThoughtRobot . The other version dies in a horrible death
Even if you took all the Supermen of the Multiverse (with the exception of the huge one from the end of Final Crisis) they wouldn't even register as a threat to the Spectre.
Superman is a very powerful hero (sometimes the most powerful on Earth).
The Spectre is an unstoppable multiversal force when not nerfed by the Presence (another word for plot in this case).
@shaokahn: I don't know much about thought robot superman. What are his powers?
@sodamyat: How?
@darkman61288: Because the question on who is more powerful a alien or a being that is labeled as the wrath of God is ridiculous in nature.

well he is nigh omnipotent but what about lucifer?
In the 90s run of The Spectre and possessed Superman goes after the Spectre with the Spear Of Destiny on hand. Needless to say, Spectre did not have a nice day. I don't recall well, but I think Superman hurt him really really bad.
But yeah, Spectre is the hand of God powerful.

Get's treated like the most powerful? I think you're mistaking reception/popularity with power.
Superman, as powerful as he is, is a living organic creature with limitations. Spectre is not even in the same league. He's more of an abstract entity that's only limited by a host.
By this same logic Captain America is as powerful as Thor, or perhaps Galactus because of the respect and reception he gets? People respect Superman,Captain America, Batman, etc and they are leaders and mascots or flagship characters but the Spectre isn't even dancing on the same floor with them.
