So, I asked the same question for the Phantom Stranger, but I'm also querious about the Spectre. He/it has to have a host to survive, but that host is only from one of the many Earths we now have. So, is Spectre just one being of wrath or is there multiple Spectres around in different Earths causing "order" and punishment upon people?
Spectre
Character » Spectre appears in 1274 issues.
The Spectre is a supernatural being of near-unlimited might whose mission is to unleash the vengeance of God upon evil men. He is bound to souls of deceased humans, his power and personality varies depending upon the anima he occupies. The Spectre has been bound to many hosts during the modern ages, his most popular and most reoccurring host being that of Jim Corrigan.
Is the Spectre the same being in all multi-Earths?
There isn't much to support one answer or another. But here's one possibility:
In Crisis on Infinite Earths, when the Spectre finally appears to the combined heroes and villains, everyone regardless of universe recognizes him.
" @Supreme Marvel: cool.In my personal opinion, I think that they're all apart of the same entity. The mulitiverse has man Spectre, but when together for the most powerful version, I.E. CoIE.
@MrMiracle77: I wondered if there was something in one of the Crisises explaining this. "
" @Supreme Marvel: Hmm....What you mean byCrisis on Infinite Earths. People wonder why we don't see the fully powered version of the Spectre, my theory is that he's spilt into the mulitiverse. In CoIE, we see the most powerful verserion of the Spectre, and I think all the Spectre's from the mulitiverse joined as one to fight the Anti-Monitor."I.E. CoIE.
" if there is more than one spectre does tat mean that there is more than one source or whatever he is the vengance of? or is it like ghost rider, one devil but multiple ghost riders? "I think it's like a pyramid. One Presence, goes down a bit to the angel's, which I think are one of them each, because they move into each universe I.E. Vertigo and DC. Then below that are more of the same characters. Because wasn't the angel's around before the universe started?
" what angels? There are angels between the presence and the spectre? "Michael, Lucifer etc.
I would consider there are only one version of Dream of the Endless, Death etc.
