    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?

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Crisis 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 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?
