In the DCU, just curious
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 there anyone stronger thatn him?
Well, there's always God. But, otherwise, they've set him up, in his modern incarnation, to be all but invincible. It's always taken a team effort to do him in.
ps, mxy may not actually be stronger, but he can hang with Spec! God, on the other hand, well, spectre's his servent! so that pretty much tells ya!
Alpha says:
"The Spectre is to the DCU as The Living Tribunal is to MU. He is only second to his master. DC keeps going back and forth about his role. Sometimes he is judge of the universe then he goes to just being a avenger of injustice. "
And sometimes he's really weak and other times he has power beyond understanding. In the 80s the guy could hardly do anything, now he can turn people inside out.
However, The Spectre obviously has to be brought down a couple of pegs during a company-wide crisis, or else the event wouldn't be anymore than an issue long:
Villain- "I'll kill you all!"
Spectre- "No you won't."

No way SS or Galactus could take him if Spectre is at full power.

LOL!
Anyway, The Brothers Yin and Yang would be far stronger then Spectre

cant believe you actually made this thread, how many times did you see him get beaten? and more specifically, his creator is definitley.
"The Spectre is to the DCU as The Living Tribunal is to MU. He is only second to his master. DC keeps going back and forth about his role. Sometimes he is judge of the universe then he goes to just being a avenger of injustice.
"
Yeah ok, then how come the spectre could barly hold of the Anti- Monitor?
The Spectre isn't DC's Living tribunal. He was paired with the Living Tribunal because there was no equivalent to him in DC.
Spectre has rarely displayed power on level of Living Tribunal, and never anything that would equate their function. Even though the Spectre might be as powerful at times, Living Tribunal is higher in the celestial hierrachy.
If I were to compare spectre and LT, I would say that LT is a manipulator, he uses his awesome power to keep the multiverse in balance, he is a nigh omnipotent entity. The spectre, I wouldn't label him as omnipotent, rather, he's an unstoppable force. He has a job to do, and not a damn thing in this universe can stop him.
Now as for Anti-montior, he is the most powerful evil being in dc (Except maybe Lucifer, and I doubt how evil he is), So barely holding him of isn't exactly a show of weakness.
And another thing, people always complain about how Spectre's power is so inconsistent, but even at low power, he is still one of the most powerful beings in DC. Apart from the episode with Cain in final crisis, I can't remember him being beaten since 2000.
"Didn't Captain Marvel recently beat him in a battle?"it was the other way around
"Barry Flash said:Correct... and that battle showed that Captain Marvel does have an actual limit of vunerablity to Magic... even though Spectre has the Highest Order of Magic"Didn't Captain Marvel recently beat him in a battle?"it was the other way around
"
"Spectre beat and killed the Wizard Shazam, if he hadn't beaten Billy it would have been stupid"Correct... but thats the point. Captain Marvel has a limit to his Magical Invunerability
"on a side note I want a Marvel family series :PI wouldnt mine that either...
I know it's random"
"on a side note I want a Marvel family series :PThere was in the 40s- 50s but it was ended
I know it's random"
He is actually very powerful, the writers just want to make someone else seem more powerful by having them beat Spectre. They use him in different ways, as in either make someone else seem superbly powerful, or use him as a godly presence that puts an end to something.
