    The Sinister Lives of Captain Skull! last edited by AmishAvenger on 04/11/22 07:30PM View full history

    The use of an experimental anesthetic on a sniper-shot ambassador causes him to be possessed by his ancestor, an 18th-century pirate named Captain Skull who has received strong supernatural powers in the process. Only the Spectre can stand against him.

    When an ambassador is shot, an experimental procedure summons the spirit of his ancestor, a long dead pirate, Captain Skull to his body. Captain Skull begins looting in modern Gateway City before leading The Spectre on a chase through time.
