The Spectre, Phantom Stranger, Doctor Fate. These three are like a really good and unstoppable trinity.

[@HeavyCrown316]

@Hansel Kevin Lewis and that's the scary part 😳

[@drsoe08]

I'll give you a more unstoppable trinity Lucifer Morningtar, Michael Demiurgos & Ellaine Belloc.

[@Tribozom]

@@drsoe08 No it's Lucifer, Merkabah, Humanity & the Divine Powers.

[@ZephyrBW]

If doctor date can’t stop the spectre does the phantom stranger even have a chance ?

[@philv2529]

Mr myxyzptlk and bat mite are both more powerful than the spectre

[@vincentfranklin17]

The Spectre is one of DC"s most powerful, yet one of their most underrated characters.

[@markmolino6091]

Agreed

[@zoeyyymccool8625]

They can't have their "golden son" getting outshined so they didn't utilize spectre to the fullest, just like captain atom.

Vincent Franklin he's my favourite too

[@andreaskazakeos5539]

Hell yeah, that would be great. Jim Corrigan was introduced in that shirt lived Constantine series. I told my wife,"oh lord if they do this character the right way, we're in for something".

[@BruceWayne-ri4wr]

You're right that would be awesome but they'll never do it because it involves Christianity to create the specter and Hollywood has went so woke they would never glorify Christianity in anything because they're so atheistic and just post modernism dejour That they could never use this character unless they completely changed his origin or turning them into when God creates and God is somehow a bad entity

[@lemejohnny]

This DC story cross-over with the Bible's New Testament is so convincing ✨✝️✨

[@Smiththeinspiringanimator]

Agreed.

[@briandaleske5139]

I HAVE SOMETHING COMPLETELY SEPARATE TO SAY INVOLVING HERO (THE SPECTRE) I think that a movie about the DC supernatural superhero (The SPECTRE) should get made someday.

I like the Spectre and how the spirit of vengeance needed a host to contain it - because it was becoming like eclipso - bent on wrath instead of holy vengeance- meaning that both of those spirits needed a host to contain it and teach compassionate holy vengeance instead of wrath and hatred

[@DCRAIDER05]

Definitely going to need the spectre part 2

[@jerinegeorge3906]

The way you put these videos together is absolutely amazing, you style is very different, well done! This channel is gunna blow up !

[@ComicOrigins]

Thank you so much! I’m glad your enjoying the channel. Make sure to check out all of the origins!

[@TevyaSmolka]

Great character bio on specter

[@IamLookingforWoody_________786]

For those who questions that why he sometimes loses from superheroes weaker then him.. Answer: The Spectre is beyond his power... If the presence want, he can give him access to use his limitless power but this will result in that the Spectre will became corrupt just like eclipso...The presence allows him to use a limited level of his god powers.

[@alltheworldsastage4785]

One of my personal favourite characters. One of the most powerful characters in fiction.

[@dcmarvelcomicfans9458]

This was great I've heard plenty of retcons to the origin of the spirit known as the Spectre but this one was interesting.

This channel needs way more subs, it gives so much insight into comic book characters and makes it a bit more dramatic

Thank you!! I have done a video for Doctor Fate, it was actually my second origin I did!

[@JohnWolfy]

I love the way you narrate the origins of the characters (even giving each character a theme of their own), the setting, the panels and at the same time the simplicity of the narration. An excellent channel without a doubt.

[@will2Collett]

In the 1960's, of all the super hero's - Superman, Batman, Green Arrow, Captain America, Jim Corrigan is my favorite. The writing seemed weak, but his Spectre was amazing. I remember what seemed his demise, there were no more comics, sadly. This is a nice introduction. He really is a hard character to write for, like Superman, none of us knows how to live like an ArchAngel, who can write such a charater???

[@Cell287]

I’d like to see Livewire. You are amazing at this. 😄

@@jalenikezeue4114 Because the JSA and The Spectre has a common goal. And also Nabu is just a Lord of Order, the Powers of the Spectre comes directly from YHWH aka The Presence (God Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent). He is literally God's Vengeance incarnate that's why he's so powerful.
