Justice League's Most Powerful Hero Just Became an Unstoppable Villain
Warning: contains spoilers for Justice League #75!
DC’s most powerful hero, the Spectre, has been corrupted, and there are no Justice League heroes left to stop him. As the embodiment of justice, The Spectre has long fought on the side of angels, but in Justice League #75, he is corrupted by the Great Darkness, creating one of the most powerful evil forces in the DC Universe. The Spectre then uses his power to kill several heroes!
The Spectre is not only one of DC’s most powerful characters, he is one of the publisher's oldest, tracing his roots back to comics’ Golden Age. Created by one of the creators who brought the world Superman — Jerry Siegel — along with Bernard Baily, the Spectre was corrupt cop Jim Corrigan. After he was killed, the afterlife was denied Corrigan; instead, he was changed into the Spectre and sent back to Earth to avenge evil and dole out God’s wrath. The Spectre has also been a member of the Justice Society, but has been missing from the DC Universe since the beginning of the Infinite Frontier era. Now, with Dark Crisis on the horizon, the Spectre has returned.
