The Spectre

Voiced By: Alan Tudyk

Classification: Power Character

Biography: The Spectre is a cosmic entity and the physical embodiment of God's vengeance on Earth. Permanently bonded to a human soul, he uses his incredible divine powers to punish the truly wicked, usually ending his victim's lives in creative and ironic ways.

Intro: A green light shines in the air as the Spectre's cloak begins to form into his normal self, looking at the opponent, saying "Fear the wrathful face of The Spectre!", ready to fight.

Post-Round Taunt: Points his hand at the opponent, saying "Stare deep into my eyes." or "Your judgment is at hand."

Outro: The Spectre points his hand at the opponent, saying "May God have mercy on you, because I won't!", as a green cloud forms around the opponent as they start screaming in horror offscreen at the unknown fate given to them as The Spectre gives a dark laugh, vanishing.

Special Moves:
Reality Warp Drop: The Spectre forms a hole in the ground below the opponent, if it connects, they fall through it, only to fall from a airbourne portal to the ground, open for a free hit or combo. There are close, medium and far variants of the move.
Ground Warped: The Spectre makes the ground below the opponent knock up the opponent in the air, open for a free hit or combo. (Meter Burn: The ground forms hands, grabbing the opponent, opening them for a free hit or combo.)
Blinding Light Blast: The Spectre makes his hand glow bright green, firing a green blast at the opponent, knocking them down (Meter Burn: His hands just glow brightly, if the opponent is close enough, they get blinded for a bit, open for a free hit or combo.)
Warped Arrows: The Spectre forms arrows above the opponent, dropping down on them. (Meter Burn: The arrow keep the opponent in place for a bit, open for a free hit or combo.)
Spectre Teleport: The Spectre can teleport backwards and forward. (Meter Burn: Can cause a small explosion that can damage the opponent if they're close enough.)
Warping Punch: The Spectre warps towards the opponent before appearing in front of the opponent, punching them to the ground. (Meter Burn: He warps instead behind the opponent, punching them up into the air, open for a free hit or combo.)

Throw:
Forward: Grabs the opponent with his hands before throwing them into a warp portal in front of him to which they fall from another warp to the ground in front of him.
Back: Grabs the opponent with his hands before throwing them into a warp portal in front of him to which they fall from another warp to the ground in behind him.

Character Trait:
Apparition: The Spectre can form a apparition copy of himself which trails behind him, doing whatever he does, allowing for longer combos and more damage till the meter runs out

Super Move:
Wrath Of The Spectre: The Spectre warps behind the opponent, grabbing the back of their head and makes green light shine from their eyes and mouth as they scream in pain before we see the opponent in some unknown green cloudy realm as they're transformed into a crook (For the heroes) or a cop (For the villains) as they copies of themselves start violently beating them before we go back to normal time as the opponent falls down in pain.

Ending: The Spectre of this alternative universe was different than the others, seeking not only to see the Regime fall, but also the punishment of the High Councilor. Beaten, Superman was horrifed to see that it was the Green Arrow, who he killed himself, under the Spectre's cloak before being forced to relive that terrible day in Metropolis in a never ending loop of madness, so says the Spectre...

Trivia:
- Alan Tudyk has also voiced Green Arrow in "Injustice: Gods Among Us" and "Young Justice" along with playing Wash on "Firefly"/"Serenity" and Tucker in "Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil"
- The Spectre here in the One Earth universe, as noted, is not Jim Corrigan, but in fact Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, who was killed by Regime Superman, now personally taking vengeance against the Injustice (Ha, pun) Superman and the Regime has committed.
- The Spectre is a combination of both a zoning and long range fighter.
Even ghosts can fight, who knew?

And before people ask, i was planning to use the Jim Corrigan Spectre, but then giving it some thought as i read his backstory, i realized that the similar could happen to... Well, the hero i chosen due to his death as he died because of some bullshit injustice (Ha, another pun) dealt to him by Superman and the Regime, hence becoming the Spectre and making sure that they're the first one's he goes after. Plus, good plot twist, yes? Also, there are hints, both obvious and hidden, look for 'em.

I can see the Spectre alternately being Captain Marvel; remember what Superman did to him?  Also, the Spectre and that version of Cap have similar tastes in cloaks.
