Character Bio - When hard-boiled detective Jim Corrigan ended up at the bottom of a river, his soul's cries for justice were heard by the archangel Michael. Bonded to the Spirit of Vengeance, known as the Spectre, he was condemned to stalk the Earth and punish evil-doers in the name of God. For decades he has fought the villains of the world, as a member of the Justice Society, alongside the All-Star Squadron, or simply as an eternal, merciless agent of The Voice.

SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE
Once per round, when a Unique Hero you control in clear sight of Spectre is destroyed by an opponent's attack, you may move any unrevealed Order Markers from the destroyed figure's Army Card to this card. For the rest of the round, add X dice to Spectre's normal attack, where X equals the Life number of that destroyed figure, up to a maximum of +5.

WITHERING GAZE
If Spectre is attacked by an opponent's adjacent figure that does not have the Fearless personality and at least 1 skull is rolled, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 14 or higher, Spectre takes no damage, the opponent's turn immediately ends, and you may remove one unrevealed Order Marker at random from the attacking figure's Army Card.

INTANGIBILITY
Spectre can move through all figures, Fortress Walls, and obstacles, and is never attacked when leaving an engagement. Spectre cannot be targeted by opponents' non-adjacent figures for any attacks or for any opponents' special powers that require clear sight.

Possible Comic Art:


I prefer the first one.

[quozl]

Looks good! I think Spectre works alone though so Crime Fighter should be changed to something else.

[johnny139]

Yeah, I feel like Spirit would probably be most apt for him (like with Ghost Rider and Uncle Sam).

Looks good to me otherwise, though I'm not 100% sure if he's technically "Undead" in the traditional sense.

[A3n]

Agree with the others here, Spirit is the better class, & maybe Entity for the species. Otherwise good design .

[johnny139]

Also, I'm pretty sure that the Crisis sculpt of Spectre is WAY more than Medium 5. Probably closer to Large 8 or 9.

[IAmBatman]

That's the sculpt we want for this design, and, yeah, it's at least Large something. I can get the height when I'm back in NY next week, since I've got this mini.

Design is really cool.

He does work alone a lot, but he was also a member of the JSA for a long time, so I don't think Crime Fighter is inaccurate to that degree.

[Red Eyed Jedi]

I'm digging the write up. He looks like a fun, and B.A design to me.

[Karat]

Medium 5 was a place holder. I prefer Undead, and think Crime Fighter fits him really well.

[A3n]

Undead means his common foes will be Blade & Buffy .

[SirGalahad]

Huge target on him to prevent him rolling up to 9 attack, 10 with height, 11 with height and Cap, etc.

Attack needs a 'c' in the first power.
