Since the beginnings of human civilization the Spectre Force, or God's Divine Wrath, has patrolled the lands of man. Watching, waiting in the night for the unjustly killed, the murdered and the butchered, then it exacts bloody vengeance on the murderers. Since the birth of Christ the Wrath has been bonded to a mortal host to be its moral guide and anchor to humanity. In one of its bondings the Wrath was responsible for killing the first-born of Egypt. In the 20th century that anchor was murdered detective Jim Corrigan. As The Spectre they were one of the most powerful beings in the universe.
