| − | ==Origin== |
||
| − | Crispus Allen was once a patrolman for the [[Metropolis]] police department. Upon being promoted to the rank of Lt. Detective, he transferred from Metropolis to [[Gotham City]] where he worked in Homicide along with detective [[Jim Corrigan II|Jim Corrigan]]. Crispus learned that Corrigan was a corrupt cop and labored to bring him down. However, Jim got the drop on him and killed Crispus by shooting him in the back. |
||
| + | ===Non-Continuity appearances=== |
||
| − | While Crispus's body was in the morgue, the Presence bound the Spectre into him, making Crispus the newest host for the Spirit of Vengeance. Crispus was reluctant to accept his new position, so the Spectre left him for a year to consider it. The Spectre returned one year later, and Crispus accepted the role and responsibility of the Spectre, albeit at great personal cost. Crispus and the Spectre merged to become the latest incarnation of the Wrath of God. |
