Plot

 * Jim Corrigan is a police officer who is working on a case to bust mobster who killed many, including inadvertently his family. After work, he is murdered by the mobsters in an alley and thrown into a river.
 * Filled with extreme vengeance, his spirit is approached by the former fallen angel Aztar, who was eventually redeemed and became the spirit of wrath. Aztar tells Jim that it is time for him to go to Earth, but cannot unless he has a human host who can limit his wrath and power. He chooses Jim to be that person.
 * The Spectre seeks revenge on the mobsters.
 * A mysterious figure named "Phantom Stranger" approaches Spectre stating that he was not the first spirit of wrath. He is actually supposed to replace Eclipso and there can only be one on the Earth or else there would be total chaos in months. It is revealed that Eclipso is the reason Earth has been invaded by so many aliens in recent years (Steppenwolf, white martians, Darkseid, Brainiac, Doomsday, etc).
 * The Spectre seeks Eclipso and kills it.
 * The Spectre then finds more criminals, but is approached by Captain Atom, an experiment of the government. They fight and Spectre wins.
