You should see One Dumb Go's post in reply to mine and my subsequent reply in the Anniliation Wave vs DC Earth. It mostly takes place towards the end of the thread.
I guess I shouldn't be astonished though, once he tried to argue that Ganthet is higher up the food chain than Spectre.

I personally think Spectre takes this every time, but then again, I'm not an expert.
The problem with the match is that there are two characters who have almost no feats at all. The matter that they took down Galactus doesn't actually mean that much, even Vindicator did it. As I said earlier, the guy in Juntai's sig wins.
This is kind of an aside, but if Spectre is so powerful and omnipotent, how was Alex Luthor able to pull strings that set in motion Spectre destroying all magic in the DCU, which led into the Infinite Crisis. It's obviously not infallable, so the proper combination of genius, ingenuity, and power should be able to score a win against it, even as powerful as it is.
That's the thing. By on panel occurrances, Spectre's killed more regular non powered humans than he's gone up against cosmic heavyweights, and he's shown to have been outsmarted and out-manuevered by humans, so his low showings outnumber his high showings, though his high showings outweigh his lows. If you were to take into account all of his appearances as a body of work rather than just his high end feats, he's not that impressive. I'm not saying Tenebrous and Aegis would beat Spectre. I don't think 10 "normally" portrayed Galactus' would beat Spectre. I'm just saying away from climaxes in story arcs where there's a "universal" threat, Spectre basically runs around picking on regular humans turning them into candles and melting them or some other abstract snuff, and doesn't really do anything of merit other than taking on a major threat to buy time for the JLA to score a W (like having Parallax throw punches...).
Wow. This is the argument I've been making about Spectre for the longest time, but put into a well written paragraph that is easily understood.
Who the hell knows what "regular" spectre is. But if you took full powered spectre.... god only help everyone when Spectre goes looking for T & A.

2 Galactus level beings have NO chance against Spectre
Dealing with regular humans is his job role he seeks sinners and punishes them thats the very purpose of the spectre.
