I thought John's was resurrecting all the Flashes he could in the crappy "Rebirth" so he didn't have to worry about any of his favourites being Black Lanterns. He did the same with Superboy.

Unless a Flash dies in Rebirth.....

The level isn't necessarily what matters most, but rather the role he's given. Spectre's sole purpose now is to be taken down by a newcomer in a single shot, or be unable to do anything about him 🙁

Yeah, you said it Kris. It's like since something big is happening they better show him er I mean better show him getting owned 😠 . If they are going to show him he should be treated alot better then that and make it at the end of the event giving a little help. If this is how hes going to be shown I'd much rather not have him in the story at all.

that explains that then...

I can't wait for Black Hand to explain the secret of Phantom Stranger. In the last lines of Black Hand's diary. It written. "The Phantom Stranger will face the truth behind his existence and theirs".

And as much as people hate it, I love the fact that Spectre is taken out of the picture. This way, he doesn't save the day like is most big events;lJohns even gave a perfectly good example.

i'm interested to see what the line about phantom stranger meant as well. i mean, all we really know is that he's neither dead or alive. aside from that, all we've ever seen regarding his 'true' past/potential power was in "secret origins" - and even that still listed like 4 possible origins for the readers to choose from.

when is the last time spectre really "saved the day" during a big event? zero hour, was it?

Yeah, I don't think those 4 origins will be used. My guess is that he is in the middle of the white and darkness war.

Didn't he destroy a huge chunk of enemies in revelation?

yes. however, spectre was still owned by the 'ultimate villian' of the crisis [ie. he did not "save the day."]

i really think zero hour was the last, most important thing he did.. mmm

Well, yeah he didn't save the day by beating Mandrakk, but his role was quite important. I mean the entire ark was all about him. In the end, he got his "full" power back and remade the universe. That's a quite big "save the day" moment.

Though, you are right, his last big fight was with Parallax.

I can see a nice explanation of why he won't be saving the day by killing Nekron.

spectre had a single FC tie-in ["revelations"] devoted mainly to him. however, FC itself had nothing to do with him.

also, what gave you the impression spectre remade the universe? afaik, the only character to do that was superman wishing for such via the miracle machine.

That's what I meant by saying ark (bad wording).
I though he did remake the universe when he said the "be undone let that which was unmade be re-formed". And wasn't the multiverse at that point all crushed by DS?

i can't recall the context of that statement right off hand [don't have the issue with me.] but i can confidently say that spectre did not remake the universe/multiverse. that was a task only superman's wish could accomplish.... unless you think the whole of DC was remade two different times during that arc..?

No, I don't think it was remade twice, but the context was pretty convincing.
Here is the scan.

pretty sure he was referencing the ALE [as he was used by vandal to spread it throughout the world a few issues prior.] *shrug*

SO you believe he reversed the effect on ALE(giving no will?)

sure.

if you look at the foreground pics in the scan you posted, what do you see? i see mostly free people; happy people. what i do not see is creation itself being remade.

Co-sign Galan. I can see the opposite side I suppose, but it's a big stretch to see that as creation being remade. We'd have to imply a lot in those words.

I guess they all coming together after all.
