Hal-Spectre was creating universes unintentionally at one point. Around that same time it was stated that Hal-Spectre is far away from being full-powered.

Spectre ate king of tears who had no soul either.
Ultimately this was Spectre's conclusion:
KoT couldn't be judged, because it had no soul. We saw the same result when Spectre attempted to judge Nekron. Granted, Spectre can still try to fight these forces--he just cannot render a formal judgement against them.
That's Hal as Spectre who was going through his spirit of redemption phase which weakened him.
Corrigan had no problem eating it and containing it.
That's just a silly restriction Johns placed on Spectre as he really seemed to hate the character. It's an outlier rather than norm.
Phantom Stranger is neither dead, alive or in between and doesn't has a soul either. Spectre can still affect him.
Oh Corrigan definitely had problems when he tried to eat KoT, lol. But again: Spectre can certainly fight the soulless--he just cannot render a formal judgement against them. That's all I'm saying. 🙂
Hal-Spectre shitting out universes is much more of an outlier than him being unable to affect the soulless, but you didn't seem to have a problem with that getting brought up right out of the gate... g007-psyduck
On that note, when was it stated that PS has no soul? I would have thought the exact opposite, actually. mmm
