Justice Society of America/Characters: Difference between revisions

When New York police detective Jim Corrigan was murdered in the late 1930s, he found himself raised from the dead and merged with the Spectre, the literal spirit of God's wrath, and charged with enacting (often gruesome) vengeance against evildoers. One of the JSA's founding members, Corrigan served as the spirit of vengeance for many years, tempering the Spectre's rage with his own humanity. Corrigan was finally granted eternal rest and the Spectre went on to bond with other hosts. See [[The Spectre|his own page]] for more.

* [[The Atoner]]: After betraying the team to join Black Adam's crusade, he asked to be let back on, and does a lot of this, offering his life to The Spectre so the people of Kahndaq may live, and fighting against Adam when necessary. The team has differing points of view on him.

* [[Depending on the Artist]]: Al used to be a redhead, with a standard comic book cherry-red. This went off-and-on during the last JSA series, and the relaunch seems to show him as brown-haired permanently now. He used to be almost eight feet tall naturally, but has suddenly shifted to a standard "tall, but not ''too'' tall" muscular superhero.

* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: His original persona most of the time, especially in Infinity, Inc., where he pines over [[Hot Amazon]] Fury, while admitting she loves his friend Hector Hall. The poor guy even ''proposes'' to her out of pity (and his own feelings) because she's alone and pregnant after Hector's death, and she politely turns him down by stating that they're friends. ''Ouch''. It isn't until his mother is killed by Kobra in modern times that he freaks out and shows a more brutal, savage nature, and even then it's tempered by his good nature.

* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: See Atom Smasher & Captain Marvel's entries.
