Does Spectre always send souls to hell? Does this mean the kid that stole five bucks from his mom is in hell?

Does Spectre always send souls to hell? Does this mean the kid that stole five bucks from his mom is in hell?

Theft is a sin.

But, yes. The Spectre always sends souls to hell.

What an asshole

He's just doing what God told him to.

The Spectre is basically a supervillain, dude.

If there's something stupidly spiteful to be be done, it's safe to assume that he'll do it.

>the spectre always send souls tonhell.
No he doesn't

Anyone he punishes goes to Hell.

Name one person he killed who went to Heaven instead.

You know that artist is in jail for owning CP.

That kid, for starters, since he did it when he was on a rampage without a human soul to ground him. He wasn't thinking straight.

No he doesn't, but that kind of is part of the job when you're the agent of the Abrahamitic God's wrath on Earth

We don't know that he went to heaven.

Funny thing. The first Spectre was Hindu.

No he isn't

Read more spectre, he's always go8jg crazy or out of control in ways he wasn't asked to do. He's nothing but rage, which is why he's bound to a human host to keep him in check

He sends people to be judged by God. Spectre doesn't condemn anyone to hell by himself.

Why would he go to hell? According to the Bible children don't go to hell because they're ignorant of sin.

God told him to avenge the innocent

Mom didn't ask for her money to be stolen. That brat got what he deserved.

Are you kidding? He does it all the fucking time. There was even an arc in JSA about how everyone the Spectre had sent to Hell came back to get revenge.

That sounds like some new testament shit.

Speccy is literally a scumbag that punishes the little people but lets total monsters in costumes run free to continue to break every one of God's commandments.

The fact the superhero community doesn't try to stop him just shows how toothless they are

He tried to go after the Joker once. Batman stopped him. Then he decided that, since the Joker was crazy and didn't know right from wrong, he couldn't be judged by God.

So Spectre destroys countries and kills millions of innocents because the leader was an asshole but he can't kill a fucking mass murderer?

Christ I hate spectre

On DC universe, only people who think that they should go to Hell, go to Hell.

Lucipher himself said it.

Yeah. He was full-on ready to murder the fuck out of the Joker without judging him first, but Batman basically went "No, fuck you, he can't help himself." and so the spook went "Fuck you, I'll take a look inside his head and prove you wrong."

But Batman was right.

>Believing the Prince of Lies

Remember that the Luciver series isn't canon to the rest of the DCU. God is still very much present in the universe.

It's also said in Swamp Thing and Sand Man though.

Still doesn't gel with later depictions of Hell, such as Underworld Unleashed and that JSA story with Hal.

Or the time the Superbuddies went to get Ice from Hell.

Spectre has been beaten by Joker three times oddly.

Oh? I only know about the Ostrander run.

And Emperor Joker, but that storyline was dumb.

they went to Limbo for a while, I think the Pope said they got o heaven now

On the Lucipher comics, it is show that nobody is "aware" of this rule.

Damn son, just cast Hama or Mudo on Joker and call it a day. If you really must just use Death flies.

Hallelujah, faggots! Sup Forums has left Sup Forums!

Making your own 'all powerful, all loving' god the #1 in the comic universe you write is stupid, because now you are personally creating all sorts of evil cosmic forces he built into creation and making the universe/multiverse so shoddily constructed that it can collapse entirely when one individual performs a relatively minor action (just in time for a major Event to desperately grab more sales), thus proving your god to be fallible and incompetent.

good job. Now that you've called attention to it, they'll be swarming.

Nah, the sandman season of mists says that the Christian god exists in the DCU but he's not all that powerful. His power does not go beyond heaven and earth. He definitely has no control over the multiverse

It's called status quo, you dip. Spectre doesn't kill any major DC villains for the same reason Reed Richards can't cure cancer.

>He definitely has no control over the multiverse

Lucipher literally created multiverses.

Why do you keep spelling it Lucipher? His name's Lucifer. With an F.

Shut up kike

>According to the Bible children don't go to hell because they're ignorant of sin.

Only if they're baptized.

Lucifer.

Also, people can still get dragged to hell against their will. Naturally, you go where you feel you should go, but interference can fuck with that.

For example, Dream casts his past lover down to Hell, and she certainly didn't feel like she belonged there. Same goes for Elaine and her friend in Lucifer, who got trapped there by demon bullshit.

>For example, Dream casts his past lover down to Hell, and she certainly didn't feel like she belonged there.
Dream is an unbelievable dick.

At least Spectre has the excuse of being compelled by God's will.

Is everyone forgetting Astra from Hellblazer?

Spectre isn't really compelled by God's will.

He's just an asshole. It's been shown multiple times that his rage and spite gets in the way of his function. He even argues with archangels over it on occasion.

Another example of

That doesn't mean its non-canon, it just means the editors don't give a fuck

Lucifer appears in Sandman, who appears in JLA. Sandman also has ties to Batman, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, the original Sandman, Darkseid, Superman, Constaintine, and Swamp-Thing and the greater DCU.

Its defiantly canon

Wasn't stopping the Spectre from destroying all magic an arc?

He argues with them in favor of mercy a number of times too.

The problem is that there is no consistent Spectre. Every writer has a radically different conception on what Spectre's duty, opinions, and relationship between host and spirit are. The only consistent part is that he kills bad guys. Gruesomely.

Indeed he is. That rule is still DC canon though. It was introduced in Alan Moore's Swamp Thing (which Gaiman lifted a lot of inspiration from for Sandman).

And it remain a canon DC rule since long after Moore. This is from just after the 90s Thanagarian invasion.
That said it how it works might have been rewritten by one of the Crises.

The Sandman interpretation of hell even showed up in Stanley And His Monster FFS.
Plus I'm pretty sure Morrison validated the "you get what you expect" model in one of his comics. I wanna say Kid Eternity.
