A few more votes since the last update:* Jim Corrigan (Golden Age Spectre) = 62 votes (+3)
* Hal Jordan (Silver Age Green Lantern) = 5 votes (no change)
* Nobody (The Spectre unconnected to a "host body") = 3 votes (no change)

And geoffpayne1992 voted "other", but I don't think it was ever explained what was meant by that vote?
Was there a real life Jim or Jimmy Corrigan after which all the fictional Corrigans were named?
Jim Corrigan, I tend to take a lot of breaks and jump around in my comic reading. So I was kinda confused when I saw some other people at first. :P
Jim Corrigan. I'm not that familiar with Crispus Allen and Hal as The Spectre was just weird. The Mxyzptlk Injustice thing was interesting though.
A bat! That's it! It's an omen.. I'll shall become a bat!

Jim Corrigan. Thanks to John Ostrander's Spectre run and his appearances in JSA.

Having to depend on random comics was so weird when I was a kid. I swear if someone asked if I wanted to live in America in the 90s, I would've said yea cuz I want them comics.
But anyway Hal was my first encounter with the Spectre. It was a Superman comic where the Alpha Centurion was involved too so if someone can track it down for me I'll be grateful (with a No Prize). As for why it was weird its because later on I got some Zero Hour comics, I was like "the bad guy is the Spectre?"
