* ''Comicbook/WarWorld'' saw the Spectre dish a CurbStompBattle against '''Superman'''. The Man of Steel punches the Spectre but soon realizes he can't hurt him and tries to flee, only for the Spectre to teleport right in front of him. The Spectre even points out that he doesn't feel a thing from Superman's blows, comparing them to "the whisper of snowflakes."

* Police Officer Nate Kane managing to temporarily resist the Spectre's punishment while in his own soul through sheer force of will. Even spewing forth a BadassBoast in defiance. Keep in mind the only other person who was shown to do so was the Joker due to a combination of the Joker's insanity and the Spectre being weakened at the time.
