1!!As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked [[Administrivia/SpoilersOff as per policy.]] Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.
2* At the height of his power, [[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths the Anti-Monitor]] is about to [[GotTheWholeWorldInMyHand grab (literally) the entire DCU in the palm of his hand]], getting the ultimate MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight, when suddenly...
3-->'''Anti-Monitor:''' ''"I feel a force resisting me! WhoDares"''\
4'''Spectre:''' ''[[BigDamnHeroes "I dare, cruel one! And I will stop you!"]]''
5** The Spectre then ''drags'' the Anti-Monitor's hand back, preventing him from changing history and closing his sole window of opportunity, buying valuable time for the heroes.
6* His skill and creativity in killing without killing. NightmareFuel? Sure. Awesome? Works just as well!
7* Then there's the time he [[CurbStompBattle one-shotted]] ''ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}''.
8* 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.
9* Killing the Serial Rapist Dr. Light while he was in the middle of assaulting some prostitutes dressed as the ''Teen Titans'' is a moment that had many a fan cheering.
10* In DC Comics Presents issue #29, Silver Age Superman is trying to find ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'', who has just gone missing. He flies so fast than he ''breaks'' the bounds of ''reality'' and is stopped by ComicBook/{{the Spectre}}. Superman tries to fight him, but the Spectre completely {{No Sell}}s his power -- Silver Age Superman's power! -- then teaches him a lesson about power and responsibility and help him find Kara. Oh, and ''{{God}}'', -- yes, God! -- [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gFnnrVDIjZY/Tp2cgi8yrHI/AAAAAAAAND8/BEZ235eKhcE/s1600/dccp+29-09.jpg talks to Superman]] and [[GodIsGood calls him "a good and faithful son"]].
11* His appearance in the post movie comic for ''WesternAnimation/SuicideSquadHellToPay'' has him reduce ''Amanda Waller'' to gibbering fear when he tells her she's coming straight to Hell. Very soon.
12* ''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."
