Mentality

Specter is a very calm and self-confident person, and is often sarcastic towards those who annoy him. He’s highly cunning and can imagine brilliant strategies to succeed in his missions. However, despite being a hero he doesn’t really care about being the image of a hero, he just does his job. He is more motivated to take down villains then being a shining symbol of hope and justice. It should also be noted that Cullen doesn’t hate villains at all he just views them as part of the job. Specter sees villains like firefighters view fires, don’t hate it or love it just something that is part of the job and needs to be dealt with.

Power

Trigger type: Natural trigger

Specter can enter a phase/phantom state then move through inorganic objects with ease. If Specter comes into contact with something organic while in this state then it will snap him out of it this can be rather dangerous. That being said Specter doesn’t stay in this state if he doesn’t have to he prefers to move through objects quickly then change back.

Specter also has the ability to possess an inorganic object. When phasing through an object he can decide to “push himself into it.” If he does so he can then control the object and manipulate it to a certain degree. The force he can exert on the possessed object is slightly higher then the force he could exert on it in his physical form. For example, if he possesses a car he could drive it and steer it or if he possesses a cup he could tip it over. When he possesses an object coming into contact with organic object won’t dislodge him so if somebody picked up a cup that Specter is possessing then it won’t affect him. Specter has the same durability as the object he possesses but the pain is dulled. It should also be stated that the bigger and more complex something is the less control he has over it, things like tinker tech are to complex for him to control. Another thing Specter can't do something he normally wouldn't be able to do for example he could possess a helicopter maybe start the engine but he wouldn't know how to fly it.
