Jim Corrigan was a former GCPD police officer and the host of the Spectre. Working on several supernatural cases in Gotham City and sometimes internationally, Corrigan was known to be an able hero without the help of the Spectre. Nonetheless, due to the presence of the entity within him, he was feared by many, resulting in the Batman having his allies take precautions around him.
