He'd originally turned God's instrument of divine justice down on the job offer. He'd spent the year watching his family, crimes, and Batman. Once, while witnessing a cult killing, he'd been able to touch something tangible - he knocked a beer bottle off a table. He later found out no charges would be brought against Corrigan - his own killer. He agreed to become the Spectre's human host. Their first job together was a man who'd preyed on children.

Issue Infinite Crisis Aftermath: The Spectre 3 Subtitle Dead Again conclusion Date September 2006 Writer(s) Will Pfeifer Artist(s) Cliff Chiang storyline Allen was given his first opportunity to decide on a punishment (but not decide on who received the punishment). A corporate embezzler was killed by the Spectre spitting money at him. The Spectre laughed when Allen said he was ready to decide who receives their wrath. He was shown just how not ready he was for that. He was given one choice, and he went after Weiss, the cult killer. The oldest Allen son could not go through with killing his father's murderer, so his little brother took the gun and went after Corrigan. Cris watched his son kill his own murderer. Allen realized he must punish him and he appeared so that he was recognizable. The Spectre gave him a moment with his son. The Spectre came clean - he'd used Allen after he died, before he agreed to become one with him. Once they were merged, the Spectre punished the man who'd been Allen's first murder case, a Joker copycat killer.
