When Corrigan enlisted in the military and departed to serve in World War II, in More Fun #90 (April 1943), the Spectre became permanently invisible, becoming a secondary player in his own series. During the mid-1940s, the popularity of superhero comics began to decline and the Spectre was reduced to playing the role of guardian angel to a bumbling character called 'Percival Popp, the Super Cop', who first appeared in More Fun #74 (December 1941). Jim Corrigan is resurrected in More Fun #75 (January 1942), after which the Spectre's ghostly form enters and emerges from Jim Corrigan, functioning independently of him. The Spectre is soon awarded charter membership in the first-ever superhero team, the Justice Society of America in All Star Comics. He eventually turns down an offer to relinquish his mission to destroy all evil. Corrigan soon creates his signature costume, breaks off his romance with Clarice, and continues to live as Jim Corrigan, assuming the secret identity of the Spectre whenever he is needed. One of them was turned into a skeleton upon touching him. The Spectre seeks bloody vengeance against Corrigan's murderers in grim, supernatural fashion. Corrigan's spirit is refused entering into the afterlife, and is instead sent back to Earth by an entity referred to only as 'the Voice' to eliminate evil. The Spectre debuted in More Fun Comics #52 (February 1940) when hard-boiled cop Jim Corrigan, on his way with his fiancée Clarice to their engagement party, is murdered by thugs who stuff him into a barrel filled with cement and which is then thrown into a body of water.
