    Imagine trying to steal from a drug store and the literal idea of fighting crime comes out of nowhere and beats your ass
  • @sethcushman5454
    I really like how the name THE SPECTER is emphasized no matter where in the sentence THE SPECTER is.
  • The Spectre: The Batman of the SCP universe. The Hero we never knew we needed but was hella grateful when he does show up.
  • @Nameless-ln5mr
    Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them just so happen to be creatures that embody the concept of justice and/or goodwill.
  • @jeepercreepers9
    There is a minor secondary anomaly that wasn't directly mentioned. Whenever 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫's name is typed, it is shown in a dramatic font, and people are compelled to whisper it dramatically whenever it is spoken
  • I love the idea of someone who is literally the physical embodiment of Crime Fighting playing a video game where you play as a criminal.
  • @allsuper9268
    Figures that the foundation locks up a completely beneficial anomaly and almost cause a complete brake down of society.
  • The Hunter's voice art acting, the Specter presence, the action, omfg it was a wild rush of satisfying combination of decency that really revigorates the awesome factor to great scales of incredibility!
  • @geardog24
    We need more heroes like "The Specter". No seriously, all these stories about murder monsters and end of the world scenarios are depressing. 😔
  • @anubisnave
    So I am halfway through the video, and can already tell you all, the Specters anomalous nature is that anytime someone says it's name, they say it like Christian bale says "Batman"
  • @oreo4835
    Feel like Hunter goes out of his way to say “THE SPECTER”
  • Yes! Superhero anomalies are my favorite! And this guy is just pure fun! And The Specter's plot armor with a compelling reason behind it makes him even better. I'd love to see what he'd do to combat an SCP like 3852.
  • @Rokabur
    Considering all the SCPs I've read about, this one seems entirely plausible.
  • @koukinkun9853
    05 : "Dr Bright is not allowed to be a superhero" Jack Bright : "Okay but what about the Specter ? 05 : "What ?" JB : "What ?"
  • Archon SCP “containment” is more focused on preservation and secrecy of the anomaly. Keep innocents away from it and keep it safe to keep a worse anomaly/consequences away. They differ from Thaumiels in that a Thaumiel can be put in an effective “break in case of emergency” box. Archons need to be free to exert their positive influence.
  • @josephwear9572
    I love this. This entity can literally be everyone and no one, everywhere and nowhere.
  • @Ayr1n_0
    Literally the SCP version of a Good Samaritan
  • Video title: “SCP-4494- Hardcore Gamer” Me: ah sick Video: embodiment of justice kickin ass Me now: hmmm this sounds like a good video game
