off their mortal coil
and now roam the world is eternal
spirits The Walking Dead vampires or
anything in-between Solomon Grundy’s fan
the zombie guy I had to get him
I read about him in the files yeah he’s
tough but we can handle it funny thing

hunter hunting the evil living souls of
the earth and bringing them to hell
number nine secret who are you secret
that won’t cut it
we need answers do you no harm does he
have any weaknesses secrets it is often
said that a manner in which someone is
killed determines if their spirit stays
tied to the living world first you lure
us into a trap
now you free me what’s your game
but this proved to be true for young
greta hayes after she was killed by her
own brother staying linked to the mortal
world has allowed credit to linger on
both planes of existence giving her the
abilities of flight teleportation and
the duty of escorting souls to the other
side she also doesn’t possess the
definitive form rendering her
incorporeal
number eight gentleman ghost I like it
very imaginative but your rings useless
against me Lantern and why are you
running death isn’t the handicap it used
to be and it’s certainly no excuse to
abandon your sense of fashion or
tasteful etiquette being subject to a
life of poverty led Englishman Jim
Craddock into becoming one of the
country’s most feared criminals
I’m the man who haunt you gentlemen
ghosts

killed but left to wander the living
world as a disembodied soul unable find
eternal rest Craddock decides to
continue his unsavory lifestyle while
seeking revenge on the members of the
Justice League
rest in peace Batman
number seven Morbius Michael you were
expecting maybe Bela Lugosi very funny
the scientists cruel fate was a product
of his own doing in a desperate attempt
to cure his debilitating blood disease
dr. Michael Morbius enacted an
experimental treatment that involved
live bats and electroshock therapy
the effects of this treatment largely
outweighed the benefits as Morbius took
the form of a vampire that relied on
blood for sustenance apart from the
numerous physical adaptations Morbius
also possessed the ability to pass on
his pseudo vampirism through biting
number six The Spectre
Oh God the wicked that inhabit the earth
had this supernatural entity to answer
to showing no remorse The Spectre
repossesses the dead and bonds himself
with their soul in order to bring
justice to their killers who are you I
am vengeance I am The Spectre this
cosmic figure has been identified to be
infinitely powerful as he’s impervious
to nearly every form of harm while he’s
never been seen at his full potential
the spectre often makes sure his victims
know why he is tormenting them his
punishments have ranged from son death
to outright physical and psychological
torture you can’t get one dead man
the guilty must be punished for their
crimes
number five Solomon Grundy
glum down
born on a Monday listened on Tuesday
married on one it might take a bit more
than batarangs and a punch to the head
to bring this reanimated corpse down
likely born on a Monday this wealthy
merchant Cyrus gold became a zombie
after dying and being buried in
slaughter swamp bonding with the swamp
matter gold body regains life however
all notion of his identity and past life
was gone distraught and now immensely
powerful gold adopts the name solomon
grundy and goes rampant due to his new
form Grundy is invulnerable to almost
all forms of attack and always comes
back after being seemingly destroyed
come on Grundy we’ve been through this
before
you don’t have a chance against me let’s
talk it over maybe I can help
number four Casper
most spirits yearn to haunt the souls of
the living and then there are some that
would rather just be friends
we understand it could be difficult
making this distinction but this
friendly ghost goes to great lengths to
differentiate himself from the rest of
his ghostly kin finding it difficult to
relate to other ghosts Casper has
normally befriended human children it’s
still unclear if Casper ever held a
human form although if he did we’re
pretty sure it was Richie Rich however
it is largely implied that he holds no
recollection of life before he became a
ghost I’ll let you go now okay you’re so
cold yeah but it saves the heating oh
yeah number three Ghost Rider the spirit
of vengeance is a terror to behold and
boy does he ever have a sweet ride
Johnny Blaze his career as a stunt
motorcyclist was cut short after
relinquishing his soul to the devil in
exchange for his father’s life you’re my
tiny blaze now bonded with the demon
xerath oh s— blazes whole body becomes
engulfed and Hellfire along with his
head transforming into a flaming skull
at night
taking up the duty to protect the
defenseless from evil
Ghost Rider can be found traversing the
night on a signature motorcycle
number two The Crow near Elma the
Avenger the killer Achilles myself once

only desire Eric and his girlfriend

road shot in the head and paralyzed Eric

get beaten and killed brought back to
life by a mysterious crow Eric seeks
vengeance and stalks the members of the
gang responsible for Shelly’s murder
victims aren’t we all you may look a bit
emo but he is every right to be just
don’t call him that to his face
are you some kind of ghost before we
unveil our pick for top ghost and undead
comic book character here are few
honorable mentions
number one spawn why are you fine I’m
talking me you did bad if there are any
lessons to be learned here
it’s that making deals with evil
entities usually yields unfavorable
repercussions
after being murdered by a fellow CIA
agent Al Simmons his body was sent to
hell in penance for all the innocent
lives he took this is the dog if you
need my army you can see Wanda again
desperate to see his wife again Simmons
gave his soul to a demon known as Malabo
