Doctor Spectro is a light-powered super-villain and enemy to Captain Atom. In his original portrayal he was a scientist who developed prisms that could alter human emotions, turning to crime when he was thrown into his own machine. In Post-Crisis continuity he was a fake super-villain used by Wade Eiling to cover up Project Atom, although he later turned to crime anyway. Doctor Spectro was created by Steve Ditko and Joe Gill, first appearing in Captain Atom #79. (1966)
