Meet The New Spectre! He used to be Robin until he was murdered by a deranged Juggalo.
From Wikipedia: The Spectre debuted in More Fun Comics #52 (Feb. 1940) when hard-boiled cop Jim Corrigan was murdered. His spirit was refused entry into the afterlife, however, instead being sent back to Earth to eliminate evil by an entity referred to only as "The Voice".

The Spectre begins by seeking bloody vengeance against Corrigan's murderers in a grim, supernatural fashion. The Spectre is eventually awarded charter membership in the first ever super-hero team, the Justice Society of America in All Star Comics. Jim Corrigan is resurrected in More Fun #75 (Jan. 1942), after which the Spectre's ghostly form enters and emerges from him, though he also functions independently.

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, More Fun #74 (Dec. 1941). When Corrigan enlisted in the military and departed to serve in World War II, in More Fun #90 (April 1944), the Spectre became "permanently" invisible, becoming a secondary player in his own series. The feature's final installment was in issue #101 (Feb. 1945), and the Spectre made his last appearance in the superhero group the Justice Society of America at roughly the same time, in All Star Comics #23 (Winter 1944–1945).
