(Spectre III #15) - Kemal Saad, a former terrorist turned moderate leader of the Legion of Palestine was in Israel for peace talks, and the victims of his earlier terrorist attacks cried to Spectre. The Israeli superteam the Hayoth were Saad's security, Golem and Colonel Hacohen were both irritated by the situation, Hacohen personally knew people killed by Saad. The Spectre prepared to judge Saad and execute him, and the Hayoth stood in his way, but he made quick work of them. Golem's body was scattered into sand, although he still lived. Hayoth member Ramban tried to reason with him that more blood would be spilled if Spectre killed Saad and the peace talks ended, but Spectre replied that he would avenge those future deaths too. Eclipso had possessed Hayoth liaison Colonel Hacohen and intended to use him to kill Saad to ignite a new Middle East conflict. Judith got in his way, and was badly injured when Hacohen shot her. Spectre disliked Eclipso taking vengeance from him, and Eclipso called him an usurper. Ramban and Spectre were able to force Eclipso back into Hacohen's black diamond. Ramban tied his life essence to Saad, and told Spectre that if he killed Saad he killed him as well, and the wrath of God finally backed off.

(Spectre III #16-18) -Father Craemer called Ramban, and said he'd recently spoken to the Spectre, and feared he gave him bad council. Ramban said they should compare notes. Madame Xanadu visited Craemer and Ramban, telling them that Phantom Stranger had assembled a team of mystic heroes to defeat Spectre, but knew they'd fail. Madame Xanadu was taking a different tack, along with Ramban and Father Craemer she summoned the soul of Jim Corrigan, hoping to reach the Spectre's human side, and knowing he'd been unstable since his anchor Amy Beitermann died. Father Craemer reached out to Jim, and Corrigan realized that he was very tired of his responsibility, and that he wished the world was gone so he could go into eternity. Craemer convinced him that there were other good souls like Amy Beitermann, Jim, revitalized, took back control of the Spectre form Eclipso, and entrapped him in the heart of darkness. He destroyed Eclipso's moon palace, and turned the heart of darkness into dust. The Spectre said his judgment was that he could only judge humanity on a case by case basis. The Archangel Michael appeared, and said Spectre had been tested, but passed. He would never have been allowed to destroy the world without God stopping him, and Heaven wanted Spectre to continue his work. His mission accomplished Ramban returned to Israel.

(Spectre III #31) - Father Craemer stood in front of a tribunal to determine if he'd be allowed to stay a priest. Amanda Waller, Ramban and Xanadu had gotten word of the tribunal, and arrived to speak on his behalf. Waller talked about him doing God's work with the worst of the worst in the Suicide Squad, and Ramban and Xanadu said he'd saved Earth from both Spectre and Azmodus. Craemer was flattered, but said the tribunal was ecclestical, not civil.

(Spectre III #35, 36) - The Spectre-Force, freed from Jim Corrigan, sought to raze Jerusalem to avenge Christ's blood, as it had intended to do millennia before. Ramban defended Israel, throwing up protective shields. Jim Corrigan and Madame Xanadu came to the rescue; Jim suspected that there was a soul within the force, albeit a weak one, and entered the Spectre-Force, instructing Ramban to construct a small golem. Louis Snipe, who'd made a deal to get out of Hell in exchange for helping Neron was the soul, twisted into a worm's body and covered in webs. He wanted out but the Spectre-Force created a spider-avatar to attack Jim. Jim ripped off one of its legs, used it to free Snipe, and cast his soul into the golem. The Spectre-Force was confronted by Archangel Michael, who demanded he bond with Jim, or return to Limbo, and the Wrath of God acquiesced.

(Spectre III #62) - Corrigan decided to give up the mantle of the Spectre, at last seeking peace in death. Craemer arranged for his bones to be buried in a small grave, and performed a funeral service, with all of the friends Corrigan met as the Spectre attending, including Ramban. The Spectre-Force vanished and Jim ascended to Heaven.
