Jon Spectre is a mutant who exists in an alternate future in the Marvel Comics universe. The character, created by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld, first appeared in X-Force vol. 2, #2 (November 2004).
Within the context of the stories, Jon Spectre is a mutant with the capability to turn his body intangible. Born in a future when mutants, humans and Apocalypse fought with each other. When Jon is young, the mutant warrior named Nathan Dayspring Askani’son convinced the mutant Askani Council that it was time to attack a threat called the Skornn. The following war nearly destroyed all life on Earth and among the dead was Dayspring’s ally and Jon’s father, Adam Spectre.
When Jon Spectre grew up he traveled back in time to the early 21st Century to warn a mutant named Cannonball of the destruction of mutants caused by Dayspring, who lived in that era as Cable. Cannonball decides not to join X-Force after Jon reveals what Cable had kept secrets about their future. Sunspot, a member of X-Force, chooses not to work with Cable anymore. Cable considers Jon a traitor but Spectre, Cannonball and Sunspot were still all helping X-Force in the fight against the Skornn. Jon Spectre is depowered during the M-Day and the energies that he used to control were then drawn to The Collective.

“But there is nothing which delights and terrifies our English Theatre so much as a Ghost, especially when he appears in a bloody Shirt. A Spectre has very often saved a Play, though he has done nothing but stalked across the Stage, or rose through a Cleft of it, and sunk again without speaking one Word.”
