Name

The Black Spectre first appeared when they hired theBeetle to steal certain government plates for them, butDaredevil stopped him, only to realize he was a distraction and the plates were stolen by the Spectre already.

Soon after, they kidnapped and brainwashedBlack Widow, Daredevil's girlfriend and ally at that time. Trying to investigate Black Spectre's real goals, Daredevil discovered that their leader wasMandrill, who used his pheromones to mind-control women to work for the Black Spectre. Mandrill intended to use his group to overthrow the US government and start a reign of chaos. Even with the help of theThing andShanna the She-Devil, the Spectre was hard to defeat.^[1][2]

Sometime later, they resurfaced as one of the many organizations that formed an alliance withHydra,A.I.M., theSecret Empire,Agence Byzantine, andRoxxon Oil.^{[citation needed]}

When Daredevil stole theOmegadrive, an object that contained data on each crime organization, from them, Agencé Byzantine tried many times to retrieve it, as well as the rest of the organizations. Black Spectre also framed theBlack Cat for theft in an attempt to recruit her to steal the Omegadrive back, but she backed out of their deal and left a note to warn Matt. With help fromReed Richards, Daredevil was able to send the information of Black Spectre to theDaily Bugle resulting in Black Spectre being shut down as a warning to the other crime organizations.^{[citation needed]}
