Spectra is cruel and uncaring, serving as an enigma for a majority of ''New Vestroia''. This causes those affiliated with him to constantly contemplate the villain's wants, desires, intentions, and even his true self, as seen when Mira starts to believe he is her long-lost brother and when Shun questions Spectra's true purposes during the [[New Vestroia]] evacuation.
He is willing to do whatever it takes in order to attain victory, as seen by his shameless activation of [[Forbidden Ability Cards]]. He also is power-hungry, first seeking to rule all of [[Vestal]] and later seeking and try to harvest the power of the [[Perfect Core]] Energy from [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]] and desiring his [[Helios]] to become the [[Ultimate Bakugan]]. He is confident, sometimes even overconfident, in his abilities, not even the least bit intimidated by any opponent; he calls [[Apollonir]], one of the Six Legendary Bakugan, an "old Bakugan" and an "old fool." (Perhaps needless to say, Dan and Apollonir won the battle.) Spectra is lastly shown to get carried away during battle, beginning to scream and laugh evilly, or even insult his opponents. Even his [[Partner Bakugan]], [[Helios]], acts with Spectra's same mannerisms.
Spectra is also very cunning, able to trick opponents easily and lead others into tempting situations when attempting to convert someone over to his cause, as seen when he first showed Gus "true power." He is also unafraid to make threats or even take hostages, as seen when Spectra threatens [[Dan Kuso|Dan]] with [[Runo Misaki|Runo]]'s life. Spectra proves to be loyal to only himself, eventually turning his back on the Vexos to pursue his own goals after deeming [[Hydron]] unworthy of owning the statues of the Six Warriors of Vestroia, and refuses Dan's several offers to team up.
====First Arc====
[[File:SupeKutora-fuantomu-spectra-phantom-23464301-480-360.jpg|thumb|200px|Spectra's appearance in New Vestroia]]
Spectra Phantom makes his debut brawling against [[Baron Leltoy]] and [[Blade Tigrerra]]. He easily defeated her with Helios and took her to [[Hydron]], who froze her into a statue. This event and Spectra's cruelty would haunt Baron for some time. After Dan and Marucho join the Resistance and begin turning the tide against the Vexos, Spectra was forced to take matters into his own hands. Thus he proceeded to join in on Dan Kuso's on-going battle with [[Gus Grav]]. This caused Dan to struggle until [[Shun Kazami]] came to his rescue, [[Shun Kazami|Shun]] defeating Gus while Dan conquered Spectra. It was after [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]] experienced a massive power surge via Helios's taunts about Tigrerra that Spectra started to show a small hint of betrayal, stating that he wouldn't let the magnificent [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]] become a play thing, meaning that he wouldn't give it to Hydron if he captured it.
Spectra, along with Gus and [[Lync Volan]], trailed after the Brawlers and arrived on Earth through a [[Dimensional Transporter]], taking [[Runo]] as his hostage and offering Dan an ultimatum: join the [[Vexos]] or risk Runo's safety. The Brawlers split up to pursue their foes, Spectra revealing that he is actually against Prince Hydron's rule and wants to team up with [[Dan Kuso|Dan]] to take him down. In a show of good will, he released [[Runo]]. [[Mira Fermin|Mira]]'s suspicion of Spectra being her brother Keith only rose because of this action, as she believed that he infiltrated the [[Vexos]] to free the Bakugan. However, it is learned that Spectra and Gus only wanted to take down [[Hydron]] so that Spectra could succeed the role of ruler of the [[Vestals]]. Meanwhile, [[Dan Kuso|Dan]] refused to believe Spectra's intentions, and [[Alice]] soon warped in using [[Masquerade]]'s warp card. She took Spectra, Gus, and Dan back to the lab, where Dr. Michael sent Spectra and Gus back to [[New Vestroia]]. Unfortunately, the transporter needed to be repaired before another trip could be made. This left Spectra, Gus, [[Lync]], [[Mira Fermin|Mira]], and [[Baron]] trapped on Earth. During her time stuck on Earth, [[Mira Fermin|Mira]] battled a stranded Gus on the bet that if she won, Spectra would remove his mask, while Mira would fight with the [[Vexos]] against [[Prince Hydron]] if she lost. Mira planned on fighting Spectra himself, but Gus intervened, and Spectra allowed it. Mira won, and Spectra removed his mask, revealing himself to be Keith Fermin, much to Gus's disapproval. Spectra left Mira in shock about the fact that her worst enemy was really her brother, Keith Fermin.
Spectra later showed his true colors as a cruel and uncaring person when he activated a Forbidden Ability Card in order to capture [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]]. He was told by an old fortune teller before his battle with Dan that his fate would be terrible if he continued on his chosen path, which he shrugged off. The second time he saw her, she said his fate was worse than before, Spectra shattering her crystal ball in response. He then went on to challenge Dan as planned, the Forbidden Ability allowing him to successfully obtain [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]]. Spectra later used the power of the Forbidden Cards to push [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]] to his limits in his second brawl with [[Dan Kuso|Dan]], the boy seeking to regain Drago from the antagonist. He teamed up with [[Apollonir]] to do so, throwing the Bakugan into Drago's body, thus freeing him from Spectra's grasp. However, Spectra did not seem to be angered at the loss, saying to Gus that he had collected all of the data he needed from Drago, which he later used to create [[Cyborg Helios]].
Spectra later convinced Mira to join the [[Vexos]] and trapped Dan and the others in an electrical cage so they would not go back to [[New Vestroia]]. Unfortunately for Spectra, they escaped and took Dr. Gehabich's Dimension Portal. However, only Dan and Baron could go back, as they were the only ones present with Gauntlets. Spectra helped Mira free [[Shun Kazami|Shun]], [[Ace]], and [[Marucho]] in the depths of [[Beta City]], saying only ''"You are in my debt, Mira", ''while [[Baron]] and [[Dan Kuso|Dan]] were brawling Shadow and Mylene. This gave him a level of distrust among his peers, especially [[Mylene]]. He and [[Clay Fermin|Professor Clay]] upgraded and changed [[Viper Helios]] into the Ultimate Cyber Bakugan. Spectra also battled Mira and came out victorious, forcing her to stay loyal to the Vexos. She later went back on her word by throwing the brawl with Ace and Dan, making Spectra visibly angry for the first time.
Spectra then found Dan outside of [[Gamma City]] and decided to challenge him in an attempt to eliminate [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]] so [[Cyborg Helios]] would be the only [[Ultimate Bakugan]]. He then proceeded to use the powerful [[Maxus Helios]] against Drago by taking some Bakugan meant for [[Prince Hydron]] to use on Helios. After Vestal Palace's Dimension Controller was destroyed by the power spawned during the brawl, Spectra and Dan engaged in Gauntlet Combat. Before the palace exploded, Gus and the Bakugan that Mylene threw out, [[Mega Brontes|Brontes]] and [[Elico]], saved him. He and Spectra then fled to a distant part of the dimension to plan for their next move. He and Gus are both labelled as traitors by the Vexos after leaving them for dead.
====Second Arc====
[[File:YouTube- Bakugan New Vestroia - 45 - Fusion Confusion part 1 HQ 0002.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Spectra's appearance after he removed his mask.]]
Spectra now had every Bakugan the [[Vexos]] had thrown out. He worked with [[Gus Grav]] to force the Bakugan to evolve, using the Forbidden "[[Chaos Ability X]]" [[Ability Card]] to force evolution upon them, the two well aware that the evolution process induced by the Card could also remove the Bakugan's soul (This only happened to [[Brontes]], as [[Volt Luster]] would discover in a later battle with Gus as we can see in ''[[Brontes' Betrayal]]''). [[Mega Brontes]], [[Elico]], and [[Premo Vulcan]] were included in the process, evolving into [[Alto Brontes]], [[Blast Elico]], and [[Rex Vulcan]]. Now that [[Spectra]] was no longer allied with the [[King Zenoheld|King]], the [[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]] [[Resistance]] had two enemies, the Vexos and King [[Zenoheld]] himself after the six [[Attribute Energy|Attribute Energies]] while Spectra himself sought and try to obtain the [[Perfect Core]] Energy from [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]] to make Helios the Ultimate Bakugan.
Spectra later returned and took on [[Dan Kuso]], [[Marucho Marukura]] and his sister [[Mira Fermin]] in a brawl. Although he defeated [[Marucho]] and [[Mira Fermin|Mira]], [[Dan Kuso|Dan]] eventually went on to defeat him. Spectra later jammed the system that allowed the [[Vexos]] to transport to [[Vestal]] and then went to [[Klaus von Hertzon]]'s mansion in search of the Brawlers. Finding only [[Klaus]] himself present, the two exchanged remarks, and Spectra left. [[Helios MK2]] wanting revenge on [[Cross Dragonoid]], Spectra beamed Dan up into his ship and challenged him to a brawl. However, Dan was victorious once more. Afterwards, Spectra and Gus promised to accompany the [[Resistance]] to the [[Vexos]]' palace. Spectra seems to have a change of heart, referring to Dan as his friend in thanks for enlightening him. He later goes to the Command Bridge and talks to Gus about an anonymous source that gave him information. He reveals shortly that by using data on Bakugan evolution, he planned to bring out even further power from within the Bakugan.
After the party arrived at the [[Mother Palace]], Spectra stated that the [[Resistance]] was on their own in shutting down the BT System. Spectra and Gus then appeared in front of [[King Zenoheld]] and the rest of the [[Vexos]]. After being accused of several treacheries, he warned [[King Zenoheld]] to stay away from the [[Resistance]]. Something Spectra did not plan for by making this venture, however, was the inevitable defeat of Gus when the ''"lapdog"'' challenged [[King Zenoheld]] to avenge his master. After approaching his father, [[Clay Fermin|Professor Clay]], Spectra offered him to join him in exchange for the complete Bakugan DNA. Professor Clay refused and said that he didn't even consider Spectra his son anymore. Afterwards, Spectra soon formed a temporary alliance with his rival [[Dan Kuso]] to avenge his fallen comrade, as the [[BT System]] was getting in his way of creating the [[Ultimate Bakugan]]. Although the duo had [[Battle Gear]] within their arsenal and [[Prince Hydron]] had been defeated, they still lost to [[King Zenoheld]] due Professor Clay's activation of the final level of the trap field they were standing upon.
After the [[Pyrus#Legacy|Pyrus]] [[Attribute Energy]] was absorbed and the [[BT System]] began to activate, Spectra helped the [[Resistance]] launch a full-scale evacuation of [[New Vestroia]] using his ship to transport all of the Bakugan to Earth. However, [[Shun Kazami]] speculated that Spectra was only helping for his own purposes (Spectra desires to create the [[Ultimate Bakugan]], but if all the other Bakugan were destroyed by the [[BT System]], his [[Ultimate Bakugan]] won't be so "ultimate"). When time began to run out and the [[Resistance]] decided to bail out while they still could, [[Helios MK2]] left Spectra and confronted [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]] about staying to evacuate the remaining Bakugan. The two then decided to head off and destroy the [[BT System]] together. After [[Cross Dragonoid]] evolved into [[Helix Dragonoid]] by absorbing the [[Attribute Energies]], [[Helios MK2]] and Spectra once again became Dan and Drago's rivals before leaving [[New Vestroia]]. Spectra soon challenged Dan to a final battle to see who was ''"Number One".'' He, however, lost and admitted he should ''"be working with the best instead of against the best".'' Thus, Spectra and his [[Helios MK2]] joined the [[Resistance]].
Spectra removed his mask and outer coat, happily reuniting with his sister [[Mira Fermin|Mira]] and reverting to the name of his original persona, Keith Fermin. It was also revealed that Keith had begun to miss his partner [[Gus Grav]], and how Keith had obtained his [[Battle Gear]] was found out. Keith decided to get Dan and Drago a [[Battle Gear]], but to do so, he needed to engage Dan in battle again in order to test if the [[Battle Gear]] in question was right for Drago's body. He put his mask on once more, becoming Spectra yet again. He then challenged Dan and Drago in [[Bakugan Interspace]], finalizing [[JetKor]] as Drago's [[Battle Gear]].
Spectra and [[Infinity Helios]] return in ''[[Interspace Under Siege]]'', having received Marucho's distress SOS call and arriving in [[Bakugan Interspace]] via a [[Dimension Tunnel]]. He reveals that he and [[Helios]] had to change to [[Darkus#Legacy|Darkus]] in order for [[Helios MK2]] to evolve into [[Infinity Helios]]. He then assists the brawlers in helping to rid Bakugan Interspace of the [[Chaos Bakugan]].
In ''[[A Hero Returns]]'', [[Zenthon]] appears but [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]] couldn't control him and, because of that, attacks all the Brawlers' Bakugan, included [[Infinity Helios]]. Spectra seems disappointed and sad about Dan's attitude and leaves the interior of the [[Bakugan Interspace]].
In ''[[Unlocking the Gate]]'', Spectra and [[Infinity Helios|Helios]] go to [[Gundalia]] on the [[Vestal Destroyer]] and help the Brawlers defeat the [[Chaos Bakugan]], [[Mag Mel]] and [[Razenoid]] for good using the [[BakuNano]] [[Bombaplode]]. He then leaves with Helios to go back to [[Vestal]], telling Dan to contact him anytime.
