{{nihongo|'''Keith Fermin'''|キース・フェルミン|Kīsu Ferumin}}, also known as {{nihongo|'''Spectra Phantom'''|スペクトラ・ファントム|Supekutora Fantomu}} is [[Darkus#Legacy|Darkus]] (formely [[Pyrus#LegacyGeneration 1|Pyrus]]) brawler. He is one of the main antagonists in the first arc of ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia]]'', one of the [[Vexos]] and served as the group's leader as its strongest member. His [[Partner Bakugan]] is [[Infinity Helios]] and his [[Bakugan Trap]] was [[Metalfencer]].
Keith is the older brother of [[Mira Fermin]] and the son of [[Clay Fermin]], the Vexos' lead researcher. His pursuit for power and obsession with creating the strongest Bakugan, a vision he shared with Helios, put him at odds with not only the [[Bakugan Battle Brawlers Resistance|Resistance]] that Mira led, but eventually with the rest of the Vexos themselves. At the end of the season's first arc, he is labeled a traitor by others, causing him and his loyal aide, [[Gus Grav]], to become free agents. Though the two continue to clash with the Resistance, they eventually become allies as they fight their common enemy, [[Zenoheld]].
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#LegacyGeneration 1|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]].

*He and [[Ren Krawler]] are the only former antagonists to eventually become one of six main members of the Brawlers.
*Of all the main members of the Battle Brawlers, Spectra is the oldest, being 21 in ''[[Mechtanium Surge]]''.
*Unlike in ''Bakugan: New Vestroia'', where his mask had only one visible eye, when he was a [[Pyrus#LegacyGeneration 1|Pyrus]] Brawler and a major antagonist in that season, Spectra's new mask in ''Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge'' has visible eyes on both sides.
*Spectra has many similarities to his spiritual predecessor [[Masquerade]]:
**Both have alternate identities (Spectra is a pseudonym for Keith while Masquerade is a separate identity within [[Alice Gehabich]]).
