Ghost from Algol

Origin
Terry is a scientist working on a "spectroscope" with his assistant Ken. The spectroscope creates stellar rays. Terry wants to eliminate Ken, who is also Terry's rival for Nancy's affections. Terry sets the spectroscope on high. His plans to have Ken trapped in a burst of stellar rays backfires, and Terry dies instead. Terry's ghost is infected by a creature of evil from the planet Algol. The ghost from Algol hounds Ken and Nancy, on their way to Terry's home. The Ghost of Algol appears, causing them to crash their car. Ken is turned into a ghost, yet is able to save Nancy when she is trapped by the wicked spirits controlled by the Ghost of Algol in Terry's home.

Powers and abilities
The Ghost from Algol can turn immaterial and invisible at will. It can control malevolent spirits. It can also fly through space, taking the spirits it controls with it.
