History: Despite being both intelligent and handsome Alec Rois was ostracized in his youth by his peers, the women because he didn't have the money to own a car and the men because he was studious. So when he invented a teleportation device he decided not to share it with the world, but to use it to make himself rich as the costumed thief the Ghost, soon becoming a multi-millionaire as a result. His theft of classified documents led the government to call in Captain Atom and Nightshade to stop him.
Comments: Created by Dave Kaler and Steve Ditko.
The Ghost was called Alec Nois in his first appearance, but identified as Alec Rois in the subsequent ones. Charlton Bullseye#7 resolved this apparent continuity gaff by establishing Nois is his real name, and Rois the alias he assumed when he reinvented himself as a millionaire.
Along with Dr. Spectro, Ghost is one of the only Captain Atom villains to make more than one appearance, fighting the Captain in a total of three separate occasions before the series was cancelled.
