How they woulda done super heroes in the days of the old testament

Spectre - Vision (Aarkus)

In which the spirit of vengeance and the right hand of the Abrahamic God in the DCU is paired with…an obscure Kirby/ Simon creation from 1940 that has only seen print a handful of times in the past 60 years. Some believe that two creators modeled the first Vision on the Spectre anyway.

Or should the Spectre be paired with the Living Tribunal, or some other omnipotent cosmic spirit?

Commonalities:
Both are otherworldly, ethereal creatures that deal swift justice to evildoers.

Differences:
Well, the Spectre has been more or less the DCU’s Yahweh for almost seventy years, whereas the Vision is utterly obscure (and from another dimension).

Alternate histories:

SP: A being from another dimension is transported to Earth in the 1940s, and briefly combats to Nazis and criminals. The Spectre encounters the likes of Batman and Aquaman during wartime before returning to his former plane of existence.

AAR: An immensely powerful, nigh-omnipotent spirit known as Aarkus inhabits the body of a mortal during World War II, and works alongside the Liberty Legion. Afterwards Aarkus acts as the most powerful being to associate with the super-heroes of Earth.

Red Tornado - Vision

Well, of course!

Commonalities:
Two androids, forever bemoaning the distance separating both from humanity. Both have connections to preexisting beings—the Tornado Champion and the original Human Torch—and have endured multiple destructions and reconstructions.

Differences:
Reddy mainipulates wind and air for offensive purposes; Vizh manipulates his density to become intangible or diamond-level invulnerability and can emit solar beams from his eyes. And Reddy was never married to another hero.

Alternate histories:

VI: A criminal scientist manufactures an artificial lifeform specifically to infitrate the Avengers. Called the Vision, the android rebels against his directive and becomes a trusted, if often easy to temporarily destroy, member. He becomes a companion to a woman and child, and briefly becomes a nearly ominipotent “elemental.” After the Vision’s original nature returns, he becomes an adviser to the Young Avenegers before returning to the original team; he briefly gains a truly human body before returning to an android form. Which is of course destroyed: his consciousness now resides in the Avengers headquarters mainframe.

RT: The Construct, an evil robot, manufactures an artificial lifeform specifically to infitrate the Justice League. Called Red Tornado, the android rebels against his directive and becomes a trusted Leaguer. Therein, he meets and enters into a controversial marriage with a female operative to named later. He is nearly destroyed, after which his consciousness resides in the League headquarters mainframe: he then attempts to take over world governments, after which he is dismantled and then reassembled in an emotionless state. Red Tornado regains his original nature and eventually rejoins the League, only to be destroyed in a conflagration that destroys the organization. Another iteration now advises Young Justice.
