Spectra Phantom (スペクトラ・ファントム, Supekutora Fantomu^?), also called by his real name Keith Fermin (キース・フェルミン, Kīsu Ferumin^?),^[​1] is a major character in Bakugan Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia and returns in Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge. He was the son of Clay Fermin and is the older brother of Mira Fermin. His Guardian Bakugan is Pyrus Helios MK2 (who becomes Darkus Infinity Helios in Mechtanium Surge) and his Bakugan Trap is Metalfencer.

In the first half of New Vestroia, he was a major villain and Dan Kuso's main rival. During this time, he was the leader, strongest member, and Pyrus brawler of the Vexos.

Early into the show, it is revealed that he is the long-lost Keith Fermin (キース・フェルミン, Kīsu Ferumin?) His pursuit for power and obsession with creating the strongest Bakugan to rule over Vestal, a vision he shared with Helios, put him at odds with not only the Resistance that Mira led, but eventually with the rest of the Vexos themselves causing them not to trust him.

At the end of the season's first half, he is labeled a traitor by the rest of the Vexos, causing him and his loyal aide, Gus Grav, to become free agents. Though they continue to clash with the Bakugan Battle Brawlers Resistance to obtain the Perfect Core's energy from Drago, they eventually become allies as they fight their common enemy, Zenoheld.

He returns in the first arc of Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge. In his quest to become a stronger Brawler, he has become a Darkus brawler and Helios has been transformed into Darkus Infinity Helios. The two are the last to join the season's Battle Brawlers and help stop Mag Mel and the Chaos Army.

Spectra also appears in the video game Bakugan: Defenders of the Core in his New Vestroia outfit, serving as the game's main antagonist and final boss. While Zenoheld appears as the overarching villain of the game.

Spectra Phantom

Spectra is cruel and uncaring, serving as an enigma for a majority of Bakugan: New Vestroia. This causes those affiliated with him to constantly contemplate the villain's wants, desires, and 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 and desiring his Helios to become the Ultimate Bakugan. He is confident, and 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 Guardian 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 shows Gus Grav "true power." He is also unafraid to make threats or even take hostages, as seen when Spectra threatens Dan with Runo's life. Despite his great cruelty, however, and no matter how much of a greedy traitor he may be, Spectra is not without his more "human" emotions, either, as he still feels connected to Mira and even begins to miss Gus when he is believed to be dead at Zenoheld's hands.

He also does the right thing from time to time, aiding Dan in evacuating New Vestroia when the threat of the newly activated BT System arises along with previously helping Mira free Ace, Shun and Marucho in Beta City. All in all, however, Spectra is only loyal to himself, as he betrays the Vexos to pursue his own goals and refuses Dan's several offers to team up. The loss to Dan Kuso in their final battle finally causes Keith Fermin to see the error of his ways. While Spectra Phantom is no longer Keith's main identity, Keith does put on the mask from time to time after joining the Resistance, especially in battle. While Spectra now fights only for the Resistance and is more than willing to protect Mira without hesitation, he still retains some of his antagonistic self's mannerisms, particularly his menacing grin and ruthless tactics in battle.

After he entered the Vexos Motherpalace, Spectra calls Zenoheld an "old man" and he also believed that Zenoheld was an even bigger fool than his son Hydron. However, he was willing to help Clay leave the Alternative behind and start a family again. In, Mechtanium Surge Spectra still retains his love for fighting and his ruthless battle tactics. But does all that to aid the brawlers against the Chaos Army and Mag Mel. He felt upset with Dan's new attitude saying he was not the same person who led him out of the darkness but would often arrive to aid the brawlers in their journey. His love for fighting also had not stopped as he felt fighting to save the earth from Mag Mel's threat sounded fun.
