After he got erased from the main timeline, an alternate version of him appeared to the heroes, explaining that there are multiple timelines, otherwise known as a [[Multiverse (Concept)|multiverse]].
===Appearance=== He is an old man with brown glasses, brown skin and grey hair. He has a grey mustache and beard.
===Personality=== He cares deeply about not altering the timeline, for it could possibly mean the end of the world. He is not afraid to admit that he is wrong, as he admits to Octavian that he and the other Protectors were wrong about Poptropica. He admits that he would like to change history for the better, but is wise enough to know that it can lead to disaster. Despite his good intentions, Spencer sometimes took drastic measures to maintain the balance of the timestream, which caused some of the heroes (specifically [[Mya]]) to question his methods. Spencer was eventually erased from the main timeline, but an alternate version of him appeared to the heroes and helped them on their journey. He taught them about the concept of a multiverse, and how it could be used to restore the lost islands of [[Planet Poptropica|Poptropica]]. Spencer is shown to be a thoughtful and intelligent character who is dedicated to maintaining the balance of the timestream and ensuring the stability of Poptropica. Despite his serious demeanor, he is also shown to have a dry sense of humor, and a somewhat mischievous streak. Throughout the graphic novels, Spencer serves as a mentor to the main characters, helping them to understand the dangers of messing with the timestream, and the importance of maintaining the balance between the past, present, and future. Despite his somewhat gruff exterior, Spencer is also shown to be a caring individual.
==Trivia== *He shares some similarities with [[Amelia]]: **Both love tea, and collect them from different islands. **Both collect artifacts from different islands as well. *He is referred to as the "Curator" by Mitch Krpata in an interview, and by the official Poptropica Twitter. ==Gallery== ===[[The Secret Society]]=== === Chapter 1 === File:The secret society pg 4.png|The Secret Society pg 4 File:The secret society pg 5.png|The Secret Society pg 5 File:The secret society pg 6.png|The Secret Society pg 6 File:The secret society pg 7.png|The Secret Society pg 7 File:The secret society pg 8.png|The Secret Society pg 8 File:The secret society pg 9.png|The Secret Society pg 9 File:The secret society pg 10.png|The Secret Society pg 10 File:The secret society pg 11.png|The Secret Society pg 11 File:The secret society pg 12.png|The Secret Society pg 12 File:The secret society pg 13.png|The Secret Society pg 13 File:The secret society pg 25.png|The Secret Society pg 25 File:The secret society pg 60.png|The Secret Society pg 60 File:The secret society pg 61.png|The Secret Society pg 61 File:Spencer makes tea.png|Spencer making tea File:Spencer Albright.jpg|They are the good guys File:Protectors control room.png|Spencer shows the control room File:Spencer explains poptropica.png|Spencer explains Poptropica to the trio File:Spencer explains poptropica2.png|Spencer explains Poptropica to the trio File:Aegis glows.png|Spencer freaking out!! === [[The End of Time]]=== ===Chapter 1=== File:The end of time pg 6.png|The End of Time pg 6 File:The end of time pg 7.png|The End of Time pg 7 File:Spencer Albright2.png|Confronting Octavian File:Different timelines2.png|Looks through Prism ===Chapter 9=== File:The end of time pg 78.png|The End of Time pg 78 File:The end of time pg 79.png|The End of Time pg 79 File:The end of time pg 81.png|The End of Time pg 81 File:The end of time pg 82.png|The End of Time pg 82 File:The end of time pg 83.png|The End of Time pg 83 File:The end of time pg 84.png|The End of Time pg 84 File:The end of time pg 87.png|The End of Time pg 87 File:The end of time pg 88.png|The End of Time pg 88 ===Chapter 10=== File:The end of time pg 89.png|The End of Time pg 89 File:The end of time pg 91.png|The End of Time pg 91 File:The end of time pg 96.png|The End of Time pg 96 File:The end of time pg 98.png|The End of Time pg 98 ===Chapter 11=== File:The end of time pg 99.png|The End of Time pg 99 File:The end of time pg 100.png|The End of Time pg 100 File:The end of time pg 101.png|The End of Time pg 101 ===Misc.=== File:DQSnIcyXUAAQRzt.jpg ==References== https://poptropi.ca/2022/05/22/lore-mitch/ twitter.com/Poptropica/status/938058454194941953?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E938058454194941953%7Ctwgr%5Ea907e0f2e1d0a0ba4f2a5efb658bff039695abd7%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpoptropi.ca%2F2017%2F12%2F09%2Flegendary-all-bright-sabers%2F [[Category:Elderly]] [[Category:Poptropica Graphic Novel]] [[Category:Deceased]] [[Category:Protectors]] [[Category:Grey Hair]] [[Category:Glasses]] [[Category:Scientists]] [[Category:Heroes]] [[Category:Curators]]{{Dialogue}} ==[[The Lost Expedition]]== {{DialogueText|Tell me, kids...}} {{DialogueText|...Do you ever want to see your home again??}} == [[The Secret Society]] == === Chapter 1 === {{DialogueText|Oolong tea!

But are you familiar with the Pao Dynasty?}}{{DialogueText|Um... no, never heard of it.|Oliver}}{{DialogueText|That's because it was erased from history!}}{{DialogueText|How can that be?|Oliver}}{{DialogueText|Poptropica is a group of islands that have come unstuck from their place in the proper timeline.

There's no way to prove anything he's claiming.|Mya}}{{DialogueText|You're right.

Most of them have tried to kidnap us.|Mya}}{{DialogueText|Believe me, we are not the villains. We are the Protectors.}}{{DialogueText|We have only one goal: to prevent people from meddling with history - people like octavian. That's why we have one of our members stationed on every island.

You’re telling us that as we travel island to island in Poptropica, we’re actually traveling through time?|Mya}}{{DialogueText|Yes and no.

So long as they don’t collide, each one eventually returns to where it came from and history continues as it should.
