HistoryEdit

The Phantom is the latest in a line of crimefighters by that name dating back to 1536, when young Christopher Walker's father was murdered by pirates, prompting young Christopher to seek revenge. Swearing an oath to battle evil and injustice on the skull of his father's killer, he subsequently became the first Phantom, creating a legacy that would be passed down from father to son for the next twenty generations. The population of the region of Africa where he is based believe that there has only ever been one, immortal Phantom, hence his nicknames; The Ghost Who Walks and The Man Who Cannot Die.
