History[]

Kit Walker Jr. is the son of Kit Walker Sr., the 21st Phantom. Kit Jr. was reluctant in becoming the next Phantom, and always thought his sister, Heloise, should become the 22nd Phantom as she was first born. However, the Phantom mantle had always been passed down to the eldest son of the previous Phantom, and Kit eventually reluctantly succeeded his father in the role.

He married a local journalist and together they started a charity career to help out the citizens of Bengalla. Tragedy would strike however when his wife began to expose the violent actions of the dictator of the state, causing the complete execution of not only his family, but his entire staff, whom he also cared about deeply. Taking up the mantle as The Phantom once again, he vowed to take down whoever did this horrible crime and ended up righting unrelated wrongs along the way.

This Phantoms' personality is darker than most incarnations of his character, as he is willing to kill his enemies, but still shows mercy and compassion when needed. He is a heroic and kind soul who has dedicated much of his life to helping others, such as rushing into the World Trade Center during 9/11 in order to help out whoever he could, and when he delayed his quest of vengeance to save a woman from her would-be rapist and later took down a ring of child-traffickers.

Notes

  • His name in the canon Phantom stories is actually Christopher, with Kit being a nickname. However, as this is never mentioned in the stories published by Dynamite Entertainment, we can only assume Kit is his real name.
  • The Phantom was created by Lee Falk, first appearing in February 1936, making him one of the oldest characters adapted by Dynamite Entertainment, along with the original Green Hornet and Kato who debuted a month earlier, and the Shadow who debuted in 1930.

Trivia

  • This character is technically an adaptations of Kit Jr. rather than any Phantom, as he is the son of Kit Sr. Many other adaptations of Phantom stories similarly use Kit Jr. as the main character.
