Phantom

The Phantom is a title that has been held by numerous men over the ages. The first was named Lance Abbott, who served the role for nearly a hundred years until he gave the role up to Jason Parker.

Lance Abbott
Lance Abbott had led a normal life until he was savagely tortured and wounded by an underground cult that had amassed a large vat of ectoplasm in order to create a body for a witch-form. The ruined body of Lance Abbott fell into the vat and fused with the ectoplasm, which healed him and gave him certain abilities such as intangibility, near-invisibility and strength. After his transformation, he came into contact with hunters Carrie and Rob Kanowski and his new life had begun. Lance's second life soon pulled in his best friend Owen Locke. The two men became integral players in an effort to defend their world from an invasion from a reverse, evil dimension called Sorgoht. Lance disappeared for six months into an endless haunted forest to hunt for a land of wisps and when he and Owen were reunited after two years apart they were able to end the invasion with the help of Carrie, Rob, Mabon, Alan and Norman Rigel.

Jason Parker
High school senior Jason Parker was well liked by most of classmates because he was popular and athletic. However, Jason was traumatized when he was kidnapped by a vagrant who muttered incoherently about the dying flesh held captive by the immortal essence. The mind of Lance Abbott had waned as his body slowly came apart but would not let him die. The bum ties up Jason and tortures him but cutting off parts of his body and carving him up all while apologizing. Jason is screaming and nearly passes out when the stranger cuts himself and presses into Jason. The old man disintegrates and an ethereal goo transfers itself into Jason's wounds and heals him. The teenager becomes the next Phantom and quickly learns that his abilities are more than just the fun they seem to be, and that there is a responsibility that comes with it.
