1st Phantom

Wiki Link for list of stories:

Years Active:

1536-1566

Lee Falk wrote that the first Phantom married two different women (Christina and Marabella). Team Fantomen have him marrying Marabella who was mentioned first and most by Lee Falk. We recommend sticking to Marabella as the wife of the first Phantom and mother of the second Phantom.


The first and second Phantoms had a difficult relationship. After Marabella left the Deep Woods to rule Maravilloso she took the 2nd Phantom with her. Eventually the second Phantom wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps which saw the start of his training and a great relationship between them and the start of the tradition of the role being passed father to father.


Received the Skull Ring by Paracelsus. Lee Falk mentioned once it was given to the Phantoms by jungle kings. It is accepted by most to use the Paracelsus origin as lore.
