8th Phantom

Wiki Link for list of stories:

Years Active:

1700-1717

The 8th Phantom may be the most complicated with different wives in the Team Fantomen and Lee Falk worlds and 2x different deaths written by Lee Falk. We have spent the most time trying to fit and make sense.


Team Fantomen has the 7th marrying Heloise of Hanta but Lee Falk clearly has her marrying the 8th. This contradiction is due to Lee Falk including dates when Heloise married her husband - we would normally suggest Heloise marries the 8th but that also contradicts both Lee Falk and Team Fantomen stories. For the sake of making everything fit - we suggest the 7th Phantom marries Heloise.


The next problem is that the story "Fourth Son" also contradicts both Team Fantomen and Lee Falk stories. While it is a story enjoyed by a lot of phans, as it contradicts everything and cannot be fit into established lore, we suggest ignoring it.


Ingrid is the wife of the 8th who he met before he swore the oath. Ingrid followed him to Bangalla.

Details of Death

According to Lee Falk, the 8th Phantom died of a viper snake bite while laying a path in the great swamp. There is also a death sequence recorded in the "Fourth Son" Lee Falk storyline which again contradicts everything.


According to Team Fantomen, the 8th Phantom sacrificed his life for a princess that was captured by Captain Blood. he was then forced to walk the plank and shot in the back. He survived long enough for Ingrid and the future 9th Phantom to say goodbye to him.


We recommend going with the Team Fantomen death, he could have been near or close to death by the viper bite.
