Talk:Phantom Stranger

message: Note: The image called :Image:Black_Orchid%2C_DC%2C_1974.jpg is the cover of Phantom Stranger #32. Despite the title, it doesn't show Black Orchid, but it does show the Phantom Stranger. I don't think there's room for another image in this article at the moment, but if anyone feels different... --Paul A 03:50, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another Phantom Stranger image available 

message: I loved the origin of the Phantom Stranger. 4 very different stories that make no definitive conclusion. In fact, the cover for "Secret Origin" is looks inspired by the works of MC Escher.

thread_title:  Origin 

message: *This article makes no mention of his old romantic interest, the blind psychic Cassandra Cross, his ally/enemy Tannarak, or his enemy the demonic sorceress Tala (recently seen in the Justice League Unlimited show) all major characters in his original comic series.
*Nor does it mention that the perception of The Stranger as invincible is a new concept; in fact, the reason he often teamed up with other heroes (such as the Justice League) is that he did not possess enough power to combat certain menaces (such as the gods of ancient Mu) by himself.
*There was a Phantom Stranger miniseries in the 80's that made it clear that the Stranger was an agent of the Lords of Order (they even take his powers away when he refuses to serve them, rendering him mortal.) Of course, this might have been rendered out of continuity by now due to the various reboots in the DC Universe since then. Wilfredo Martinez 20:52, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: A few notes

message: I reviewed the comic and saw only one Phantom Stranger. Was it a typo that said "Phantom Strangers gathered the last of the magical beings ..." Of course, if there were only one Phantom Stranger in the multiverse, that would be good, too. And completely unknowable, like the man himself.

thread_title: Infinite Crisis #6

message: Had he been a grown man when Jesus was born, based on life expectancies, he would have been dead by the time Jesus was 15. Few people made it to thirty years of age.

message: Hey, wait a minute. If they are comics, then it is not animation, anymore than a movie based on a book is a book.

I changed the word "drawn" to "originated". Just thought it described the idea better and the first title mentioned, New Frontier, was drawn by Darwyn Cooke who got his start in B:TAS before moving into comics.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.172.168.183 (talk) 21:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The Phantom Stranger appears in animated forms in the following comics:???

message: The first sentence in the "Character Biography" subsection "A stranger..." reads, "In his earliest appearances, the Phantom Stranger would prove supernatural events to be hoaxes." I have read reprints of two stories from his 1950s series (one in a 1974 100 page super-spectacular formatted issue of House of Mystery, the other in the late 1980s book/collection The Greatest 1950s Stories Ever Told, and this is not true of either. The incidents were genuinely supernatural in both cases. Anybody care to dispute that this line should be revised, to say that he was little more than a host/narrator there?
