Space Phantom is a name given to a number of fictional characters in the Marvel Comics universe. The first appearance of such a being was in "Avengers" vol. 1 #2 (Nov 1963), they were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Fictional character biography

The Space Phantoms are the servants of Immortus, the Master of Time. For many years it was assumed that there was only one Space Phantom, but in the course of the Destiny War the Avengers discovered that there was more than one. During a journey back in time to 1873, a trio of Space Phantoms was caught impersonating the Gunhawks and the Black Rider.

Immortus traps individuals who become lost in Limbo, and due to the nature of that plane, they begin to forget their former lives and change into misshapen beings. Immortus conditions these into servants who can perpetuate his schemes and manipulations of historical events. The Phantoms can assimilate anyone, even to the point of torture and escaping notice of even mind-readers.

The first Space Phantom first appeared in "Avengers" vol. 1, #2, copying Giant-Man, Iron Man, and Hulk. During his battle with the Avengers, he attempted to copy Thor and was banished back to Limbo because his powers couldn't affect Asgardians. The Space Phantom was the cause of misunderstandings between the other Avengers and Hulk which led Hulk to quit the team (over comments and actions taken against him by the others).

The original Space Phantom is revealed to be disguised as Spider-Man in the "Beyond!" series.

Kurt Busiek used Space Phantoms and Immortus in Avengers Forever to explain a number of inconsistencies, such as The Crossing.

Powers and abilities

A Space Phantom can assume the form of objects or living creatures, temporarily shunting them into limbo until he resumes his natural form or that of another object or creature. Assuming the form of certain powerful creatures (notably when he attempted to turn into Thor in "Avengers" (vol. 1) #2) can result in the Space Phantom being forced back into limbo instead. While in the form of another creature, the Space Phantom gains all the abilities of that creature.
