History:
What little is known about The Phantom Stranger remains rumor and conjecture. His true identity forever unknown, it is said that the Stranger committed a great evil against the universe. For this crime he was brought before the Wizards’ Council and sentenced to walk the earth as a stranger to man, as a witness to what greed can do. The Phantom Stranger wanders the universe observing…and at times hearing a c all from a higher power to take interest in a soul for the greater good of mankind. These callings are a double-edged sword for the Stranger. Although he can remove one of the thirty pieces of silver he wears as a cursed necklace, he is also eventually forced to betray those that he encounters as penance.
Recently, The Phantom Stranger has taken a m ore active role in the universe, which some see as a harbinger of doom. These proclamations are furthered by several appearances by Pandora, who is part of the Trinity of Sin along with the Stranger.
