I hope I'm remembering this correctly. If I'm not, please forgive me. I seem to remember a comics professional on a different message board a couple of years ago saying that you had worked out a great origin for The Phantom Stranger, and that if we ever asked you nicely, you might share it with us. So, this is me trying to ask nicely.

I've always been intrigued by The Phantom Stranger. When I was a kid, I always imagined him as Superman from years in the future coming back to help out during difficult times.........

Close...but no Superman.

Now THAT'S intriguing.

Indeed. Close? Supergirl? OK. Probably not.

I suddenly feel like I'm living that old joke: How do you keep an idiot in suspense? And I'm the idiot.

What if I offer you a bribe of milk and cookies to tell us?

Sorry, but I'd like to hold onto the idea for now.

There's probably very little chance of DC ever letting me write the Phantom Stranger, but...ya never know.

-- Uncle Rog

I understand. No harm in asking, I guess! I've always found the Phantom Stranger to be the most intriguing character in comics.

RS-

maybe sometime i can convince you to discuss your PS ideas here:

rob!

It's easy. Phantom Stranger was Cosmic Boy, then he became the Time Trapper, and then the PS after he got tired of being a bad guy.

Or has that been done before?

He's Kang or Immortus.....

Bruce Wayne?

Metron?

J'onn J'onzz?
