Kit Walker

Origin

The 21st Phantom and wife Diana Palmer had two children: Kit Walker and Heloise Walker. As the tradition goes, the boy will continue to take up the mantle of The Phantom as per the oath taken by several generations in the lineage. Kit Walker had been trained by his father when he was young with several skills that may help him later in his life when he becomes the new Phantom.

Creation

Kit and Heloise walker, the children of The 21st Phantom was created by the original creator, Lee Falk in the early stories where, as children, the grow up in the jungle with their father and the pygmy bandar tribe.

With the introduction of The Last Phantom series by Dynamite, Scott Beatty has considered Kit Walker to be now a grown up person and his father, the 21st Phantom is no longer around and probably long dead. A terror organization kills his wife and son that leads him to avenge them by taking over the mantle as the guardian of the eastern dark. Although he became The Phantom, the reasons to become are somewhat different from his forefathers. Kit now has more than the oath – to avenge the death of his loved ones.

Character Evolution

However, with the death of wife Radhi and Mosi, Kit has taken up the mantle of The Phantom to fight crime and injustice once again! The 22nd Phantom is probably the last one in the lineage.

Currently he wears a new purple suit and has an additional ability that no other Phantoms till date possessed – invisibility! With the click of the skull mark on his belt he can turn himself invisible and back again with another click. This is one amazing feature he obtained when he disrupted a terror organization Krieghund that tried to initially kill him and his family to take over Walkabout Foundation for malicious intentions.

The organization had created several soldiers with this technology. All of these eventually will be killed by Kit and then the technology destroyed by explosion of the entire plant that was producing it. Possible making the suit that Kit has being the only remaining one with that technology.
