The Ghost

Origin

When Josh first became a criminal he could barely control his super power of becoming intangible, this lead to him being caught and sent to jail. There the gangs were prepared to fight over who got to control the super powered kid. Lucky for Josh Carmine came to his aid. He brought him into the “super-criminal community”. Carmine trained him, introduced him around, even loaned him money for a proper costume. All he asked was for a couple of points later when Josh became big.

And big he got. Josh became The Ghost, the world’s greatest cat burglar. Later he retired and became an architect always knowing at some point his past would come to haunt him.

Creation

The Ghost was created by Mark Millar and Leinil Francis Yu for their 4 issue series, Supercrooks.

Josh is also there when the team takes on Praetoria, but like the rest he is able to little against the cape.
