Phantom 2040

 

Kit Walker is the 24th person with that name.  He has no idea about his ancestry, since his mother never told him.  They no longer live in Bengalla, but in Metropia, formerly known as New York City.  The world is rather forlorn, and many corporations try to strong arm the government into doing what they want.  Wait, what year is this happening?  Anyway, Guran shows up to have Kit fulfill his destiny as the 24th Phantom.  Kit is reluctant, but eventually takes over and battles many weird foes.The Phantom is one of the first US costumed heroes.  The strip, created by Lee Falk, debuted in 1936 and is still running in many papers.  The Phantom is still very popular in Australia to this day.  Here in the US he is known, but not a top tier hero.  This 1994 cartoon series was relatively successful, since it ran two seasons.  It has a unique look and does follow most of the Phantom's established mythology.  It has never been released on home video, but you can watch the entire series on YouTube.  It is 35 episodes long.
