From Wiki- Immortus traps individuals who become lost in Limbo, and due to the nature of that plane, they begin to forget their former lives and change into misshapen beings. Immortus conditions these into servants who can perpetuate his schemes and manipulations of historical events. The Phantoms can assimilate anyone, even to the point of torture and escaping notice of even mind-readers. The first Space Phantom is introduced in
The Avengers #2, where he assumes the form of
Giant-Man,
Iron Man, and
Hulk. During his battle with the Avengers, he first copies the Hulk, and battles Iron Man. He transforms into a flying insect to escape, but Iron Man continues to battle the Hulk. The Space Phantom attacks the Wasp in his insect form, and then transforms into Giant-Man. After fighting Iron Man, he takes Iron Man's form. The Space Phantom finally attempts to copy
Thor and is returned to Limbo because his powers cannot affect
Asgardians.
[12] Back to me:
This picture was my introduction to the Space Phantom, back when there was only one of them. There being many does make sense, though. It took over 100 issues of the Avengers for him to return to fight them.
