	The religion of the Phantom Stranger (DC Comics)
		Given the vaguaries surrounding the Phantom Stranger's origins, motivations, cosmological status and personal beliefs, and in light of the character's own god-like powers, it is mostly meaningless to try to define the character in terms of specific real-world religious and denominational affiliations.
		The Phantom Stranger is a fictional character of unspecified paranormal origins who battles mysterious and occult forces in various titles published by DC Comics, sometimes under their Vertigo imprint.
		The story concludes with the Phantom Stranger passing a portion of himself to a scientist, the universe is reborn, and the scientist from the previous universe is the Phantom Stranger in the new universe (a recursive origin?)

		The origin of the being called the Phantom Stranger is unknown, though many varying and contradictory theories exist as to his beginnings and true nature.
		The Stranger first graced the adventures of the Justice League of America when he visited the JLA Satellite to warn the Leaguers of Felix Faust's diabolical invasion of Rutland, Vermont.
		It was always much simpler for the Stranger to alert the JLA to some forthcoming cataclysm than it was to use his own powers to handle the situation.

	The Phantom Stranger FAQ Part I (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Phantom Stranger is a character in comic books published by DC Comics, created in 1952 and relaunched for the Silver Age in 1969.
		However, there are mysterious limitations on when the Stranger is permitted to act directly; it is not even known whether these are self-imposed or the commands of a higher power.
		It must, however, be admitted that the Stranger-- unlike Dr. Fate, Etrigan, and the Spectre-- never directly confronted the primordial Darkness during the War for Heaven.

	Talk:Phantom Stranger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Phantom Stranger being the Wandering Jew is a problem as Arak met the Wandering Jew.
		Nor does it mention that the perception of The Stranger as invincible is a new concept; in fact, the reason he often teamed up with other heroes (such as the Justice League) is that he did not possess enough power to combat certain menaces (such as the gods of ancient Mu) by himself.
		Was it a typo that said "Phantom Strangers gathered the last of the magical beings..." Of course, if there were only one Phantom Stranger in the multiverse, that would be good, too.

		And, for that reason, the average middle class Scooby-Doo-loving, Nintendo-playing 13-year-old is not going to be able to empathize with the problems of the Phantom Stranger as he battles vast, unimaginable phenomena in the same way that they can understand Impulse's frustration at having to sit still in class.
		But Phantom Stranger is best used when he is not the focus of the story.
		Often, the Stranger is merely a plot device for anthology stories, focusing on normal people trapped in mystical situations.

	Batman/Phantom Stranger Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Publisher: DC In the mid-fifties, Phantom Stranger fought crime as a trench-coated, behatted figure who appeared more like a pulp hero than a wizard to ordinary people and solved a baffling puzzle usually by exposing magical trappings as trickery.
		With fl fedora shadowing his silver hair and haunting white eyes and fl cloak concealing a white turtleneck, plain, gold medallion and a mod dark suit--though I don't recall the Stranger ever succumbing to the evils of bell-bottoms, the Stranger became a powerful--but not omnipotent-- sorcerer who aided the JLA and other heroes.
		I found his Phantom Stranger somewhat sterile, but I think this is largely due to the Vertigo version now being touted by DC.

	The Hembeck Files!
		Maybe it's the somewhat risqué nature, maybe it's because the humor is so neatly structured (establishing statement, action, one-liner), or maybe the appeal lies in the ludicrous notion of the Phantom Stranger playing tonsil hockey with an unsuspecting passerby (which is more of Deadman's schtick, anyway).
		It's a little difficult to describe exactly what the Phantom Stranger's powers are, but that's pretty much par for the course for any of the mystical characters.
		Gaiman also used the Phantom Stranger in his 'Books of Magic' mini-series, positioning the Stranger as one of the four figures introducing Tim Hunter to the world of magic.

	SwanShadow Thinks Out Loud: Funky phantoms
		As for the Phantom Stranger, he was the focal point of one of mainstream comics' first furtive forays into the realm of the supernatural under the Comics Code.
		Introduced in 1952 but essentially abandoned after a brief six-issue run, DC Comics resurrected the Stranger (no pun intended) in 1969, just as DC and Marvel were beginning to flirt with the reintroduction of the horror themes that had twisted Wertham's and Kefauver's underpants more than a decade earlier.
		The Phantom Stranger remains unique among comics heroes in that his true identity has never been revealed, and his origin and powers (which are rivaled in the DC Universe only by those of the Spectre, who is supposed to be an agent of the Almighty Himself) have never been clearly defined.

		OK, those here who are familiar with my devotion to Aparo probably expected that from me, but the Stranger has some great things going for it that merit that opening compliment as far as I'm concerned.
		There are spooky stories in which the Stranger is little more than a narrator, horror, science fiction, Twilight Zone-ish crime, superheroics, and finally the start of an ongoing epic (satisfyingly packaged, for the most part, as stand-alone tales).
		Phantom Stranger was to a great degree a "night-time" book, and the coloring techniques of the time weren't the best for night scenes.
