History:
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. He seems to appear most often to persons who are deeply troubled or confronted with some spiritual or moral dilemma. In these cases he has been known to offer advice or counsel, always letting the person counseled make his own decision as to his actions.

In cases where some supernatural or physical threat is involved, the Phantom Stranger has been known to take direct action. At these times, he often exhibits abilities that can be explained only by supernatural means.

Powers:
Just as the Phantom Stranger has often exhibited abilities that defy rational explanation, these abilities also defy any attempts at classification. They frequently seem to involve the manipulation of supernatural energies under the Stranger’s control. At other times, however, he had been heard to converse with alleged supernatural beings, pleading with them to intercede in a struggle in his behalf, or on the behalf of his charge. He is a formidable opponent, but can be overcome by greater supernatural powers and, if taken unaware, physical attacks. He possesses no superhuman attributes, such as enormous physical strength, flight, etc.; or at least, his innate abilities have never been manifested as such.
