Phantom

Phantom was a character I put together because of a desire to have a lone-vigilante sort of character. I was inspired a lot by a "What If?" storyline where Daredevil had killed the Kingpin, ended up dead himself by the end, and had the Kingpin's estranged son take over the role of Daredevil-using tech in the mask to simulate the hypersenses. So I figured this could be applied to a costume in general; solid black tights with a solid black full mask with red eye lenses. I would eventually use a lot of the ideas I had for this character for a City of Heroes character, including the general look.

Equipment: Phantom wears a black bodysuit, with a partial white overcoat; this suit is a cybernetic suit, and it gives him his powers. Firstly, his red lenses give him Incredible infravision, and gives him Monstrous protection for his eyes. Next, it raises his strength to the latter level. Finally, he has the power to phase at Incredible rank.

He is also known to use a utility belt. So far, he has been revealed to use a set of smoke bombs of Remarkable density smoke and flash grenades of Excellent flashes. He can have up to six grenades of any combination. He usually uses three of each.

Other Abilities: Davison is a skilled journalist, and also is trained in martial arts B.

Contacts: Paul has the inventor Pamela Hylassman as a contact, as well as contacts in the Washington Chronicle newspaper. As Phantom, he also can rely on help from DCPD Lt. Calhorn, who often cooperates with the hero.
