| "Space Phantom" is a generic name for the warped and misshapen servants of the time-travelling villain, Immortus. The beings that Immortus transforms into Space Phantoms are any of the beings that happen to wander or otherwise become lost in the dimension of Limbo, a dimension outside of time itself. Immortus traps such individuals who, due to the very nature of Limbo, soon begin to forget their former lives and change into long-forgotten, ghostly time-beings. Immortus further conditions them into servants who can perpetuate his schemes and manipulations of historical events. So complete is Immortus' conditioning that the shape-changing Phantoms can assimilate anyone, even to the point of torture and escaping notice of even mind-readers. |
