The inhabitants of the Lost City of Khefra descend from the ancient Atlanteans, survivors of the cataclysm that destroyed Atlantis. Thanks to genetic engineering with each new generation, the sovereign of Khefra is a more perfect and powerful being. Still, some disagreed with the form of government and managed to assassinate the royal family. A loyal servant managed to escape across the desert with Princess Khepri, the last in the royal bloodline. The servant died, but the baby managed to survive thanks to her gifts and she became a legendary figure in Africa, revered and feared as a goddess, known by the name of Fantomah.
Protector for some, scourge and punishment for others.
Her benevolent face is beautiful and luminous, her vengeful facet is the very face of death.
For decades she wandered the jungles growing stronger, until she was found by a Khefrite emissary who informed her of her heritage, and so Princess Khepri returned to her true homeland to reclaim her throne. Some time later, Fantomah joined Stardust to form the Sixth Column, with the mission of defending Earth from the evil Fifth Column.
POWERS & WEAPONS
She has great power, to the point of being practically able to alter reality at will.
When she unleashes her destructive ability, she takes on the appearance of a terrifying ghostly creature, with blue skin and ghastly features. Fantomah had a pet black panther that she had named Hasira ("furious" in Swahili).
