Quote1 I anticipate your questions! It is true that Superman and I-- and Katar Hol-- died tonight! But when Azgore loosed the life-force that had been Count Crystal-- as I prayed he would in his fury-- I was able to make use of it myself!

You know my name! I am called the Phantom Stranger -- and the path we shall follow leads deep into that darkness... Quote2

--Phantom Stranger (New Earth)

Quote1 Man-- the eternal interloper, the bludgeoning builder of dreams-- is a creature discontented with the wealth that surrounds him! Fingers outstretched and grasping, he has intruded upon places he has little right to be-- his imprint is left on the bed of the ocean, his corrugated bootmark on the face of the moon!
