Answer: Protector of the Peace

The "Ghost Who Walks" and "Man Who Cannot Die" titles come from the fact that each Phantom's son immediately steps in to fill the gap after the death of his father, thus making the line appear unbroken as though one man has filled the role for 400 years. "Guardian of the Eastern Dark" comes from "The Phantom's" role in protecting "Dakk", a nearby kingdom from slavers and pirates over the centuries.

Answer: Guran

"Guran" is chief of the "Bandar tribe". The other names are those of former "Bandar" chiefs. "Guran" is a medicine man with an extraordinary knowledge of both modern scientific medical techniques and ancient jungle remedies, both of which have saved "The Phantom's" life on numerous occasions.

16. What is "The Phantom's" good mark?

The "Rope People" built the treehouse for "The Phantom". It sits a long way above the ground and is reached by a lift made from a basket attached to a huge boulder acting as a counter weight.

22. "The Phantom" has superpowers.

Answer: False

"The Phantom" is no ordinary man, but he does not have superpowers. He just has exceptional sight, hearing, intelligence, strength, reflexes, speed and agility. Nothing out of the ordinary.

23. Which of the following is not an event in the "Jungle Olympics"?

Answer: Archery with moving human targets

"The Phantom" established the "Jungle Olympics" as a means of keeping "the Phantom Peace" amongst the tribes of the jungle. A huge trophy full of jewels is the main prize. At the end of each Olympics, "The Phantom" challenges the winner of the games and, invariably, wins.

24. What are the names of Diana Palmer's mother and uncle?

Answer: Lilly and Dave

Lilly is Diana's ever-fretful mother, horified at the thought of her daughter living in a cave with pygmies. Dave is a former police commissioner and Lilly's brother.

25. Why is "The Phantom" "The Phantom"?

Answer: He swore "The Oath of the Skull" on the skull of his forefather's murderer to "devote his life to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty and injustice".

While all the other answers are definitely valid, they do not a "Phantom" make. There is one instance where the youngest son actually became "The Phantom". An eldest son still has to take the "Skull Oath" to become "The Phantom". Being born in a cave is something that has happened to the other "Phantoms" but does not make them "The Phantom".
