He was originally clad in an all-black hood & body suit, with a purple cape. but soon adopted an open faced cowl and red cape around the close of the 1939 Fair season. The Fantom was seldom displayed with overt powers, but demonstrated the ability to tamper with people's memories and displayed incredible strength in his initial appearance. He also used secret trap doors placed around the Fair. His first adventure showed an ancient book that indicated that the Fantom had lived in Iceland 1000 years ago.

| - This unnamed hero operated from underneath the 1939 New York World's Fair in an underground lab connected to an underground river. He guarded the Fair and fought those criminals and racketeers who threatened it. He later became known as "Fantoman." The Fantom was strong enough to bend gun barrels and also possessed great speed. He was also a skilled hypnotist and could tamper with people's memories. He was also very hard-boiled and quite willing to torture enemies to get what he wanted, dedicating a room in his hideout for a collection of medival torture devices. His activities quickly spread beyond the World's Fair.
- He was originally clad in an all-black hood & body suit, with a purple cape. but soon adopted an open faced cowl and red cape around the close of the 1939 Fair season. The Fantom was seldom displayed with overt powers, but demonstrated the ability to tamper with people's memories and displayed incredible strength in his initial appearance. He also used secret trap doors placed around the Fair. His first adventure showed an ancient book that indicated that the Fantom had lived in Iceland 1000 years ago. He was possibly the first comics hero with a subterranean headquarters. The Fantom of the Fair appeared in Amazing Mystery Comics until Vol 3 # 8 (Whole #24), Sept., 1940. In this final issue, he was called Fantoman. His adventures were reprinted in Amazing Adventure Funnies #1, June, 1940, and in Fantoman #'s 2-4, Aug.-Dec. 1940. Other artists on the series included Frank Thomas, Harry Sahle, and writer George Kapitan. The Fantom of the Fair was inspired at least in part by The Phantom of the Opera, as portrayed by Lon Chaney, Sr. A sound version of Chaney's POTO movie had been released in the 1930s.
