Description
A mystery to many, a man destined to roam the earth with a wonder to who he is, The Phantom Stranger is one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Answering to a higher calling that has him wonder the earth, battling the forces of darkness of the supernatural and guides other heroes in impossible missions, he continues to wonder the world and discover his very being.
No given origin of The Phantom Stranger is considered definitive. He origins remain unknown, even more so than The Joker, but unlike The Joker there are four possible origins: 1.One tale postulated that the Stranger was a fallen angel who sided with neither Heaven nor Hell during Satan s rebellion and thus condemned to walk the Earth alone for all time. This is also backed by The Word who said that the Phantom Stranger was a fallen one.
2. Another proposes the Stranger was originally a private citizen during biblical times and was spared God's wrath. An angel was sent to deliver him from divine wrath. After questioning God's actions, he commits suicide. The angel forbids his spirit from entering the afterlife, reanimates his body and condemns him to walk the world forever to be a part of humanity but also forever separated from it. He then discovered his divine charge, to turn humanity away from evil, one soul at a time.
3. In a variation of the Wandering Jew story, he was an adult family man named Isaac with a wife (Rebecca) and boy at the time when Jesus Christ was a small child. When King Herod sent his army to kill all small male children (in an effort to slay Jesus) the army slew his son and wife. Blind with anger, he spent the next 30 years in a rage against Jesus. As Jesus was being tortured, Isaac bribed a guard to assume his role in whipping Jesus. Jesus then sentenced him to walk away from his home and country; to be errant until Doomsday. Eventually, his misplaced rage expunged, he spent the rest of his time helping society, even declining God's offer to release him from his sentence.
4. The last was a proposal that the Stranger is a remnant of the previous universe. At the end of the universe the Phantom Stranger approaches a group of scientists studying the event, warning them not to interfere in the natural conclusion of the universe. The story concludes with the Phantom Stranger passing a portion of himself to a scientist, the universe is reborn, and the scientist from the previous universe is the Phantom Stranger in the new universe

Whatever his origin may be, he has seen events within the DC Universe much his vengeful counterpart The Spectre. Both represents to the will of God. Specter is the hand of vengeance, while The Spectre is the hand of God's wrath, Phantom Stranger is the being who represents the guidance of his destiny. Both have parts to play.

In the DC Unlimited, The Phantom Stranger was foretold of the Apokoliptic Future that awaits the earth. To combat this, Phantom Stranger was pushed from his advisory role and was given permission from The Presence to help aid the heroes further. Believing that it would take more than just aiding heroes, there would have to be enlisting allies to unite against this Omega Regime. Allying himself with Metron, Phantom Stranger guides the Infinity People in a supportive role as he gathers heroes from eras in time, to save the universe from an otherwise bleak future.

Enigmatic, yet extremely powerful the Phantom Stranger is a hero who walks the fine line between man and ghost. He is a hero who is cursed with the burden of not knowing who he truly is. But he will atone for his sins through aiding the Universe's greatest heroes
