: '''Origin''': The alien who would become known as the Space Phantom was born on Phantus, a world whose people had mastered time travel before attempting space travel. For the Phantoms, a bellicose race engaged in endless civil wars, the invention of time travel devices caused massive changes in strategy. It was now possible to alter the course of battles by doubling back through time to either pre-empt an attack or add reinforcements to a defense. A battle soon became a constantly-shifting event, as opposing forces altered its outcome by causing reality to diverge to encompass ever-increasing numbers of new factors. Finally, at a particularly significant and massively mounted battle, so many divergences occurs that the local fabric of the space/time continuum briefly ruptured, generating an access point, or "hole" into Limbo. Just prior to this calamity, the Space Phantom, a military strategist of high rank, foresaw what would happen and escaped in a chronal capsule. The capsule, however, was damaged in transit and the Space Phantom was stranded in Limbo. There he encountered Immortus, the master of Limbo, who offered to free him from the timeless realm if he would bring Immortus subjects to study. To do so, Immortus granted the Phantom the ability to assume the form of virtually any being he encountered, thereby causing the being duplicated to be cast into Limbo where Immortus could then study him or her. Although the Space Phantom despised Immortus, he agreed to his terms and was dispatched to the vicinity of Immortus's home world Earth. The Space Phantom reasoned that if he could single-handedly defeat the Avengers, his people, once free of their temporal catastrophe, would have no problem conquering the Earth someday. However, when he attempted to dimensionally displace the Asgardian god Thor, he himself was dispatched to Limbo since his power could not overcome Odin's various enchantments on Thor. The Space Phantom slipped back to Earth through a magical interdimensional aperture created by Thor's half-brother Loki to send a mortal to Limbo. The Space Phantom then took the place of the wounded Madame Hydra as head of a splinter group of HYDRA who survived the destruction of the main organization. This deception was ended when the Phantom attempted to duplicate Rick Jones (who at the time was co-existing in the same body as the Kree Captain Mar-Vell). Unable to assume both forms at once, he was shunted back to Limbo himself. The Space Phantom remained in Limbo, with no means of escape, until Thor entered Limbo while attempting to make a journey through time. The Space Phantom enlisted the Asgardians' unwitting aid in freeing his planet from its dangerous temporal predicament. By depleting his hammer's time travel powers. Thor was able to push the planet Phantus out of Limb into real space at a point in time after its temporal catastrophe. The Space Phantom, however, has remained in Limbo, still subject to Immortus. | : '''Origin''': The alien who would become known as the Space Phantom was born on Phantus, a world whose people had mastered time travel before attempting space travel.
