Scott Valentine: Kit Walker, Jr., 24th Phantom

Quotes 

• 24th Phantom : What's the big hurry, Guran? I still had at least a hundred meters to fall. You told me this kind of work was supposed to be exciting.

  Guran : Maybe there is a way I can make it up to you.

• Steele : After that, my partner went home to work on the African miracles, I was still a crime-fighter, though not as fast as I used to be. Which would not have been so bad, except, Maximum invented Biots. And Biots cannot be tricked by my illusions. So I thought it was time to move on to something else. I turned my talents to making defensive weapons and other devices for your father the 23rd Phantom. But when he died in the Sector Zero train crash, I... retired completely.

  24th Phantom : [snaps his fingers]  You built my phase-suit! And my power cuffs. All this equipment!

  Steele : Yes, but your father never had the chance to use the latest versions I sent him.

• Heloise Walker : I see we have a visitor, from the past.

  24th Phantom : Aunt Heloise, you'll never believe who this guy is!

  Steele : [they smile at each other for a moment]  Heloise.

  Heloise Walker : [as he kisses her hand]  It has been a long time since Paris.

  Steele : Ah, but your beauty is such that none would guess a single day has passed since last we met.

• 24th Phantom : Uh, I don't want to stop this walk down Memory Lane, but Steele said the Phantom is it danger?

  Steele : I'm afraid the Phantom is in danger precisely because I not only walk down Memory Lane, I own it.

• 24th Phantom : Nice suit.

  Steele : A good tux never goes out of style, my boy. But didn't I tell you to wait in the garage?

  24th Phantom : Would my father have waited?

  Steele : No. He didn't have any sense either. That is why we were friends.

• 24th Phantom : Hey, no offense, but we'll need more than magic to get this old junker past that particle-canon.

  Steele : As I've told you, I've added a few modifications. Hero, activate Phantom mode

  [the car converts into a more technologically-advanced version] 

  24th Phantom : O-ho-ho, a *few* modifications?

• 24th Phantom : [flying Hero in Phantom mode]  Not bad for an antique.

• 24th Phantom : Scanners indicate no lifeforms remain in the mansion.

  Steele : [sadly]  Only ghosts.

• [last lines] 

  Sagan Cruz : Now just tell me one thing. Has there always been one Phantom, or are you...

  Guran : The Phantom is The *Ghost* Who Walks. The Man Who Cannot Die. He was, he is, he will be. As long as injustice walks in this world.

  24th Phantom : Maybe if you knew for sure, the Phantom would be just like anyone else. A little mystery makes him stronger. A little mystery... and a little magic.

  Steele : [listening from the cruiser with Heloise]  I couldn't have said it better myself.

  [creates a flower and offers it to her, they lean in closer]
