Fictional Character Biography
According to Team Fantomen
Kit and Heloise, the children of the 21st Phantom constantly fight about who is to be the next Phantom, and their father has expressed his hopes in them both. In "The First Mission", Old man Mozz has a precognition about them both swearing the Oath of the Skull after their father goes missing. There, Kit wears the Skull Ring and Heloise wears the Ring with the Good Mark.
According to Marvel
The three-part The Phantom miniseries produced by Marvel Comics presumably features a future, adult version of Kit Walker, the son of the current Phantom. Notably, there is no mentioning of the daughter of the current Phantom, Heloise, alhtough the Phantom appearing in the miniseries gives his daughter the same name.
The 22nd Phantom is regarded as the grimmest of the line, changing the Phantom costume to a much darker purple and fighting viciously and violently, although he never killed. It is not known what caused Kit to become so angered, but it is assumed that it has a lot to do with the death of his father at the hands of General Bababu.
Kit first came to prominence as the 22nd Phantom during the Kataba Mining scandal in which the company tried to gain permission to mine the land of the Ituri tribe. The company was denied permission, however General Bababu, who had returned to Bengali and was behind the mining operation plans, had the jungle Chiefs killed so their voices of protest could not be herd. Kit exposed the truth and exiled Bababu from Bengali.
Kit upgraded the Phantom costume so that it is made from body armour. He also included a number of electronics into the costume including, but not limited to, infer-red lenses in the mask and a small computer in one of the wrist bands.
The 22nd Phantom seems to work alone. The Bandar tribe and Guran are still fiercely loyal to him and he requires their assistance from time to time.
According to SyFy
He was born as Kit Walker, then his parents were killed in a car crash and he was adopted and renamed Chris. Years later, old friends of his father contacts him and makes him assume the mantle of his father. He reluctantly agrees, though make a totally new version of the traditional Phantom suit.
He has also a love interest in a paramedic named Renny.
