Bob Phantom

Golden Age Origin
Walt Whitney was a news reporter who wrote a gossip column called Broadway. It frequently made fun of law enforcement who failed to catch criminals and because of this Walt was unpopular with the police. However, he secretly was the crime fighter Bob Phantom, whose names came from a stage magician who did a great disappearing act. He was assisted by his girlfriend Jinx Friday who was also his secretary. Bob Phantom's powers included invulnerability and teleporting by disappearing in a cloud of smoke and then reappearing somewhere else.
