Phantoms, originally known as Zulian Melatarians, are a species native to a planet in the edge of the Rao System before being banished to the Phantom Zone by Kryptonians.
History[edit source]
| “ | The Zulians were able to overwhelm the planets they invaded so easily because the stronger the Zulians got, the quicker the victims turned. | ” |
The Zulian Melatarians originated from a dark planet on the outskirts of the Rao system where they were forced to flee and seek a new home planet for repopulation. However, their method of populating is infecting the planet's inhabitants by turning them into minions known as Progenies. The Kryptonians then stopped them and imprisoned them in the Phantom Zone where their diluted powers, which no longer allowed them to multiply, made them the perfect "prison guards" at the Phantom Zone.[1]

Powers[edit source]
| “ | When the Phantoms attack, first they do so psychically, paralyzing their prey with misery. Then they strike using their venomous talons. After a short incubation period, the victim's life-force leaves the body and migrates to the Phantom's nest. | ” |
