Zorro may not fly, shoot lasers or wear armor, but the DNA of the modern superhero runs directly through him. The secret identity. The hidden cave. The double life. The dramatic entrance. The symbol. The fight against corruption. The wealthy man who uses privilege to defend the powerless instead of exploit them. If that sounds familiar, it should. Zorro helped lay the groundwork for what generations would later recognize as superhero storytelling.

Before Superman soared through the skies or Batman brooded in the shadows, there was The Phantom—a masked, purple-suited crusader whose legend spanned continents and centuries. Today on Tony's Superhero Saturdays, we celebrate The Phantom: The Ghost Who Walks, the jungle warrior who fought injustice with grit, myth, and a legacy carved across generations.
