In his first appearance on 1939's "Mickey Mouse outwits the Phantom
Blot"(sadly unpublished in Greece) the Blot is said to be working as a
spy.Is it explained who does he serve?When does he reappear?Later,starting
from Scarpa's stories, he is an indepented criminal searching for wealth.Is
it explained why he stopped being a spy or if he ever stopped?A daughter of
him,Phantom Brat,appears.When did he have her?Is she wearing a suit like her
father's?Is she to be his heir?There are a hand full of stories where Mickey
Mouse and the Phantom Blot face Phantom Blot's impersonators.Has he ever
used an impersonator of himself instead of facing him as a rival?The Phantom
Blot of the series Mickey Mystery is a criminal mastermind never captured by
Mickey Mouse and the police.He is deadlier,more inteligent and far richer
and more capable than his regular version.In the storie "Oil for One,And One
For Oil!"(D 92033)he uses his control of an Oil Company to take over
Mouseton's economy.When his pan is ruined he says he lost just a small part
of his money and he can take over another city.This Blot never reveals his
face.Is he the same as Gottfredson/Scarpa's Blot?
The Phantom Blot is a character I am interested in but there are many
questions about his life and only a few answers.Any ideas?
