Fantomcat centres on the character Phillipe Lentheric Guerlain de Givenchy, the Duke of Fantom, a masked swashbuckling hero who thrived in 1699, in mortal combat with his nemesis Baron Von Skeltar (a sword-wielding caped Skeletoid alchemist). De Fantom was treacherously cast into a painting within the halls of his house, Castle De Fantom, and became trapped for centuries. As time passed, the area around Castle De Fantom became a bustling metropolis called Metro City, a city submerged in crime rings led by the fiendish arachnid Marmagora.

Influences

Fantomcat was influenced heavily by Zorro, Errol Flynn, and the time-lost approach of Adam Adamant Lives.

Characters

Fantomcat Fantomcat Western Animation TV Tropes

  • Duke of Fantom (voiced by Robert Powell) - The main protagonist of the series. A masked, swashbuckling, polite but fearless hero who joins the Detective Team after his release and is nicknamed Fantomcat. Fantomcat is naturally completely oblivious to the modern world and its various new technologies, which can hinder him and the detective team if not careful. Fantomcat has a sword called "Touché" which can respond to his beck and call, he can also turn invisible, hence his namesake to act like a "Phantom" when needed.
  • Tabitha "Tabs" Wildcat (voiced by Lorelei King) - A stern female detective and leader of the Detective Team. She is known as Penelope Wildcat in some dubs.
  • MacDuff the Mouse (voiced by Rob Rackstraw) - A timid member of the Detective Team, who hates holes.
  • Lindbergh the Pigeon (voiced by Jimmy Hibbert) - A member of the Detective Team who talks in garbled, blubbering language, hates heights and therefore will not fly.
  • Marmagora (voiced by Lorelei King) - The primary antagonist of the series. A hideous giant widow spider intent on dominating Metro City and leader of the evil forces below the city. She has a pet Carnivorous Plant called Gloria.
  • Vile the Bluebottle (voiced by Jimmy Hibbert) - A fly. Marmagora's right-hand man, who does not help her much but only follows her instructions and agrees with everything she says.
  • Baron Von Skeltar (voiced by Rob Rackstraw) - A sword-wielding caped Skeletoid alchemist who imprisoned the Duke of Fantom for 300 years and was summoned to the present day by Marmagora to finish his heinous conquest.
  • Vinnie the Vole (voiced by Jimmy Hibbert) - One of Marmagora's henchmen, who is always ready to help. Unlike Vile, Vinnie is actually quite smart.
  • Monitor (voiced by Rob Rackstraw) - an intergalactic space villain who talks like Shere Khan.
