Phantasmo spent 25 years in Tibet mastering the mystic secrets of the grand high lamas. He returned to America and become a superhero, chose the name Phil Anson as a secret identity. Phantasmo asked a bellhop called Whizzer McGee to watch his over body while he was fighting crime and later to become his assistant.

The duo then visit the Empire State Building and while there rescue an army officer. Once again, Whizzer watched over Phantasmo's body but it was taking to the morgue by mistake when other believed Phil to have dropped dead. Luckily, Phantasmo returns to his body just in time much to the shock of the coroner.

After their visit to the Empire Sate Building, after reading the paper they learn that Whizzer's Uncle Ben and Aunt Martha's farm located in Hudson Valley has flooded. Phantasmo and Whizzertake a plane to help flood victims in the area including the boy's mother and sister who were visiting the farm. Phantasmo discovered the flood was caused by an airplane bombing the dam at the nearby reservoir as part of a saboteur plot. After stopping the plot and dealing with the flood waters, Phil joins the McGee family on their plane trip home.

Later the pair flew out to Los Angeles to see Whizzer's cousin Jerry and while there Phantasmo discovered an underground sea cavern underneath Jerry's cliff-side manor where unbeknownst to Jerry an army of soldier from an unnamed Asian empire (most likely Japan but not named in the story) was unloading submarine and assembling aircraft & tanks for an attack. After interrogating Captain Oaku, Phantasmo destroyed their war machines and returned and saved Whizzer and Jerry from the crumbling cliff-side by taking the manor and picking it up a placing it safely elsewhere.

Phantasmo's abilities included astral projection where he was as solid as he'd been inside his body, super strength, flight, the ability to grow to enormous size, and whatever else the story required. His body was vulnerable to harm while he was outside of it. He paid Whizzer McGee, a bellhop in the hotel where he stayed, to watch his body while he was fighting crime.
