Phantom Sphinx

Amron, an Egyptian general, was placed in a hypnotic trance by his father for 6,000 years, until his tomb was discovered by an expedition lead by scientist Dr. Salle. The Red Norton Bandits killed most of the expedition, and their leader Norton stabbed Dr. Salle in the back. Out of curiosity, Norton read the translation needed to revive Amron. Amron returned to life. The Egyptian general, instructed by his father’s spirit to fight evil, rescued an American reporter named Nancy Taylor from the treacherous Norton and took her to help the wounded Dr. Salle. Afterward, Amron, now known as the Phantom Sphinx, dealt out justice to the band of thieves. His powers included object transformation, species transmutation, making objects appear out of thin air, teleportation, and the creation and control of sandstorms. He also possessed a flying magic carpet, which he created using his powers.
