Professor Fenton

Professor Fenton was a mad genius with plans of world domination. He built a time machine in his castle, which he used a variety of ways. For instance, he sometimes banished his enemies into the past. The Ghost caught on to his plans, and managed to rescue a number of his victims from prehistoric times. The Ghost was unwilling to destroy the time machine because more victims were still trapped in various time periods. Fenton also used the time machine to transport himself and a handful of his henchman into the past, in search of riches, relics, and allies. He attempted to make alliances with a number of legendary figures, including Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Morgan le Fay, and Zeus. He gained possession of relics, such as the spear of Diana the Huntress. He also briefly posed as King John of England to collect the ransom for King Richard, The Lionheart. He usually attempted to impress historical persons with the modern weapons of his men, but his men usually ended up being slaughtered. Fortunately, he seemed to have a small army working for him. They monitored his progress and communicated with him through an electronic monitor. Fenton himself usually carried a handgun or an “electric pistol”.
