=== Backstory === It is the year 2040, and environmental disasters and the economic Resource Wars of the early twenty-first century have had catastrophic effects upon the Earth's fragile ecological balance. Ever-increasing polarisation of wealth, along with the development of humanoid, robotic "biots" ('''Bi'''ological '''O'''ptical '''T'''ransputer '''S'''ystems), have resulted in a social demographic that leaves the majority of the world's population scavenging in the undercity slums while a select wealthy minority live luxurious lives in exclusive, towering skyscrapers. The Earth's population continues to rise, but without the resources to support them or the jobs to sustain them, they are cast onto the streets of the over-urbanised [[Megacity|mega-cities]]. The megalopolis of Metropia, a reformed and renamed [[New York City]], is the world's most powerful city-state and within it are the headquarters of the world's most powerful corporation, Maximum Inc. Maximum's mass production of biots and its influence upon the world's corrupted leaders has allowed it to shape Metropia into a cold and metallic urban center, where technologically-advanced buildings and transport systems have replaced any natural plant or animal life. Maximum's chairperson, Rebecca Madison, driven by the violent death of her husband Maxwell Madison Sr. and a desire for revenge against the Phantom who she believes killed him, has plans to construct an impenetrable fortress called Cyberville where the elite wealthy can retreat once Earth deteriorates beyond hope of restoration. Maximum's hidden underground biot factories are illegally constructing Maximum's personal biot army, which Rebecca will use to guarantee the world's collapse so that she may literally take control of the world through Cyberville. Humankind's last hope for survival rests on a gigantic, hidden stretch of jungle twisting through Metropia's ruins and underground: the Ghost Jungle. It is here that Kit Walker discovers his true heritage: he is the 24th Phantom, sworn to bring an end to piracy, greed, and violence, a role passed from father to son for 500 years. Kit's father was killed with Maxwell Madison Sr. in a mysterious toxic train wreck, and now it's up to the Phantom to stop Rebecca Madison's plans of worldwide domination. Now, the world is the Phantom's jungle...because someone has to care.
