- This article is about the original black-clad Toon who acted as an inspiration for the Blot. For other uses of the word "Blot," see Blot (Disambiguation).
The original Phantom Blot is a hooded criminal mastermind and the archenemy of detective Mickey Mouse in Mouseton, he first appeared in 1939 in the comic strip serial Mickey Outwits the Phantom Blot.
The character served as the main inspiration for the Blot in Epic Mickey, and at one point, were even meant to be the same character before the Blot evolved into its own separate entity. For a long time during the game's development, the Blot was still referred to as "Phantom Blot," and foreign translations for the game still used the "Phantom Blot" name.
In the 2019 crossover comic story "The Blot and the Blob", the comics' Phantom Blot met the Epic Mickey Blot after messing with an artifact that opens gateways to alternate dimensions.
Trivia[]
- He is not to be confused with the dark cloaked figure that appears in an early version of the "Mickey Arrives in Wasteland" cutscene, as that would be the Mad Doctor in his "raincoat" from his original short film appearance.
- The Phantom Blot had also made an appearance in the House of Mouse episode, "Where's Minnie?" as well as an episode of DuckTales, "All Ducks on Deck". When the Phantom Blot made his debut in the rebooted universe of DuckTales 2017, the series' version of him was shown to possess glowing green eyes, likely in reference to the Epic Mickey blot.
