Phantom Pain

Phantom Pain



Kathleen MacKinnon, aka Phantom Pain, is a member of the Allied Angels, a team of young women who fought on the Gauntlet City homefront during World War II. Kathleen was caught between life and death when, upon visiting her mother at a Solomon Defense facility experimenting with ghost bullets, she survived a devastating explosion. Her mother disappeared, presumed dead. Kathleen was taken in by the sister who run St. Therese's School for Girls. In the meantime she discovered that whatever had happened to her in the explosion gave her a strange connection to the afterlife, with dark visions; ghostly powers of telekinesis, vitality absorption, and spectral transmutation; and the creepy Dr. Anatos intent on tracking her down. Overall, she was left with a sense of slowly-encroaching Doom.

Fortunately, Kathleen befriended the Allied Angels at St. Therese's and was welcomed onto their team, particularly by Silver Swan.

Phantom Pain was a PC in Jim Crocker's Masks game in June 2019, played by Leah Sargeant. She returned in Jim's November 2019 series, and then again in Alexi Sargeant's June 2020 entry in the Gauntleteer is Missing crossover.
