Line 4:
Lee Falk's (''[[The Phantom (comic strip)|The Phantom]]'') first comic series, ''[[Mandrake the Magician]]'' is his other contender for "first costumed [[superhero]] in the comics". It all depends on if you want to count a tuxedo, with top hat and cape no less, as a costume.
''Mandrake'' started publication in 1934, and
Educated in the mysterious ''Collegium Magikos'' in the Himalayas, Mandrake's main ability is the power to [[Master of Illusion|create any illusion]] he can think of in a target's mind, just by "gesturing hypnotically." He also has some [[Psychic Powers|telepathic abilities.]] Naturally, his illusion-casting powers make him the [[Magicians Are Wizards|world's greatest stage magician,]] and that is how he earns his living when he's not busy fighting the forces of evil.
