Biography

Louise Grant

In their earliest recorded case, the Blonde Phantom and Mark Mason were investigating diplomat Signore Korte and his alleged ties to international spies and his desire to steal the United States' plans for the atomic bomb. Although they foiled Korte's plot to obtain the plans, they could not get the evidence needed to implicate him in the attempted theft. Later, the pair travelled to South America in order to prevent a chemical weapon created by escaped Nazi scientist Heinz Rheint from falling into the hands of spies seeking to use it against the United States and its allies. (All Select Comics v1 #11) Returning to the Untied States, the Blonde Phantom and Mark Mason discovered a plot by Korte's agent False Face to steal plans for a radio control atomic bomb, while at the same time redirecting the only prototype on a course to New York City, hoping that the United States would abandon further development then sell the plans to an enemy nation. False Face took the place of Colonel Ryder, and while the Blonde Phantom went to rescue the real Colonel, she arrived back at the base and revealed the spy. However, she was too late to stop him from loading Mark into the missile and launch it. Louise flew after the rocket and rescued Mark, who had programmed the missile back to its original target, where it exploded harmlessly. The Blonde Phantom also assisted Mark in investigating how spies were getting a hold of sensitive government information. The Blonde Phantom soon uncovered a secret spy cell working out of La Glamour beauty parlour and were using hypnosis to get secrets from the wives of high ranking military officials. The Blonde Phantom lured the spies into a trap, but their leader died of poisoning before he could reveal Signor Korte as their employer. (Blonde Phantom Comics v1 #12)

Returning to the United States, Blonde Phantom followed Mark to Hollywood to investigate threats against the life of actor Ken Chalmers, who is the star in a remake of the film Mister Stranger.
