Finally, Kit confronts Vandermaark, who it turns out is a morally questionable man with a streak of cruelty and who deliberately tipped the Brotherhood off to Kit's foster parents' location in order to entice Kit to become the Phantom.
Immediately after the failure is revealed, Singh is executed by the other board members of the Brotherhood for incompetence. Kit manages to save the diplomat as the Phantom, and in the wake of this, Rhatib Singh orders the mole in the Phantom team (who has been holding Renny and her father at gunpoint to force the Phantom to allow the diplomat to be murdered) to kill them, but the team manages to subdue the mole. Kit races against time to stop brainwashed people (including a press photographer, a Secret Service agent and an EMT) from assassinating a diplomat who has an uncanny ability to bring nations to peace, and the only man who can do so to the Middle East and whose death would spark wars (and thereby increase the Brotherhood's revenue). Kit eventually finds and eliminates the facility which handles the broadcasts, but not before the Brotherhood transmits the necessary commands to the people needed to make their master plan a success. However, the task is not so easy as there is a mole in the Phantom team, and the Singh Brotherhood attempts to assassinate the police detective father of Kit's new love, Renny.
Wearing an updated Phantom uniform that gives him added strength and speed, Kit's first mission is to stop Singh and figure out the Singh Brotherhood's plans for a new technology they have developed named "Flicker" (which enables them to brainwash people through specially planted cable TV set-top boxes to complete specific tasks). He quickly encounters the Singh Brotherhood, now led by the murderous and arrogant Rhatib Singh.
Now going by his birth name of Kit Walker, he begins training to become an expert in martial arts and combat, and emerges as the 22nd Phantom to battle evil.
The Bpaa Thap team consists of a bunch of scientists, various paramilitary specialists, Director of Field Operations and close ally of the Walkers Abel Vandermaark, and Guran, a native Bangalla woman who quickly befriends Kit. He is sought out by Bpaa Thap ("Jungle Patrol"), the group founded by the 1st Phantom which has evolved into an "international covert intelligence and law enforcement agency" headquartered in the jungles of Bangalla (the fictional small island nation in the Indonesian archipelago). Shortly afterward, Chris's adoptive parents are murdered by hired assassins of the Singh Brotherhood, the long-time antagonists of the Phantom for over five centuries. Law student and parkour traceur Chris Moore is shocked to learn that he was adopted and that he is actually the son of The Phantom, a legendary crime-fighter and defender of the innocent, a role that has been passed down from father to son in the Walker line for centuries after the 1st Phantom's father was murdered by pirates.
