History WesternAnimation / Fantomcat

The series centres on the character Phillipe L'Entrique Elan de Chanel, Count Givenchy and the Duke de Fantom, a masked [[{{Swashbuckler}} swashbuckling]] hero who thrived in 1699, in mortal combat with his nemesis [[AristocratsAreEvil Baron Von Skelter]] within his home, Castle Fantom. Phillipe was treacherously cast into a painting by the Crystal of Malevolence, a stone so powerful that it can change worlds, and became trapped for 3 centuries. As the years passed, the area around Castle Fantom became a bustling metropolis called Metrocity, a city submerged in crime rings led by the fiendish arachnid Marmagora. It's at midnight on December 31 1999 that Fantomcat is freed from his prison and joins up with Tabitha "Tabs" Wildcat, a stern feline detective who had grown up idolising Fantomcat, [=MacDuff=], a timid Scouse mouse who hates holes, and Lindberg, an indecipherable, acrophobic pigeon, to fight the evil that has grown in modern times.

* CoolGuns: The Monitor and Vile the Bluebottle have these, although Vile is rubbish at using his.

* {{Expy}}: Fantomcat has been called a cross between Franchise/{{Zorro}} and Creator/ErrolFlynn, with a dash of the French AntiHero Franchise/{{Fantomas}} for flavor, and a backstory that owes something to ''Series/AdamAdamantLives''.
