Hero, the Phantom's great white stallion, is a constant ally in the Phantom's adventures. He is unusually brave, as his name implies. He is the first horse in the Phantom's experience who does not bolt at the scent of a tiger. He is also incredibly fast. Once he was stolen and made into a racehorse. The Phantom eventually rescued him leaving behind only the legend of the greatest racehorse who ever lived.

The Phantom acquired Hero in the course of an adventure. The horse was originally named Royal Hero, for he was the property of the Maharajah of Nimpore. When the Maharajah's daughter, Lakania, was kidnapped, the Phantom borrowed Royal Hero to go and rescue her. When they encountered a tiger, the Phantom was amazed at Hero's bravery and intelligence. The horse and Devil kept the tiger at bay by working together as a team, even though they had never met before. After the rescue was accomplished, the Maharajah gave the horse to the Phantom in gratitude.

Second to none in speed, courage and loyalty, Hero is, simply, the best horse in the world.
