Fantomex is the name of a superhero associated with the X-Men. Fantomex first appeared in New X-Men #128 (August, 2002) and was created by Grant Morrison and Igor Kordey.

The character initially comes across as a mix of Fantômas and Diabolik but this is all revealed to be misdirection, as he is an escaped experiment from the Weapon Plus Program.

Fantomex resembles the titular character of the Italian comic book Diabolik, whose film adaptation was released as Danger: Diabolik, Diabolik's lover being named Eva. The character of Diabolik is loosely based on the character Fantômas, the subject of a series of early-20th century French detective thrillers and a popular Mexican comic book adaptation, whose name is more directly reflected in Fantomex's own name.

Since Morrison's run the character has made sporadic appearances in Weapon X #23–25, Mystique #20–21, 24, the Dark Reign: The List – Wolverine one-shot and in Uncanny X-Men #519 onwards as part of the "Nation X" storyline.

Fantomex has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
