Phantoms of unknown numberings

Are these Phantoms really unknown in numbering? My impression of the Last Phantom, that I have got through reviews, is, as far as I can remember, that he is a version of the 21st or 22nd Phantom. Kings Watch has just been started to be published in Swedish so I cannot say anything for certain, but he may very well be an new take at the 21st. Legenderry also appears to have their own version of the 21st, since the covers appear to reveal a cyborg Devil.

Then, when we are into unnumbered Phantom, we have the case of the Phantom of 2157 in the Phantom 2040 (TV series) episode Down the Line. He claimed to be the Phantom of 2157 transmitting messages from the future, but turned out to be an impostor. Should such Phantoms be included? Karl MAN (talk) 17:28, 14 August 2015 (CEST)

Regarding Legenderry and Last Phantom, I don't know if the numbering is actually stated. They should be written about sometime however, regardless if it is as part of the 21st Phantom's article (and then can be removed from this template) or if we regard them as separate. KW Phantom is another character however, but I don't want to spoil the story for you more than that :) The Future Impostor could be given an article, and I actually considered adding headers for other people who have acted as the Phantom. We have both a bunch of impostors (See The Impostor (Sunday story), The Imposter, and The Black Carnation for example) and friends of the Phantom (Diana, Flame, The Black Phantom etc). But maybe that's too much for this template, and should be given a separate template or category instead. Andreas (talk) 21:43, 14 August 2015 (CEST)

I have read the KW sequel King: The Phantom, and there it is explicitly stated that the Kings Watch Phantom is the 22nd. I won't fill out the biography about him on the article for The 22nd Phantom just yet, I will let KW be published in Sweden first to avoid spoilers ;) Andreas (talk) 14:28, 17 August 2015 (CEST)
