One of the most cruel and powerful Singh leaders was [[Kabai Singh]], who ruled the Brotherhood from the underwater city of Krakatan. Not believing in the The Phantom, he was assisted by his nephew [[Achmed Singh|Achmed]] and protegé [[Sala]]. However, when the Phantom arrives in Krakatan, it eventually ends with its destruction, killing every Singh member in it with the exception of Kabai and Sala, who withdraw to a second base at Mount Trepnich. However - The Phantom is once again able to track them down, but Kabai captures him and is about to execute him. He is however interrupted as the Royal Air Force starts bombing Mount Trepnich, and the moment later Sala, in love with The Phantom, attacks Kabai and kills him. Most of the Singh pirates escapes the bombing though, but with their headquarter destroyed and their leaders dead, their power is broken.{{Storylink|The Singh Brotherhood (story)|The Singh Brotherhood}}

Ten years after the death of his father, the current Phantom learns about Gullique, his fathers belt and Rama, and he travels to the island. Eventually he is able to expose Rama as a Singh betrayer, but ends up in front of a execution squad. As he is about to be put to death, Rama, knowing that he will be killed by his former subjects, starts to blow up the island. A nearby naval vessel notes the explosion and arrives on the island, now in chaos following the explosion. The years of Singh rulership is ended, Rama is reportedly killed in the explosions, and the Singh pirates are once again destroyed.{{Storylink|The Belt (Sunday story)|The Belt}}

First appearance: "The Singh Brotherhood"
Created by: Lee Falk and Ray Moore


The Singh Brotherhood is a centuries-old criminal organization, and the arch-enemies of the Phantom. They made their first appearance in the very first Phantom story, "The Singh Brotherhood".

Fictional history

According to Newspaper stories

The Singh Brotherhood first crossed path with The Phantom line when they attacked a European ship in the mid 16th Century (1525, 1535/1536, or 1550). One sole survivor washed ashore and became the first Phantom, swearing an oath to fight piracy and cruelty everywhere, and the Singh Brotherhood in particular.

In the centuries to come Singh kept sailing the seas, harassing travelers. In about 1745 a Singh ship attacked a Spanish trading-ship outside the Bangalla coastline. Both sides suffers great loss, only a few men survive and both ships are destroyed. The survivors bury the saved goods on a golden beach, but gunfight follows, and all surviors died. Fifty years later, the 13th Phantom found a note written by one of the survirors and searched for the treasure, but the chests remained lost until the 21st Phantom finally found them. Buried Treasure

Over the centuries several Phantom's appears to have been killed while fighting the Singh pirates. Most notably, the father of the current Phantom, who is stabbed in the back by his informant, a Singh cabin boy named Rama who has betrayed the pirates by giving him the location of their ships. Prior to the stabbing, the pirates have suffered a great defeat as The Phantom put their entire fleet into flames. When returning, Rama tells the pirates, not aware of his betrayal, that he followed the Phantom and managed to kill him with his own hands. As a proof he brings the The Phantom's belt.

Following the apparent ultimate defeat of The Phantom, Singh makes Rama their king. With no ships left, Rama has the remnant of the pirates withdrawing to the isle of Gullique. With time, Gullique is completely overtaken by the Singh, now ex-pirates, made a haven for smugglers and it gains the reputation of being the most evil place on earth. However, a saying is born - "If The Phantom comes to Gullique, there'll be a double rainbow in the sky." The Belt

One of the most cruel and powerful Singh leaders was Kabai Singh, who ruled the Brotherhood from the underwater city of Krakatan. Not believing in the The Phantom, he was assisted by his nephew Achmed and protegé Sala. However, when the Phantom arrives in Krakatan, it eventually ends with its destruction, killing every Singh member in it with the exception of Kabai and Sala, who withdraw to a second base at Mount Trepnich. However - The Phantom is once again able to track them down, but Kabai captures him and is about to execute him. He is however interrupted as the Royal Air Force starts bombing Mount Trepnich, and the moment later Sala, in love with The Phantom, attacks Kabai and kills him. Most of the Singh pirates escapes the bombing though, but with their headquarter destroyed and their leaders dead, their power is broken. The Singh Brotherhood

Ten years after the death of his father, the current Phantom learns about Gullique, his fathers belt and Rama, and he travels to the island. Eventually he is able to expose Rama as a Singh betrayer, but ends up in front of a execution squad. As he is about to be put to death, Rama, knowing that he will be killed by his former subjects, starts to blow up the island. A nearby naval vessel notes the explosion and arrives on the island, now in chaos following the explosion. The years of Singh rulership is ended, Rama is reportedly killed in the explosions, and the Singh pirates are once again destroyed. The Belt

A small band of Singh Pirates raided ships and the Bangalla mint, pretending to be a crew of ghost pirates. They were operating from at Soviet submarine, which the Phantom infiltrated and ended their scheme. The Ghost Pirates

When the Jungle Patrol made a routine arrest after a bar fight, they discovered that the man they arrested was a Singh pirate. This led to a planned terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia, which the Patrol's Unknown Commander - the Phantom - could stop. Plutonium Pirates

According to Team Fantomen

The Singh Brotherhood was founded by Bor Singh. Throughout the history of the Phantom the Brotherhood has grown and evolved despite generations of the Phantom trying to destroy it. During this time the Brotherhood has evolved from a pirate gang into a world wide criminal organization which has recently set up a legitimate corporation as a front for their activities called "The Singh Corporation".

Known Leaders

Since Team Fantomen has produced far more historical stories than Falk and also awakened the Singh pirates in the present day stories, there are a much higher number of leaders mentioned in their stories. The leaders in the list below can be leaders of either the entire Singh organization, or just a smaller part of it.

According to Frew

The Singh Brotherhood, once a gang of ruthless pirates harassing Asian waters for centuries was believed to have been destroyed following the death of Kabai Singh, and the destruction of Mount Trepnich. However - years later they return, and begin to attack ships, eventually murdering the entire crew and every passenger on a cruiser outside the Bangalla coust. Among the dead are the niece and nephew of Bangalla's President Luaga.

The Phantom is able to track down the pirates, now led by Kabai Singh's son Kabai Singh, Jr., in their new secret hideout on Cloud Island. After a fierce battle, the Phantom corners Kabai Singh who blows up the remaining of the headquarter, killing every single Singh member. The Phantom merely makes it, presumably as the only survivor, but unknown to everyone Kabai Singh is washed ashore on a remote beach, beginning to tell the natives frightfully stories of a man called The Phantom, planning his revenge.

According to Dynamite

According to Dynamite Entertainment Phantom story of 2011 Jungle Rules Chapter 4: A Cave is Not a Home it was the Singh Brotherhood leader Pava Singh who killed Christopher Kitridge Walker, father of the 1st Phantom on 17 February, 1536.

Behind the Scenes

Starting in the 1970's, Falk began avoiding the spelling "Singh" of his Daily and Sunday stories, reportedly in order not to implicate that the Brotherhood originated in India, where "Singh" is a common last name. Instead they were referred to as the "Dingh", "Sanngh", "Sengh" or "Singgh" pirates. However no other producer has changed the name and the Daily and Sunday stories have since reverted back to Singh.

Notable Appearances

This list does not include appearances of the Singh Brotherhood in the short retelling of the origin of the Phantom - a passage which has introduced several stories through the years.
