Ghost Detective

Ghost Detective

Walter Kane, now know only by the alias BANDURA, is an agent of Lucifer and Hell, brining justice to the wicked and punishing those who deserve it. He exists now only as a judge, jury, and executioner for his eternal master.

However, before he was Bandura, he was Walter Kane a [New Orleans] detective. Walter was skilled at his job, almost too skilled as a matter of fact. His wife always told him he needed to work less but his drive to solve crimes and put criminals behind bars tickled him in a way that very few other things could. Looking back on it now Walter can tell he was taking out his rage built up from years of abuse at the hands of his family growing up in the 1950s. He could never quite live up to his father's expectations, but that was no reason to take it out on his wife Maggie so he took it out the only way he knew how: on street scum.

Regardless, in 1989 his past came back to haunt him and his time on this Earth was cut short when he was killed by some of the very street scum he was trying to put away. However, Lucifer saw that Walter Kane was too angry to die and offered him a choice to be his eternal servant and delay giving his soul over to the devil because they both knew that was where Walter was going to end up. So, Walter took his deal and then proceeded to take vengeance on the men who killed him. Once Walter got his vengeance he was going to visit his family he had left behind. However, Walter observed them from a distance and determined it wouldn't be right to expose them to the thing that he had become. From that day forward he would refer to himself only as Bandura.

For the next 24 years, Bandura traveled the globe looking for people to punish in the name of Lucifer. He met many various individuals during this time, making him the well connected and expert paranormal investigator he is today. He has had quite a few adventures with members of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agents of the Sanctum Sanctorum, the Fantastic Four, and his old trusted pal Logan.

However, after Daredevil's spontaneous murder Reed Richards reached out to Bandura to send him into the future to help solve the case as soon as possible, for fear Richards would be the next to die. Reed knew that Bandura could not die by natural causes so he could have Bandura solve the case and wait for a backwards time machine to be created so that he may travel back to the exact moment he left in order to give Reed the information he needed, and prevent the death of a countless number of much needed heroes.
