Occupation : Exterminator.....
The General: "What is your occupation sir?"
The Panther: "I'm a sort of pest exterminator."
The General: "And what type of pests do you exterminate?"
The Panther:  "The Human variety, gunmen, smugglers, killers, war-mongers - and kidnappers...."

 In Panel by Panel : an illustrated history of Australian comics (Cassell Australia, 1979), John Ryan wrote that

 "The Panther was another comic that capitalised on the immense popularity of The Phantom with Australian readers.  As a small boy, The Panther was left abandoned in the Congo after his parents had been killed by Mayzak warriors.  He was adopted by a band of panthers and as he grew to manhood he was initiated into a native tribe.  Because his pale skin hindered him in hunting and stalking, he took to wearing a fitted suit of panther skins to make him as dark as his fellow tribesmen. Whilst the early stories were set in the Congo, the character soon became involved in adventures all over the world. "

And he wasn't wrong there - Panther was set in Africa, Australia, the Pacific Islands, The United State of America, Italy, Poland, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, the Amazon, the Andes, and more! 

Our dark suited hero would often travel incognito as "Mr Smith"  - "a very old and noble name" as The General remarked in Issue no.8 -   dressed in a trenchcoat, fedora and polka dot ascot!
