The manga series Hunter X Hunter was written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi. It appeared in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump from March 1998 until June 2006, during which the manga frequently made extended hiatuses. Within the story, we meet a terrorist group known as Phantom Troupe, and here, we shall look at the Strongest Members amongst them.
In the story, a young boy named Gon Freecss discovers that his father, who abandoned him when he was very young, is a world-renowned Hunter, a skilled professional specializing in such activities as locating rare and unidentified wildlife, finding treasure, exploring uncharted enclaves, or hunting lawless individuals. Gon embarks on a journey to become a Hunter and eventually search for his father. On his journey, he comes into contact with several other Hunters and encounters the paranormal.
Phantom Troupe group is also referred to as Spiders. The Phantom Troupe is one of the most infamous gangs in the world. It is made up of thirteen highly skilled Nen users, most of whom hail from Meteor City. To join the group, a person has to kill a current member and replace them with a tattoo of a twelve-legged spider with a number on it.
Here is a list of the Strongest Members In Phantom Troupe:
10. Hisoka Morow
The most powerful Nen user in Hunter x Hunter, Hisoka, lands at the bottom of the list because he is one of the most contentious members. His Spider tattoo is infamously fake, and he refuses to join the mission in Yorknew instead of going out of his way to subvert their aims. Considering loyalty is an essential part of the Troupe, Hisoka’s fickleness makes his membership questionable at best. This is something fans have come to expect from his mysterious behavior, which leaves them more confused than ever.
Despite his lack of morals and bloodlust, Hisoka has already proven to be one of the most powerful opponents well before the Spiders’ introduction. With his rare understanding of Nen, superhuman strength, and impressive intelligence, Hisoka is often the most dangerous enemy in the room.
9. Kalluto Zoldyck
Kalluto is the smallest member of the Zoldyck family and the Phantom Troupe, and his deceptively fragile appearance belies his ability to tear people apart. Though he thinks he’s the weakest Spider, he’s mastered some Nen techniques, developed his own Hatsu, and can spy on the other members of the Phantom Troupe without being noticed.
Kalluto’s attacks may be a graceful dance of fan and confetti, but it’s his paper that is sharp enough to sever limbs and strong enough to slice through steel. Although Kalluto is smaller and younger than the others, he’s already proven himself to be trustworthy.

8. Shizuku Murasaki
Shizuku has a strange ability called Conjurer, which is why people assumed she was a Specialist since she was known to use a magical vacuum cleaner (named “Blinky”) all the time. Shizuku, however, is adept at close combat, and her Conjuration-type Hatsu is versatile enough to solve problems both on and off the battlefield.
In comparison to the other members of the Phantom Troupe, she seems to have a great sense of battle, and she uses her Hatsu in a variety of ways to take down opponents.
7. Bonolenov Ndongo
6. Shalnark Ryuusei
A look at Shalnark shows that he should not fit in with the rest of the Phantom Troupe. He’s cheerful, responsible, and jovial. But, as the series progresses, it becomes clear that his jovial behavior is merely a pretense for his darker tendencies. As a killer, Shalnark is more of a puppeteer who destroys the victims of his manipulations.
A manipulator-type Hatsu user, Shalnark uses Nen needles implanted in a victim’s neck to control them remotely, just like a video game character through a phone. It’s a great technique for gathering information and espionage since he controls every aspect of the victim. It might seem that Shalnark is just like Pakunoda or Kortopi, who is strong but bad in close combat, but he has a trump card for one-on-one fights where he uses the needle on himself to enhance all his ability levels for some time, temporarily damaging his body and leaving him with no memory of the fight.
