Ghost Rider Link:
-- He joined The Champions. (Champ 1).

-- At one point, he is out driving with Candy, and Ghost Rider (I) chases him down for no reason other than that he is upset. Ghost Rider (I) challenges him to a race, gives him a dose of Hellfire and puts Angel (I) in the hospital. This prompts The Avengers to chase Ghost Rider (I) down. (AV 214)

-- Real Name: En Sabah Nur
-- He was born nearly five thousand years ago in Egypt and is a massivly powerful mutant with superhuman strength and the ability to alter the atomic structure of his body at will.

Mini Profile
-- His alive name: "Shocks" Marley.
-- He was a stock-car stunt man who worked for Sonny Tremont's Auto Circus, and dressed in a costume he found in Haiti, which a "voodoo witch-woman" claimed could bring him back from the dead. "Shocks" Marley had a crush on one of Sonny Tremont's employees, Nora, but she was in love with Sonny Tremont's partner, Ned Pearson. Marley sabotaged Ned Pearson's stunt car one day, and he was killed in a crash while performing for an audience. Sonny Tremont, Nora, and Pete (V) (their mechanic) testified against him, and he was sentenced to death.

Ghost Rider Link:
-- Marley continued to wear his uniform (a costume he found in Haiti, which a "voodoo witch-woman" claimed could bring him back from the dead) up until his death in the electric chair. Immediately upon his death, he rose again as The Apparition, (apparently his own ghost) and set out to gain revenge upon Sonny Tremont and his friends. On his first attempt, he was opposed by Ghost Rider (I), who, as Johnny Blaze, was working for Sonny Tremonts. Blaze was driving Pete (V)'s car, and while he was able to survive the assault as Ghost Rider (I), The Apparition believed Pete (V) was dead. Blaze decided to impersonate Sonny Tremont for his auto circus, and make The Apparition believe he had killed Sonny Tremont as well just as he had Pete (V). It was successful, but The Apparition caught up to Nora, and slew her. Ghost Rider (I) and The Apparition fought, and The Apparition was finally slain when Ghost Rider (I) drove his motorcycle over his body, dissolving him into dust. (GR1 57)

Mini Profile:
-- Real Name: Darren Bentley (Sometimes refered to as One Man Zodiac)
-- A crimelord who became involved in the Zodiac (I) crime cartel, and was hand-picked by Cornelius van Lunt (the group's founder and financer) for the position of Aquarius (I) (his own sign). He was based out of San Francisco, California. As was the policy of the group, Aquarius (I) ruled the entire organization when his sign dominated the calendar.

Ghost Rider Link:
-- Darren Bentley suffered from a rare lung condition, which had been exacerbated by of Taurus's space trap (during their last struggle). His doctors gave him one year to live. Darren Bentley screamed out to the Heavens that he would revenge himself on Cornelius van Lunt and all who had contributed to his coming death. Yes, he screamed to the Heavens--but his shouts were heard elsewhere! Under direction from Mephisto, the demon Slifer approached Darren Bentley and offered him the combined power of the Zodiac for one year. However, at the end of the year, his soul would be forfeit. Darren Bentley gladly accepted. (Ghost Rider II#7(fb))

-- Darren Bentley, using various incarnations of the Zodiac, began to attack and either destroy or steal Cornelius van Lunt's holdings. His efforts brought him into conflict with the Ghost Rider (I) and Stuntmaster. Darren Bentley changed back and forth several times and held his own against Ghost Rider (I). However, when Darren Bentley assumed the twelfth and final Zodiac form, Slifer reappeared and told Aquarius (I) his time had come. Darren Bentley argued that it had only been a few weeks, not a whole year, but Slifer revealed that it had been a whole Zodiacal year. Mephisto appeared and claimed Aquarius (I)' soul. (Ghost Rider II#6, 7)

Mini Profile:
-- Real name: Zachary Drebb
-- Member of criminal group Zodiac (I). He was skilled at devising clever gimmicks, such as a gas which would cause the tires on James Rhodes' truck to explode, and he made use of the Zodiac Field . He and his agents also wielded laser guns. Aquarius (II) psychologically unstable, and had to remind himself to control his temper when angered.

Ghost Rider Link:
-- There is no direct link to him. This is listed to remove confusion from the original Aquarius (I), who Zachary Drebb took over for after Darren Bentley's Death.

Mini Profile:
-- Real Name: Abdul Qumar.
-- Seeking shelter in an underground tomb in the eastern desert of Egypt, Abdul Qumar discovered a magic scimitar and flying carpet that had belonged to a Thirteenth Century ancestor who had been a champion of his people. Abdul Qumar decided to carry on his ancestor's tradition battling evil as The Arabian Knight.*

Ghost Rider Link:
-- He helps Ghost Rider (I) defeat The Water-Wizard and Sheik Hurani in Saudi Arabia. After the battle, Blaze needs to get back to the USA ASAP (in order to win a bet with Flagg Fargo) and so the The Arabian Knight lets Blaze use his magical flying carpet to make it back in time and win the bet (GR1 62).

-- A young lady whose house Blaze stops by at after being attacked by giant Vampire bats. She claims to be terrified of them, but later proves to be in league with them and their leader Dalton Cartwright. She perishes in a fire caused by Ghost Rider (I).(GR1 48).

Mini Profile:
-- He is the son of Zeus, monarch of the Olympian gods, his wife Hera. Ares was worshipped as the god of war in ancient Greece and Rome. However, with the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire, Zeus allowed the worship of Olympians to die out, and Ares could no longer act as patron god of warriors. As a result, over the ensueing centuries Ares grew increasingly dissatisfied with Zeus's rule. He has three times attempted to conquer Olympus, twice in league with his uncle Pluto, god of the Olympian underworld; but each time he has been thwarted through the efforts of his half-brother Hercules and his Earthly allies.*

Ghost Rider Link:
-- Essentially, Ares is the reason why The Champions (who Ghost Rider (I) is a member of) were formed. The attacks on UCLA, which promted the 5 heroes to unite, were an attempt to find Venus so she would marry him. (Champ 1).

Mini Profile:
-- Real Name: Grover Raymond.
-- Member of criminal group Zodiac (I).
-- He wore a ram's horns upon his head, and would ram his opponents in battle. He often carried a Star-Blazer (a pistol which could fire energy blasts). While possessed by Lucifer, his body was charged with ionic energy, granting him superhuman strength which enabled him to lift 5 tons.*

Ghost Rider Link:
-- There is no real link to the character but in issue #7 of Ghost Rider (I) (in a flashback), he was sent to prison with the rest of the Zodiac (I), except for Taurus, who managed to avoid a sentence.** (GR #7)

-- A southwest state in the USA.

-- One of two security guards (the other was Gus Utermohle) at Delazny Studios that refused to let Blaze in to see the Stunt-Master. (GR1 13).

-- He doesn't like Blaze and constantly gives him trouble. (GR1 21).

-- Man on the street whose friend notices Blaze walking by. (GR1 56).

Mini Profile:
-- Ruler of a branch of Hell.
-- He possesses powers to be expected of a minor player in the lords of Hell. He leads an army of demon-servants, who do his bidding. He also rules the lost souls who have entered his realm of Hell. He can project blasts of mystic energy and has a limited ability to manipulate the minds of others. He can drain energy from others. He is immune to disease and aging. While he has definite power, he can be injured by the power of other demons, such as Zarathos, and he is certainly no comparison for the power of Mephisto.

Ghost Rider Link:
-- He sought to make a pawn of the Ghost Rider (I)/Zarathos in his intended campaign of terror against the Earth. To this end, he sent Tabicantra to manipulate him so that Asmodeus could enslave him. However, Tabicantra eventually turned against Asmodeus, who was forced to send VZarr-Than and several other demons to try to finish the job. Tabicantra sacrificed herself to destroy the demons, and Blaze was spared from his intended fate. (GR1 53)

-- Asmodeus sent another of his minions, Rzh'arr, to Earth in another plot against Ghost Rider (I) involving his replacement of one of Blaze's friends, Cynthia Randolph. Rzh'arr succeeded in weakening Blaze and bringing him to Asmodeus's realm. Asmodeus attempted to steal some of the power from Ghost Rider (I) and make him his slave. However, the Ghost Rider (I) burst free from his bonds and overpowered Asmodeus, causing him great pain with his Hellfire. Asmodeus sent the Ghost Rider (I) back to Earth rather than face further injury at his hands. (GR1 64)

-- Asmodeus journeyed to Mephisto's realm and attempted to convince Mephisto to relinquish control of thr Ghost Rider (I)/Zarathos to him. Mephisto saw through Asmodeus plot to gain Zarathos as a tool in his desired conquest of Earth. Mephisto set up a contest which separated Blaze and Zarathos, and challenged them to make it through a gauntlet set up by Asmodeus. If they made it safely to the portal back to Earth, they would be freed from each other. If not, they would be trapped in Hell, and Zarathos would become a servant of Asmodeus. Mephisto decided to make things more interesting for Asmodeus by mentioning a small penalty if he failed to stop the two from escaping. Unfortunately for Asmodeus, Blaze and Zarathos cooperated and made it through the portal (although Mephisto's treachery left them still bound together). Mephisto administered his small penalty to Asmodeus, which consisted of blasting him out of existence. (GR1 76)

Mini Profile:
-- One of Earth's foremost organizations of costumed superhuman adventurers dedicated to safeguarding the world from any threat beyond the power of conventional peacekeeping forces to handle. Founded several months after the incorporation of the Fantastic Four, The Avengers became the first superhuman team to be granted official government sanctions by the National Security Council of the United States, the General Assembly of the United Nations, and later by the international intelligence agency, S.H.I.E.L.D. Unlike the Fantastic Four, whose ranks have been restricted to Reed Richards and his experimental rocket crew (except for an occasional substitute), membership in The Avengers has been open and in constant fluctuation.*

Ghost Rider Link:
-- A lineup of Thor, Iron Man, Tigra and Captain America chase Ghost Rider (I) down because Ghost Rider (I) injured Angel (I) for no real reason. Ghost Rider (I) gives a good fight, but he gives in when Angel (I) confronts him and Blaze reasserts himself. Blaze refuses any help from the heroes, who then leave. (AV 214).

Mini Profile:
-- Full name: Azaziah Hornsby.
-- An ancient magician. He is considered by most people to be a harmless old hermit. He has lived for centuries thanks to a globe of power he stole a long time ago.

Ghost Rider Link:
-- He enlists Paul, Joe (I) and Al (II) to help him separate Ghost Rider (I) from Blaze. He does this because he is dying and needs mystical energy to renew his life force. He knows that if Blaze and Ghost Rider (I) are separated that they will grow weak enough for him to overwhelm them and take their energy for his own. However, Blaze destroys Azaziah, the Crimson Mage's globe of power, causing him to crumble to dust. (GR1 43-44).
