Mini Profile:
-- Real name is inapplicable but, he did go under the alias Frank in his human form.
-- Originally, the entity known as The Beyonder comprised all of the otherdimensional universe, called the " Beyond-Realm", in which he existed. The entity was entirely unaware of the existence of other beings until, several years ago, the atomic accident that transformed laboratory worker Owen Reece into the superhuman Molecule Man opened an interdimensional "pinhole" between the Beyond-Realm and the multiverse in which Earth exists. Through this gap The Beyonder observed the Earth for a number of years. The Beyonder was fascinated, since he himself was his entire reality, but each denizen of Earth was but a single entity that was part of the greater whole that was the multiverse. Hence, each sentient being on Earth, in The Beyonder's point of view was "incomplete," and strove to remedy its incompleteness. Hence, The Beyonder believed, the driving force of the minds of all sentient beings was desire; in other words, wanting to have or become something one is not. Indeed, now that The Beyonder realized that he himself was not all that existed, he saw himself as incomplete and felt desire.*

Ghost Rider Link:
-- He freed Zarathos (who, of course, was the demon bonded to Blaze's soul in the form of a Ghost Rider) from The Soul Crystal temporarily to test Spider-Man and see if the universe would be allowed to live for another day. This was all because of a bet with Mephisto. (ASM 274).

-- Big Daddy Dawson is a human ruffian. He could ride a Motorcycle and beat people up. He rode a big chooper, and carried a chain, with which he got good use when beatin' time came. He also carried a gun.

Ghost Rider Link:
-- Satan, in the form of the Witch-Woman, prepared to drag the Ghost Rider (I) down to Hell, when Motorcycle headlights showed up in the distance. Figuring he was saved (cops, saving you from Satan?), Blaze was very surprised to find out that it was a cycle gang. And Roxanne Simpson said, "NOOOO!!". Suddenly the devil wasn't scary anymore, because now he had to face a cycle gang. And not just any cycle gang, but Big Daddy Dawson's Ruthless Riders! And, of course, the Ghost Rider (I) couldn't use his fire powers or the Ruthless Riders's would know that he wasn't just wearing a costume. So Big Daddy Dawson picked Ghost Rider (I) up and threw him down. Then he pulled out his chain! Just when things looked bleakest, Ghost Rider (I) was saved by Satan/Witch-Woman teleporting him to Hell. Whew! Unfortunately, that left Roxanne Simpson alone with Big Daddy Dawson and the Ruthless Riders. "Dig the goodies he left behind!", said Big Daddy Dawson. "NOOOOO!" said Roxanne Simpson, and she took off. Big Daddy Dawson caught up with her and told her that now she had a real man to take care of her. (GR#2)

-- Big Daddy Dawson worked his magic, attempting to woo Roxanne Simpson, until the Son of Satan showed up. Big Daddy Dawson was not intimidated by the man who could shoot fire from his fingertips, though, because Big Daddy Dawson had a secret weapon: a gun. The Son of Satan was too quick for him, though, and he hurled his trident, knocking the gun out of his hand, and then melted it with a fire blast. Big Daddy Dawson realized that, "whoever this dude is--He's for real!", and he and the Ruthless Riders took off. (Marvel Spotlight I#12)

-- After the Son of Satan left, Big Daddy Dawson came back for more. He chased down Roxanne Simpson and took her back to his place, and then tied her up and...read the newspaper!! Big Daddy Dawson saw an add for Blaze's cycle show and figured to use Roxanne Simpson for ransom. He brought her to the hospital where Blaze was staying, but surprisingly enough, Blaze turned into the Ghost Rider (I). Big Daddy Dawson unloaded his gun into Ghost Rider (I), and after it had no effect, he ran off and got his chopper. He ran Ghost Rider (I) down, hit him head on, and then took off. Ghost Rider (I) formed a Hellfire cycle, chased him down, and blew his tire with a burst of flame. Big Daddy Dawson took a turn for the worse...into the side of a semi-truck, and was apparently killed in the explosion. (GR#3)

However Blackout had one problem, Ghost Rider (II).  Blackout searched for Ghost Rider (II); when he found him, he struck a deal, if Ghost Rider (II) stays away from Blackout, then he will not go after Dan Ketch's friends and family.  Reluctantly, Ghost Rider (II) agreed, however Ghost Rider (II) broke the truce when Blackout killed his one time lover Linda Wei.  When Ghost Rider (II) caught up with Blackout, Ghost Rider (II) had Blackout tied to the top of the world trade center, were everyday he will face his weakness, sunlight. (This will be sorted out by issues in time)

NOTE: Much more to come on the Blade and Ghost Rider Link...

-- Biological father of Johnny Blaze.

-- Referred to as "Hellfire on Wheels... [an] imitation Evil Knevil who blew himself up trying to clear a hundred Gas tankers with a motorbike" (it was actually ten tankers). (GR2 minus 1, TOGR 1).

-- Although it is clear that Naomi Kale is his mother and Barton Blaze's wife, it is also clear that Blaze believes his mother's name is Clara Blaze. The best explanation is that Crash Simpson lied to Blaze about his mother's name in order to protect him (since he seems determined to make sure that Blaze and his mother never meet). (GR2 minus 1, TOGRRA 6).

Mini Profile:
-- Stunt Cyclist for the Quentin Carnival. Son of Barton Blaze and Naomi Kale. Raised by Crash Simpson, married Roxanne Simpson. Father of Craig and Emma. Also, he is Dan Ketch's and Barbara Ketch's brother.
-- Barton Blaze was killed performing a dangerous stunt, and Johnny Blaze, now an orphan (his mother 'Clara Blaze' having died shortly after his birth), was adopted by Crash Simpson and his wife Mona Simpson. At first frightened of Motorcycles, Johnny Blaze soon conquered his fear and became an accomplished amateur motorcyclist. Johnny Blaze practiced stuntriding on his own, and became romantically involved with his stepsister Roxanne Simpson. Johnny Blaze also began to take interest in the occult. Just when then the Simpson Cycle Show was about to get a chance at fame with a booking at New York City's Madison Square Garden, Crash Simpson learned that he was dying of a rare blood disease. Desperate to save his stepfather, Johnny Blaze performed a ritual to summon up the "devil," whom Johnny Blaze believed to be the Biblical Satan but was actually the demon lord Mephisto. Mephisto agreed to save Crash Simpson from his fatal disease in return for Johnny Blaze's soul. At Madison Square Garden, Crash Simpson performed the greatest stunt of his career, a cycle jump over 22 cars widths, and crashed to his death. Johnny Blaze was shocked, since he believed the "devil" would protect his stepfather. When Mephisto appeared to collect Johnny Blaze's soul, the demon explained that only promised to save Crash Simpson from the diseased, and nothing more. However, before Mephisto could take Johnny Blazee's soul, Roxanne Simpson arrived and recited a spell of banishment she read in one of Johnny Blaze's occult books. Mephisto was forced to leave without Johnny Blaze's soul, but was able to graft the essence of the demon Zarathos to Johnny Blaze's body.*
-- (See also Ghost Rider (I), Ghost Rider (III)).

Ghost Rider Link:
-- He is the Original Ghost Rider (I)...
-- Zarathos was a demon who attacked human souls. In order to capture Zarathos, many centuries ago Mephisto stole the soul of an American Indian now known as Centurious. When Zarathos' attacked on Centurious therefore proved ineffective, the demon's followers lost faith in him. Mephisto then stole the living flames that was Zarathos' soul. Over the centuries Mephisto amused himself by placing the essence of Zarathos within various human hosts. Johnny Blaze was the latest of these.

Johnny Blaze was unaware of the separate consciousness of the being that dwelled within him, and believed that the demonic personality was a sinister side of his own personality. At first the demon manifested itself every nightfall, mystically burning Johnny Blaze's flesh to become a fiery skeletal being. Using his demonic Hellfire to create a fiery Motorcycle to ride, the composite Zarathos. Johnny Blaze entity became publicly known as the Ghost Rider (I). Whenever the Ghost Rider (I) returned to human form, Johnny Blaze's flesh would immediately restore.

At first Johnny Blaze dominated the Ghost Rider (I)'s personality. After a few months, Johnny Blaze's automatic transformations at nightfall ended. He then became the Ghost Rider (I) whenever he mystically sensed "evil" in his vicinity. Later, Johnny Blaze was able to control his transformations as well as the actions of the demon when it manifested itself. It was during this period that the Ghost Rider (I) became a member of The Champions of Los Angeles, a short-lived group of superhuman adventurers. But the more Johnny Blaze became the Ghost Rider (I), the stronger the demon became. Eventually Zarathos tried to take control of their composite form. Johnny Blaze no longer summoned the demon within him to help him accomplish his ends, such as fighting crime. Instead, Johnny Blaze valiantly struggled to prevent Zarathos from taking control and wreaking havoc.

Centurious still lived and sought vengeance on Zarathos for being the reason why he lost his soul. Centurious entrapped Johnny Blaze's soul within his Soul Crystal and then defeated Zarathos. Zarathos cracked open The Soul Crystal, releasing Johnny Blaze's soul and many others, and entrapping Centurious within The Soul Crystal when it mystically resealed. An associate of Centurious offered to send Zarathos into The Soul Crystal to take vengeance, and the demon agreed. Zarathos' essence was sucked out of Johnny Blaze's body into The Soul Crystal, where Zarathos grapples eternally with Centurious, neither able to defeat the other.

Johnny Blaze thus been permanently freed his bond to Zarathos. Johnny Blaze and Roxanne Simpson have been traveled through America together by Motorcycle. Ghost Rider (I) roared to life once again when teenager Dan Ketch and his sister, Barbara Ketch, chanced upon the illegal activities of the crime lord Deathwatch. The siblings attempted to escape, but Barbara Ketch was mortally wounded. Soaked in blood after dragging his sister's body into a trash heap, Dan Ketch came across a mysterious, mystical Motorcycle. Touching its glowing gas cap, he stood transformed into the Spirit of Vengeance. Ghost Rider (I)'s return attracted the attention of Johnny Blaze, who believed him to be Zarathos. Johnny Blaze set out to exorcise the demon, thereby liberating its hapless host. But when Ghost Rider (I) convinced his predecessor he was not Zarathos, the two became allies. Later, Johnny Blaze and Dan Ketch learned they were long-lost brothers.

Having lost his wife and children, Johnny Blaze again finds himself possessed by the demon Zarathos. And so Ghost Rider (I) -- blood-born Spirit of Vengeance, High Lord of Hell on Earth, haunts America's highways, visiting his righteous wrath upon the souls of the wicked and the damned. *

NOTE: A lot more to come on ol' Johnny Blaze... considering this site wouldn't be here without the character.

Mini Profile:
-- Real Name: Mark Todd.
-- In 1937 newspaper man and pacifist Mark Todd visited China to report on the Sino-Japanese War. Caught in the open during a Japanese artillery barrage, he took cover in a convenient cave. However his shelter proved to be the home of the Skull Men, a strange race of beings with burning skulls where their heads should have been. They informed him that the Forces of Destiny had chosen Mark Todd to be a champion for freedom, and taught him several of their mystical abilities, notably how to be invulnerable to fire. Once this process was completed, Mark Todd returned to civilisation, where he witnessed the evils perpetrated by the Nazis on the people of Europe. Unwilling to simply watch this injustice happen, he donned a fiery skull-faced mask, mimicing the appearance of his mentors, and became this Nazi fighter.

Mini Profile:
-- Real Name: Fred J. Dukes
-- He is a mutant whose latent superhuman powers manifested themselves when he reached puberty. Thinking of himself as no more than, in his own words, "an extra-strong freak," the Blob used his superhuman powers as a performer in a carnival. The original X-Men came to the carnival in their everyday identities to invite him to meet with their mentor, Professor Charles Xavier. Attracted to the beautiful young Jean Grey, the Blob accepted, and went with the X-Men to Xavier's mansion. There, Xavier asked the Blob to join the X-Men, but the Blob arrogantly refused. Xavier then knew he had to use his mental powers to erase the Blob's knowledge of the X-Men's true identities. But the Blob had no intention of letting this happen, and, after fighting the X-Men, escaped back to the carnival.
-- His mutant powers relate to the mass, strength, resilience and indestructibility of his obese body. His primary ability is to become virtually immovable at will as long as he is in contact with the ground. He does this by bonding himself to the earth beneath him by force or will, which in effect creates a monodirectional increase of gravity beneath him.

Ghost Rider Link:
-- He, with Lonrelei and Unus the Untouchable, crashes The Champions HQ fleeing from the Sentinels. It turns out to be a trick they have concocted with The Vanisher. Of course, The Champions is the short lived group that Ghost Rider (I) was a part of. (Champ 17).

-- He then hangs out in an alley outside of Doctor Strange's place, scaring a few cops while he waits for Ghost Rider (I) to emerge. (GR1 30).

-- After the battle with Dormmamu is over, he chases Ghost Rider (I) down and manages to knock him out, thus capturing him. (GR1 31).

-- He takes Ghost Rider (I) to Last Chance, Nevada. There, in true super-villain tradition, reveals his entire history. He was an immoral old west bounty hunter named Haskill. He was killed by the brother of one of his victims. Hell looked a lot like a bar, and the bartender offered him a chance at life if he would be Hell's bounty hunter. All he had to do was bring in fifty souls without any failure. Of course, he fails with Blaze and so is reclaimed by Hell. (GR1 32).

-- Cop investigating the death of Charles Blackwater. He talks with Martin Gold and is familiar with his earlier career as a serious investigative journalist. (LoN 1).

Ghost Rider Link:
-- A second pack of Brain-Eaters was on a cross-country killing spree. (Marvel Comics Presents#109 (fb) - BTS)

-- Ghost Rider (II) found a recent victim of this other pack of Brain-Eaters in New York. The same group later drove off a mugger, only to take his would-be victims for themselves. They brought their victims into Central Park for a ritual slaughter, where they were observed by three youths, including Billy Baldwin. The werewolves picked up the scent of their observers, and captured and slew two of them, though Billy Baldwin fled. One of their victims was discovered by The Werewolf, who had been tracking this second pack across country. Jack Russell was mistaken for the killer and attacked by Ghost Rider (II). (Marvel Comics Presents#107)

-- The Brain-Eaters somehow tracked down Baldwin's apartment and tortured and killed his father, mother, and sister in an effort to find him, though neither one knew where he was.  Lupe approached their leader Scuzz for a little...distraction...but he slapped her aside, telling her there would be no partying until they found the boy. (Marvel Comics Presents#108)

Scuzz then managed to grab Billy Baldwin and threatened to rip him to pieces if Ghost Rider (II) didn't surrender. (Marvel Comics Presents#109)

-- The Brain-Eaters tied each of Ghost Rider (II)'s limbs to their cycles and tear him apart, but the chains gave before he did. Scuzz wanted to kill Billy Baldwin, but Lupe convinced him to keep Billy Baldwin hostage in case Jack Russell or others came after them. Ghost Rider (II) was weakened by their assault and was unable to pursue them.  Ghost Rider (II) and Jack Russell regrouped and Jack Russell sent Dan Ketch to try to catch The Brain-Eaters unawares in human form, to find Billy Baldwin. Dan Ketch followed leads to the Black Moon Bar & Grill where The Brain-Eaters were partying hearty. Scuzz found Dan Ketch's scent to be vaguely familiar, and sent Lupe to check him out. Dan Ketch made a connection with Lupe and convinced her that she had the potential to be better. However, Scuzz then broke them up, and sent Cody and Razorblade to take Dan Ketch outside and beat him. They left him to bleed to death. (Marvel Comics Presents#110)

-- Jack Russell found Dan Ketch and took him into a sewer to hide his scent, and then treated his wounds for 24 hours until he recovered. Meanwhile, Scuzz began to think that Billy Baldwin was no longer needed and wanted to change him from figurative to literal dead weight. Lupe took Dan Ketch's words to heart, distracted and then punched out Razorblade, threw him into the drinks of some of the others--causing a great fight, and fled with Billy Baldwin. Scuzz quickly realized what had happened and led a pack of Brain-Eaters after them. Lupe sacrificed herself to give Billy Baldwin time to run, and Scuzz killed her himself. Ghost Rider (II) and Jack Russell arrived then, and Ghost Rider (II) tackled Scuzz, who told him that if he took the time to fight him, his Brain-Eaters will have slain Billy Baldwin before he could reach them. (Marvel Comics Presents#111)

Mini Profile:
-- Real Name: Sean Watanbe. Son of Yugi Watanabe.
-- Since he could walk his father taught him to fight. He loved the sport and always wanted to become better than his father. When he entered competitions he learned that he couldn't be hit because he always knew his opponents next move as soon as he thought it. Sean Watanbe grew older and filled with patriotism he joined the Navy. He qualified for the SEALS and learned to fight in ways he had never thought of before. In the Navy he got his nickname Brass because he always went in for jobs nobody else wanted to do. Eventually he met Theresa and fell in love with her. One day in Manhattan they were making plans for their future, but when they were across The Avengers Mansion the Mandarin attacked, Theresa panicked and was run over by a car. Some time later Brass learned that the Mandarin was at that time part of a conspiracy called the Acts of Vengeance. Brass vowed to kill all participants and started with his vengeance by hitting Mandarin's operations in New York City's Chinatown.
-- He was a low-level telepath who could read the thoughts somebody just thought. He was also a trained martial arts expert.
He was as deadly in hand-to-hand combat as when he used swords and other ninja-like weapons he was trained in. Through his membership with the Navy SEALS he gained knowledge about combat tactics, surveillance, explosives and the use of nearly any conventional weapon.
