Spirit of Vengeance

"You don't get to decide who deserves to die!" "I'm not the one who decides."

- Daisy Johnson and Robbie Reyes

The Spirit of Vengeance is an entity that bonds with individuals who bear desperation and a desire for vengeance, changing them into Ghost Rider.

Escape from the Hell Dimension
"I know where you're being dragged down to. I've escaped it before."

- Spirit of Vengeance to Robbie Reyes

The Spirit of Vengeance was trapped in a dimension called Hell, but he managed to escape and reached the Earth Plane, making a vow that he would never go back to his former prison. The Spirit eventually bonded with Johnny Blaze, turning him into Ghost Rider.

Resurrecting Robbie Reyes
"And you're right. There was someone there when I came to. But it wasn't a Good Samaritan. It was the Devil. Whatever was inside him, he passed it into me."

- Robbie Reyes to Gabe Reyes

One night in Los Angeles, Robbie Reyes and his brother Gabe were attacked, their car crashed and Robbie was sent flying through the windshield and hit the ground to his death. But a voice called out to him through the darkness. It asked if he would truly do anything to save his brother and punish the men who attacked them; Robbie said yes. Johnny Blaze arrived at the scene on his Hell Cycle, pulled Gabe from the car, and resurrected Robbie, transferring the Spirit of Vengeance into him, so he could fulfill his deal and punish the souls that did him wrong.

Another Deal To Make
"You can't hold on to Mack's body forever. He's a good man. He doesn't have vengeance in him." "It's not ideal, but Mack... He has a lot of pain. He lost hope. I could survive off his pain for years."

- Robbie Reyes and the Spirit of Vengeance Several years after they bonded, Robbie Reyes was involved in an incident that made Reyes' body out of phase with the Earth realm, along with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Phil Coulson and Leo Fitz. Knowing that Reyes could not stay trapped between dimensions forever and that he would be pulled into Hell sooner or later, the Spirit left Reyes' body and bonded with S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Alphonso Mackenzie. Now in control of Mackenzie's body, the Spirit began searching for members of the crime gang called the Chinatown Crew. However, Reyes caught up with the Spirit, telling him to leave Mackenzie's body because the two of them still had unfinished business. The Spirit replied that he had already done what Reyes wanted, soaking his neighborhood in the blood of the guilty ones. Reyes told him that he still had to stop his uncle Eli Morrow to which the Spirit replied that he would meet him too. When Reyes tried to reason with him, telling him that Mackenzie was a good man, the Spirit said that Mackenzie was a man who had lost hope, and that he could feed on Mackenzie's pain for years. When Reyes fell in pain on the floor, the Spirit told him that he knew where he was being dragged into, because he has escaped that place before and would not go back.

As former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Daisy Johnson appeared on the scene, the Spirit transformed Mackenzie's body into his Ghost Rider form and faced the intruder. Invisible to Johnson, Reyes stepped in front of the Spirit and finally asked him to make another deal with him - if the Spirit helped him to take down Morrow, he would help him to settle down his own old scores. The Spirit accepted and left Mackenzie's body, once again bonding with Reyes. At the same time they both vanished, leaving Mackenzie and Johnson alone.
