Of all the Midnight Sons, none hold more power than these three tortured men. Noble Kale (aka
the Ghost Rider), Johnny Blaze, and Michael Badilino (aka Vengeance) have suffered horribly as a
result of the machinations of the occult powers of the Marvel Universe. Each has lost family and
faced grievous wounds and certain death. Never once did any of them shirk their duty. They are
truly heroes of the first order. As long as they stand against the shadows, darkness will never
envelop the innocent.

Using Ghost Rider in Your Campaign: This is a tough one. Ghost Rider aka Noble Kale was last
seen in Mephisto's realm, where he defeated and deposed the dark lord. In doing so, Ghost Rider became
the new lord of that realm. It is possible that he chose to remain there and rule, but it is also
possible that he chose to return to earth to continue his mission. And, of course, it's always
possible that Mephisto showed back up and kicked him out. I find that last one pretty likely, myself.

Steve Kunec's version of Ghost Rider at his fantastic

Using Johnny Blaze in Your Campaign: Blaze is the most accessible of the three Spirits of
Vengeance. Right now he is presumably travelling the country with the rebuilt Quentin Carnival
while searching for his children Craig and Emma. They disappeared following a confrontation with
the now-deceased crimelord Anton Hellate. That same battle claimed the life of Roxanne, Blaze's
wife.

Michael Badilino: Strength 4, Agility 5
, Intellect 4, Willpower 6
Calling: Vengeance, Protector (later Demolisher)
Hindrances: Monstrous, Transformative
Personality: Agressive and violent. Believes that might makes right. Had no compunctions
about killing the guilty.
History: See History of the Midnight Sons
Using Vengeance in Your Campaign: Vengeance was last seen in the realm of Mephisto, where he
was defeated by the dark lord. However, he bought Ghost Rider enought time to realize his true origins
and access enough power to defeat and slay Mephisto. It's possible that Vengeance remains there in
service to Ghost Rider (the realm's new lord) or he may have escaped back into the world of the living
during the confusion. You're the Narrator, you decide.
