While we are getting the "I dunno how many'est" version of HULK, Spidey, Wolverine and Daredevil there are still oh so many more or less popular characters out there that are still waiting impatiently for their Heroclix debut.

Introducing Ghost Rider's dark counterpart, the avenging Spirit called Vengeance.

Vengeance first appeared in Ghost Rider #21 (January 1992), and was created by Howard Mackie.
Police Lt. Michael Badilino believed Ghost Rider to be the same demon that had destroyed his family and turned to Mephisto to exchange his soul for the power to destroy the Ghost Rider. Born was Vengeance, who soon turned sides and became a mystical (keyword) member of the Midnightsons (keyword) himself.
Vengeance inherits most of the powers of Ghost Rider: he can shoot hellfire from his hands, is nearly indestructible, rides a hellfire infused bike of his own and wields a chain of bones. He can even detach the spikes protruding from his shoulders and use them as weapons.

Typical powers for Vengeance might be:

Roadkill - Vengeance may use charge but doesn't half his speed value
Riding up the walls - Leap/Climb
hellfire barrage - Energy Explosion
Demonic Strength - Super Strength
Bone Chain - Vengeance can use Incapacitate and Force Blast
Bone spikes - Exploit Weakness
I'm indestructible - Invulnerability
You can't hurt me - Toughness
Driven by rage - Battle Fury

Fire and Brimstone - After every move action, Vengeance may place up to three hindering terrain markers in squares he moved through


Mystics TA

Now, let's see your dream-dials for Vengeance.
I will see you in two weeks when we examine Onslaught's "Logistics Manager"...

I really want him as a clix. He hust SCREAMS 90's. Chains, Spikes, and unnecessary costume embeleshments abound! Plus, I totally want to run a clix biker gang!

Something that would fit all the qualifications of a possible Con Exclusive figure, right?

Awesome article. I always loved this guy in older Ghost Rider comics. Definately needs a remake.

Remake? He's never been MADE! Hence the article

Arg...
"He needs to be made."That is what I meant. To late (early) to be thinking...

Vengeance and Demogoblin are my top 2 for my Marvel clix list...For DC it's El Dorado and a Superman/Wonder Woman duo. The big purple guy would pretty much complete my collection of 90's superhero cartoon show clix!

While clearly conceived in the 90's as the "Extreme Ghost Rider", I really did enjoy the charter and highly endorse him in Clix form.

Now would be the perfect time to make him. Didn't he just appear a few months back in Secret Avengers on Max Fury's new Masters of Evil team?

I'll take him if they make him, but he doesn't excite me. In fact when it looked like he was going to take over the book, I thought about dropping it.

I'd rather see the Scarecrow.

That was Vengeance II

I would support a Michael Badilino who AE's into Vengeance and a later 90's Vengeance who went insane trying to rid the world of Anton Hellgate. As 90's as the character might feel he has an exceptionally well handled character arc and I'd love to see that fully represented (also, really like his redesigned costume).

yay '90s! ghost rider just wasnt dark enough, let's make him more extreme! :P seriously though, the more midnight sons, the better (i'm looking at you unclicked johnny blaze w/hellfire shotgun)

all the more reason to get a "midnight sons" set featuring marvel's dark corner of magic, especially since we just got a loving homage to their cosmic characters. in addition to this bloke, we'd have great themes like midnight sons, darkstalkers, darkholme redeamers and real easy generics such as vampires and werewolves

P.S. exploit weakness is a damage power did you mean bcf? for bone spikes?

Glad to see this feature to bring some attension to my number 1 want since they made Omega Red.

Ghost Rider has had some of my favorite sculpts to date in the game. Vengeance should at the VERY LEAST, make a great sculpt potential.

Definitely one of my favorite '90s characters and in my top 10(if not top 5) Marvel characters to see made. I would love to run a team consisting of Vengeance, Danny Ketch GR(updated on bike) and Blaze(hellfire shotgun, on bike as well), as I feel the combination of the three would be more than a little mean.
