Who is Blackout?

Blackout is a pale, fang-toothed Marvel villain with a half-demon heritage who became one of Ghost Rider's most persistent and personal enemies, possessing the ability to plunge areas into supernatural darkness and a savage, predatory nature that makes him uniquely dangerous.

Born in the early 1990s from the creative partnership of Howard Mackie and Javier Saltares, Blackout is a Copper Age Marvel villain who made his mark crashing into the world of Ghost Rider — and has haunted the Marvel Universe ever since. With a catalog presence stretching from 1991 all the way to 2025, this is a character with genuine staying power, turning up across Ghost Rider: Resurrected, Marvel Comics Presents, and the main Ghost Rider series. The company Blackout keeps tells you everything about his weight class: sharing pages with Ghost Rider, Spider-Man, Captain America, and Wolverine signals a villain who operates at the highest level of Marvel street-and-supernatural storytelling. If you love the darker, grittier corner of the Marvel Universe where horror meets superheroics, Blackout is absolutely worth tracking down.
