Powers
Blackout possesses the mutant ability to cloak himself in darkness, creating an effective camouflage to attack his unsuspecting victims. In his original life, he had steel fangs implanted into his mouth. After his rebirth by Lilth, he possessed true demon fangs and his facial scars were healed. Blackout also possesses superhuman strength and agility, he is impervious to most weapons, and is able to heal at an accelerated rate. However, he appeared to be very weak against hellfire and he did die when stabbed through the heart by Blade.

First Appearance
Ghost Rider #2 (1991)

There is very little known about Blackout's early exploits. In his first appearance, he encountered the Ghost Rider (Daniel Ketch) as a henchman for the crime lord Deathwatch. He later ran afoul of the Kingpin while on a mission to obtain two mysterious containers. His mission was foiled by the Ghost Rider, and Blackout attempted to bite the Ghost Rider on the neck, only to have his face disfigured by a burst of hellfire from the bite wounds.

Disgruntled and disappointed by his failures, Blackout became obsessed with obtaining revenge on the Ghost Rider. He eventually learned the Ghost Rider's true identity and murdered his sister, Barbara Ketch. A while later Blackout battled the Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze and lost once again. He joined the organization known as the FIRM for a short period of time; their agenda was to capture the Ghost Rider. Still, Blackout's plans for revenge were his top priority, which led to him killing Daniel Ketch, but the Ghost Rider lived on through Johnny Blaze, while Blackout was buried alive.

Blackout would later reemerge, this time in the company of his great grandmother, Lilith, and the Lilin children. While fighting against the Midnight Sons, Blackout met his death after being stabbed through the heart by Blade. Recently, Blackout, alongside Doghead, Orb, and Death Ninja, has been working with Daniel Ketch. Blackout attempted to kill the Caretaker, only to be stopped by Daniel. A few moments later Daniel took the Caretaker's life himself.
