Dusk was the Ruler of the "Realm of Madness", a dimension which grants him access to minds of the insane. His early exploits are still a mystery, however, it is documented that one his first acts was upon the
Ghost Rider (Daniel Ketch). Dusk assisted the sick and twisted
Typhoid Mary who was attempting to keep Ketch trapped in the Ghost Rider's form. Dusk told Typhoid Mary that he could cure her in his realm. She only had to drive Ghost Rider mad so that he would enter the Realm of Madness.
