Biography

During the "Rise of the Midnight Sons" event, the Spirit of Vengeance was separated from Danny Ketch, whose soul had been lost. The Ghost Rider had a vision wherein he found Ketch's soul, but also learned about the existence of the Darkhold Redeemers.

The Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze fought up against Steel Vengeance, who was the younger sister of an old foe of Blaze's known as Steel Wind. The Ghost Rider attempted to use his Penance Stare upon her, but it had not affect on her because the cybernetic villain had previously sold her soul for the change at vengeance against Blaze.
