=== Resurrecting Robbie Reyes ===
One night in Los Angeles, Robbie Reyes and his brother Gabriel were attacked, their car crashed and Robbie was sent flying through the windshield. He begged and pleaded with God, and whoever else would listen, to please save his brother.
Robbie hit the ground and was killed, but a voice called out to him through the darkness. It asked if he would truly do anything to save his brother and punish the men who attacked them; Robbie said yes. Blaze arrived at the scene on his Hell Cycle, pulled Gabriel from the car, and resurrected Robbie, transferring the Spirit of Vengeance into him, so he can fulfill his deal and punish the souls that did him wrong. Blaze then left the scene.

== Trivia ==
* In the comics, Johnny Blaze was a member of the Quentin Carnival before he became Ghost Rider.
* The bullet hole in Blaze's skull is likely a reference to the comics in which Blaze got shot in the head by a dying priest with a holy bullet and was sent back to Hell in Ghost Rider Vol 5 #5.
* There are several references to Johnny Blaze in the episode Lockup. When Lucy and Joseph Bauer find the Darkhold in an abandoned basement, there is a poster for Quentin Carnival, an old stunt bike, a black leather jacket and a chain. In the comics Johnny Blaze worked at the carnival with his father as motorcycle stuntmen.
* In the Luke Cage episode Manifest, Zip refers to Domingo Colon's guns as "that John Blaze shit". "John Blaze" is a nickname of Method Man, which he took from the character Johnny Blaze.
