Attack on Robbie and Gabe Reyes

The Attack on Robbie and Gabe Reyes was an attempt to murder Eli Morrow, planned by Joseph Bauer. Both Bauer and Morrow were obsessed with the Darkhold and Bauer hired the Fifth Street Locos to kill Morrow in a hit-and-run. The Fifth Street Locos instead mistakenly attacked Robbie and Gabe Reyes, who were driving Morrow's car, causing their car to crash.
Johnny Blaze arrived on the scene, and imbued Robbie, who had just died, with the Spirit of Vengeance, making him the new Ghost Rider. Gabe sustained a spinal injury that left him a paraplegic.

==Attack==
One night, Robbie Reyes entered a street race in Los Angeles against a Fifth Street Locos gang member in Eli Morrow's car. He was caught stealing the vehicle by his brother, Gabe Reyes, and Robbie convinced Gabe to come along.
As they drove off, some Fifth Street Locos gangsters followed them in a van. While driving, Robbie and Gabe talked about their uncle not being himself due to difficulties at Momentum Labs, saying that his boss was insane. They also commented on how confident Robbie was in the upcoming street race.
The gangsters passed them and stopped in front of them at a red light. The Fifth Street Locos threw a molotov cocktail at them, setting their car on fire. Robbie put the car in reverse to get away from the van. A second car chased them, pulled alongside them and shot both Robbie and Gabe. Robbie lost control of the car and crashed in the middle of the freeway, flipping the car.
Robbie was thrown from the car and, before hitting the ground, he prayed that Gabe's life would be spared. Robbie died on impact, but then he heard a voice. The voice asked if he wanted a second chance at life and if he wanted to inflict vengeance on those that had killed him and hurt Gabe. He answered yes. Robbie was then revived. He saw a man arrive on a motorcycle and pull Gabe out of the burning car. The stranger then approached Robbie, revealing himself to be Johnny Blaze, a demonic being with a flaming skull for a head. Blaze touched Robbie, and transferred the Spirit of vengeance into Robbie, turning him into the new Ghost Rider, before disappearing.
Gabe's life had been spared, but his injuries left him paralyzed from the waist down.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 4.06: The Good Samaritan
==Aftermath==
The day following Robbie's transformation into Ghost Rider, a furious Reyes killed all the members of the Fifth Street Locos.
Joseph Bauer, his wife Lucy, Frederick, Hugo and Vincent were all, through Bauer's experiment, transformed into ghostly entities after Eli Morrow attempted to kill them, leading to his incarceration.
During the South Ridge Penitentiary Riot, when S.H.I.E.L.D. and Reyes broke Morrow out of prison, Reyes found Santino Noguera, the sole surviving member of the Fifth Street Locos. Reyes unleashed the Ghost Rider, who incinerated Noguera in his cell as revenge for Gabe's paralysis. Robbie later revealed to Gabe that he was the Ghost Rider, telling him how Johnny Blaze had resurrected him from the dead.
