| - Gabe Reyes and his older brother Robbie were raised in East Los Angeles by their uncle Eli Morrow. Robbie dropped out of high school in eleventh grade, but Gabe always insisted that he could go back and be an engineer like their uncle. One day, as Robbie and Gabe were cruising around the neighborhood, a group of the Fifth Street Locos fired at their car, lighted it on fire, and let the two brothers die. The injuries suffered in the attack caused Gabe to lose his ability to walk, and Robbie died. Robbie's last thought was a call to help to anyone who would listen, be it God or someone else, to save Gabe. In the darkness, Robbie heard a voice asking him if he wanted to avenge his death.
Robbie said yes and a moment later he was alive again. A mysterious stranger on a motorcycle appeared and pulled Gabe to safety out of the burning car. The stranger then approached Robbie, revealing himself to be a demonic being with a flaming skull for a head. The stranger touched Robbie, transforming him into a being similar to himself, the Ghost Rider, and then left. Robbie never told Gabe the truth about what happened that night. Eli Morrow was later jailed on charges of attempted murder, but he told Robbie that this person deserved it. Robbie had to find work as a mechanic at Canelo's Auto and Body in order to support himself and his brother.
