Johnathon Richard Thomas Blaze era um artista de manobras em motocicletas que aceitou hospedar a alma de Zarathos, em troca da salvação de Barton Blaze, pai biológico de Blaze e dono do local de exibições das motos. Esse Motoqueiro Fantasma fez parte, nos anos 70, do supergrupo conhecido como Campeões, juntamente com Anjo, Homem de Gelo, Viúva Negra, Hércules e Estrela Negra. Roxanne Simpson, filha natural de "Crash" Simpson, foi a primeira pessoa a descobrir que o Motoqueiro Fantasma e Johnny Blaze eram a mesma pessoa. Por muito tempo, a força do amor de Roxanne era a única coisa que mantinha Satã longe do Motoqueiro Fantasma. Satã, porém, conseguiu enganá-la usando imagens falsas de seu falecido pai. Assim que Roxanne retirou a proteção, Satã tomou os poderes do Motoqueiro. Porém, Blaze conseguiu se safar com a intervenção de Daimon Hellstrom, o filho de Satã, que havia virado exorcista na Terra. Algum tempo depois, Blaze conseguiu encarcerar Zarathos numa joia chamada Cristal Espiritual. Livre do demônio, Johnny ainda tinha os poderes porém depois de algum tempo Zarathos voltou então Johnny fugiu para o outro lado do mundo.
