Biography[]
The man known only as the Freakmaster, was the son of two carnival sideshow performers, both of whom were employees of the Quentin Carnival. As an adult, the Freakmaster had learned that his parents were abused, and that carnival owner Ralph Quentin had a hand in their ultimate fates. Swearing revenge against him, he used his wealth and resources to establish his own cadre of so-called "Freaks", and used them as an army against the workers at the Quentin Carnival. One of Ralph Quentin's motorcycle stunt riders was Johnny Blaze, who was also the vessel for a demonic entity known as the Ghost Rider. When the Freakmaster's freaks attacked the Quentin Carnival, Johnny Blaze was forced to tap into the power of the Ghost Rider to combat them.
