Ghost Rider was always (and still is) my favorite character. I couldn't get enough of the Midnight Sons titles back in the day! I still have most of these comics mentioned in this vid. I so regret selling the ones I don't have so now I'm on the hunt to complete my Midnight Sons collection again. I know in August there's gonna be a Spirits of Vengeance Spirit Rider one-shot so I hope the Midnight Sons are coming back soon!

[@ilikepancakes2368]

I really hope these guys will be added to the MCU. It will be interesting to look at the darker side of the Marvel Universe and it’s supernatural elements but then again, I’m afraid that they will also butcher these characters since the midnight sons is a dark group in nature. But thinking of Multiverse of Madness, Moon Knight, and Werewolf by Night, it just proves that maybe the MCU isn’t afraid to get dark and horrifying when the narrative calls for it. With the upcoming Blade movie, crossing my fingers that this group will make it’s way to the big screen.

[@ngsonny2177]

will bet money they get mentioned in the next year or two

[@chinapat6708]

Definitely

[@AJDraws]

So Midnight Sons is basically Marvel's Justice League Dark?

[@HardStyleMarkoo]

thats what they are going for at the moment. This is just my speculation, but its gonna be watered down character wise. So this is breathing life into something that was "unforgettable". Personally i like the direction Kevin Feige is going. I'm crossing fingers for the future

Call me crazy but in my head canon the Midnight Sons and the Midnight Suns is a different team so i dont care if the name changed so ppl can differentiate. The Midnight Sons roster is relevant to the matter of supernatural kinda things meanwhile the Midnight Suns are not. Those devs literally put iron man, cap, capt marvel, and wolverine so the game will sells to the general audience lol.

Love love love the Midnight Sons. Mostly the original 9, with friends (Mordred, Jinx) but I always felt Werewolf by Night and some others should have been included, so I’m glad they have been in later iterations. What I don’t like is when regular heroes are members…like Iron Fist and as much as I love Ben, Scarlet Spider shouldn’t be a member either.

[@Blazegti]

The only way I see a Spider-Man character fitting in is with the magic spider totem link and iron fist seems too street tier and random for him to fit compared to someone like blade who is street tier but a way more fitting personality

I'm the same way, but thinking of reading comics. I'm currently playing the game, but taking it really really slow lol.

[@Cavillier1970]

Reminds me of the Supernaturals from E-98091 where the main heroes we all know vanish While trying to bring their mother back from the dead, two small boys create a Chaos! event that rids the world of all non-magic powered superhumans in it. 13 years later, the same circumstances leading up to that event are evident again. An attack on Dr. Strange's home leads Brother Voodoo to assemble 5 others in hopes of stopping the event & Jack O' Lantern; Doctor Voodoo, Werewolf by Night, Ghost Rider, Satana, Gargoyle. Other monsters/ creatures appear; Living Mummy, Dracula , Frankenstein's Monster, Scarecrow, Headless Horseman, El Chupacabra, Zombie, Jester, Droom , Gorgolla, Grogg, Groot (yes that "I Am Groot", the original version), Grottu, Gruto, Moomba, Rommbu. But the heroes are not alone Shroud , the Nightstalkers, the Witches of New Salem, Agatha Harkness, Hellstorm & Hellcat, Cloak & Dagger, Mordred, Ulysses Bloodstone, & Morbius all show up in the finale. Would have loved to seen more of them.
