Amalgam Comics: Marvel Comics # 4- Speed Demon

  • Uatu the Guardian of the Starbrand Corps frames Hal Jordan for killing all members of the Corps when it was actually him

  • Speed Demon (resembling Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze and Barry Allen) saves Hal then kills him because he himself committed murders 

  • Wally West watches Speed Demon transform back into Blaze Allen at the Quentin Carnival where they live. Wally is Blaze’s nephew

  • Blaze tells the story of how he became Speed Demon to Wally. A demon took his wife Iris on their wedding day and sucked out her life force. Blaze then made a pact with the demon Etrigan and sold his soul to have vengeance

  • The being who took Iris is actually Night Spectre who takes the souls of the absolute pure or corrupt and has them work as slaves in his sanctum

  • As Speed Demon, he stops Night Spectre from collecting souls

  • Night Spectre hunts Harvey Osborn aka Green Goblin as he is the last soul he needs. Speed Demon saves him and when he looks at Harvey’s two-face he asks who did it to him, to which Harvey responds it was Darkclaw

  • Spectre takes Harvey with him to his realm where Speed Demon follows

  • A wizard-looking being tells Wally that Night Spectre once approached Blaze for his arcane abilities but Blaze refused therefore Spectre took his wife. The wizard is Merlin and offers Wally a chance to save his uncle 

  • Blaze begins separating from Speed Demon as Spectre begins to overpower him but just then, another Speed Demon attacks Spectre- it’s Wally

  • Speed Demon liberates the souls in Spectre’s hell

  • Back on Earth, all seems right but Blaze wonders, if he’s bonded to Etrigan, then who is bonded to Wally? It is Night Spectre
