The Midnight Sons are a team of supernatural superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.[4] Including Ghost Riders Danny Ketch and Johnny Blaze, Blade, and Morbius,[5] the original team first formed as part of the Rise of the Midnight Sons story arc, culminating in the first full team appearance in Ghost Rider (vol. 3) #31 (cover dated November 1992).[6][7] Following the success of the crossovers, Marvel branded all stories involving the group with a distinct family imprint and cover treatment, which lasted from December 1993 to August 1994. The team has been revived several times with different characters, but the most frequent members include Morbius, Blade, and at least one Spirit of Vengeance.
