[edit] Fictional character biography
Norman Harrison was the owner of an occult bookstore in Greenwich Village. He made a deal with 12 demons, each representing a sign of the zodiac to give him power beyond his wildest dreams. The demons grafted themselves to Norman granting him powers based on the zodiac, such as growing horns, shooting energy arrows, controlling water, or flying.
Ghost Rider follwed Zodiak's trail into a nearby building, where his discovered four children encased in a ball of mystical energy, being tom apart by its power, with a group called "The Seven" channeling the energies. Zodiak and his men caught Ghost Rider by suprise and using guns mystically powered by Zodiak's employes, took him down. However, Doctor Strange and his companions Topaz and Rintrah entered and saved Ghost Rider. The Seven lost their focus in the ritual and caused the energy ball to explode, releasing a demon that Dr. Strange quickly sent back to its home dimension. Ghost Rider then found one of Zdiak's doppelgangers, which taunted him before being destroyed.
Some time later, Ghost Rider began his search for Zodiak again and started attacking drug dealers in an effort to locate him or send a message to him. On of the dealers, Tim, did manage to get the message back to Zodiak, who then killed an other innocent person to lure Ghost Rider to him. After an impromptu fight with Suicide, Ghost Rider found Zodiak/Tim and unmasked him. As Suicide attacked Ghost Rider again, Rider forced him to watch Tim slip away and die. The real Zodiak then arrived and blasted Ghost Rider with the gun again, but it proved not to be powerful enough to kill the hero. When Ghost Rider destroyed the weapon, Zodiak took fight to escape, but was knocked into a subway station.
