Nakota and Fang – who bow before Lilith. Elsewhere, in Times Square, Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze ride in search of Blackout.

Before setting out, she makes a call to the biologist she found – Dr. Langford – in his lab, and tells him she and her new help will pick him up on the way. Ending the call, Langford muses that. Was too brilliant for his own good. “If you had accepted your disease, you’d at least be resting in peace by now, ” he says to himself, and if you hadn’t written so many brilliant unpublished papers during your remission, then you wouldn’t have attracted so much of the wrong kind of attention.

Him while he is stunned. Back at Langford’s lab, Fang slips in by transforming into a liquid form. Finding Langford’s serum, Fang “poisons” it with his own demonic blood.

Langford later noted that the serum had changed color, but thought little of it and injected a bound and unconscious. Langford was shocked when.

Normal periods – if he gets a sample of the serum that mutated him. Tells him he will get it, but that he will need more protection than his tattered costume can provide. Finds a full-leather outfit (with cape) that he suspects will give him a good amount of protection. She approaches unnoticed, and find Langford arguing with three similarly-dressed men. We will later learn that these three are some of Dr. After hearing Langford tell the men the escape was not his fault, and that the dose should have been fatal, she is noticed.

Drains Langford, then throws his body out the window. For the first time in his life. Finds he has killed with no remorse, only satisfaction. It is only after collecting the beaker of serum that. Notices the blaze around him. He dives for the window, but is also half blown out by an ensuing explosion.
