As an avid and die hard Ghost Rider fan since the 1990's I don't consider the cinematic version to be blackout other than the darkening of surroundings nothing about that version has anything to do with the real blackout so to me that version is decay not blackout
Didn't Zarathos got retconed from being an evil demon lord to being angel of vengeance, the literal of embodiment God's on earth and his clenched fist ? Cuz Lucifer literally called him an angel
