A Friend (Earth-616) VS Aaron Stankey (Earth-616)
A Friend (Earth-616)
During a time when Mephisto was manipulating Johnny Blaze, aka Ghost Rider, into believing he was the biblical Satan, he also either posed as, or changed one of his demons into a mysterious savior who resembled Jesus.[1] After foiling a plot by "Satan" to take John's soul, this entity told John he was "a friend",[1] and appeared in his life a number of times. While John believed he may have been Jesus, it was later revealed by "Satan" that it was yet another manipulation on his part to try and steal Blaze's soul. The full extent of this entity's abilities has never been revealed, as it was a manipulation created by Mephisto. If the "friend" had any powers to begin with are questionable at best. He appeared to be able to repel Satan and presumably perform miracles.

Aaron Stankey was an ex-boxer, [1] who had the bad luck of crossing paths with the super-villain known as Klaw. Klaw was in possession of a wand containing the essence of the Molecule Man who was seeking a new body. Forcing the wand on Stankey, he was possessed by the Molecule Man. [2] The pair then attacked the Baxter Building, headquarters of the Fantastic Four. There they ambushed the FF's guest, the alien known as the Impossible Man. [3] The Molecule Man sought a psi-amplifier that was invented by Mister Fantastic, as he believed it would make his possession over Stankey's body permanent. When the Fantastic Four returned home from their last mission, they clashed with Klaw and the Molecule Man. Ultimately, Reed managed to disconnect the Psi-Amplifier before the Molecule Man could utilize the device, the feedback caused him to drop his wand, freeing Stankey from the Molecule Man's control. But moments later the Molecule Man managed to possess Mister Fantastic. [2] Eventually, the Fantastic Four managed to free Reed and defeat the Molecule Man. [4] Stankey's activities thereafter are unknown.
