History

Tabicantra was sent by Azmodeus, who wanted to control the Ghost Rider but knew that he was dependent upon Johnny Blaze, to destroy the control that the motorcyclist held over him before infernal souls had finished sifting through the Netherglass. She first encountered Johnny when he was riding his motorcycle to the side of her car. Although she thought that he was handsome, she remembered her mission and shot beams out of her eyes, causing a bridge to fall apart while he was crossing it.

He survived, but Asmodeus knew that every time Johnny let out the Ghost Rider, his control would keep declining and Tabicantra briefly passed by him again at Becky's Diner before she materialized trucks in the middle of a highway and caused them to burst into flames, leading Johnny to transform into the Ghost Rider again. Then, she caused her car to catch on fire, luring Johnny to her and after he carried her out, he agreed to let her ride on his motorcycle and invited her to eat steak at the Ridge Inn in a nearby town.

While Johnny was parking his motorcycle, she shot beams out of her eyes and caused a demon to appear and attack him, who transformed into Ghost Rider again. After the demon was defeated, Tabicantra had steak with Johnny before her attraction to him made her decide to betray Azmodeus but before she could warn the motorcyclist, he had to pay their check. After going outside, Johnny allowed her to speak, but before she could warn him, Azmodeus' demons, led by V'Zarr-Than, attacked them. Johnny attempted to transform into the Ghost Rider but she caused him to feel pain in his head, knocked him unconscious with a blast from her eye, and conjured a globe of force around him to protect him from the demons, but it drained her strength. She knew that she couldn't survive until the souls ran out of Azmodeus' Netherglass and that the globe protecting Johnny would die with her, so she drained away her own life-force and used its power to strengthen her waning magic before destroying V'Zarr-Than and the other demons, but also dying in the process and being sent hurtling for all eternity into the netherworldly void.
