His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- Alongside George Reagan, he helps to gangrape Caleb's wife to death, pin Caleb's children to the tree to have them shot numerous times, and then they had Caleb killed, which started the sequence of events of Caleb turning into the Ghost Rider.
- He assisted in the raids of numerous settlements of African Americans and Native Americans, which involved hundreds of people getting murdered in total with the women getting gangraped.
- He came back to life as a spirit and helped to raid Pike's reach, which involved the mass rape of not only women, but children, causing Travis to throw up in horror of all that happened.
- He brutally killed Travis's lover, Jennie in front of Travis before tearing Travis's arm off, giving Travis severe PTSD and depression as he got older, which caused him to get into alcoholism indirectly.
- Unlike the rest of George Reagan's subordinates, he has personal villainy against Travis, which makes him stand out compared to the rest of Travis's gang.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- Despite all of the horrible crimes that he commits with George Reagan, he has standards against Cannibalism as he is genuinely shocked and disgusted that George Reagan would eat a human heart and he thinks that George Reagan's idea for immortality is crazy.
- He slightly fails the Heinous Standards to George Reagan, though this is minor since he is the only gang member (other than George Reagan) to have personal villainy against the main protagonists of the comics.
Trivia[]
- Nightshade is the only Near Pure Evil villain in the Ghost Riders: Trail of Tears comics.
