History
Many thought the Ghost was only a myth spread around the hacker culture and conspiracy theorists. He has been said to be a disgruntled former executive, or an engineer gone insane. As many companies found out, the Ghost is very real. He is a dangerous individual who will sabotage companies and steal secrets because he enjoys it. The money he makes goes into supplies.
Roxxon Oil hired Ghost to attack Accutech. Since Accutech was going to become part of Stark Industries, Iron Man investigated and was able to defeat him.
Roxxon felt he was too much of a liability and let him go. They secretly sent Spymaster to kill him. However, Ghost gave Spymaster one of his intangibility circuits then turned it off while Spymaster was partially through a wall, killing him.
The Ghost returned with improved stealth to destroy a beta particle generator Stark had designed. However, the sheer heat of the generator began to damage both Iron Man and Ghost. The Ghost fled by melting through floors. With only melted remains of a costume, it was assumed he perished.
The Ghost again improved his tactics and targeted Justin Hammer. However, Hammer had prepared for Ghost with a synthetic material that he seemed unable to phase through.
The Ghost was responsible for the "YOUDAMAN" e-mail virus, which contained a signal to detonate remote bombs. He allied himself with AIM looking to cause worldwide chaos. He was defeated when Iron Man adapted his force field to circumvent his intangibility and then hurled him into MODOK.
Ghost was hired by Spymaster to seize Living Laser, but was unsuccessful.
