** Robbie/Ghost Rider and S.H.I.E.L.D, especially Daisy and Mack. She started off thinking he was an Inhuman serial killer, and he found her to be a nuisance to his Ghost Ridering, and they actually fought twice before starting to work together to investigate his uncle's connection to Lucy Bauer. Likewise, Mack thought the same thing as Daisy and was less sympathetic as he doesn't really believe Ghost Rider to be a separate entity from Robbie, or that Robbie cannot always control it. Once the Spirit of Vengeance [[spoiler: went into him]], he started to bond with Robbie, knowing full well how terrifying being a Ghost Rider really was.
