Asmodeus is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Asmodeus is an extradimensional demon, subordinate to Mephisto, who has clashed on numerous occasions with the first Ghost Rider.

Asmodeus first appeared in Ghost Rider #53 (February 1981), and was created by Michael Fleisher and Don Perlin.

The character subsequently appeared in Ghost Rider #64 (January 1982), and #76 (January 1983).

In his first appearance, Asmodeus sends the demon Tabicantra to manipulate and otherwise destroy Ghost Rider and gain control over Zarathos. Tabicantra eventually turns against Asmodeus, helping the hero free himself from the demonic influence.

Asmodeus later captured Ghost Rider, but failed to gain control over Zarathos once again. Later, Asmodeus attempted to trick Mephisto into gaining control of Zarathos. However, Asmodeus failed, and was seemingly destroyed by Mephisto.
