Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ghost Rider is one of the earlier thriller heroes of the Marvel Universe, as in, heroes that deal with the underworld baddies like demons and the likes of Mephisto. The premise is basically: Badass Biker with a Flaming Skull for a Head. There are two famous Ghost Riders in the universe that the audience knows.The "first" Ghost Rider was a Western hero named Carter Slade. This character rode around on a white horse in an all-white getup. He was retroactively dubbed the Phantom Rider.The first true Ghost Rider is Johnathon "Johnny" Blaze, who first appeared in Marvel Spotlight #5 (August, 1972). A stunt motorcyclist who trained under his dead father's friend Craig "Crash" Simpson. He also became the fiancee of Crash's daughter Roxanne. His mother was alive, as well, but she abandoned him, taking away his brother Daniel and sister Barbara. Due to the abandonment, Johnny tended to suppress the memory about them, so it would seem life would be good for him...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Until one event where Johnny slipped off on his motorcycle stunt training, costing the life of Crash's wife, a mother figure to Johnny. This caused Johnny to swear off motorcycling, and deteriorated his relationship with Crash as Johnny refused to take public stunts, preferring to train in the shadows. Then, Crash revealed that he had cancer, but even then Johnny still refused. Trying to find a way out of his impasse, Johnny turned to the occult and eventually learned of a spell that could summon Satan. That spell summoned Mephisto (though it has recently been retconned to be Lucifer who made the deal with Johnny), whom Johnny asked to cure Crash's cancer. Mephisto upheld his bargain and cured Crash... only to have him die in an accident during the very next stunt he performed.Obviously, Mephisto demanded Johnny hold to his bargain and agree to become his slave... except Roxanne did a Big Damn Heroes and expelled Mephisto with The Power of Love. Unfortunately, Mephisto already bonded Johnny with the spirit of Zarathos, a vengeful demon (angel after the retcon) that he defeated in the past, turning him into the Ghost Rider. Both souls defied Mephisto, but eventually came to clash in who was to have control of the body. After much struggling, Johnny managed to seal the spirit of Zarathos and live in peace. For a short while, at least, until the next Ghost Rider appeared...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The second Ghost Rider is Daniel "Danny" Ketch, actually the brother of Johnny Blaze. He first appeared in Ghost Rider vol. 2 #1 (May, 1990). When attacked by thugs to protect his sister Barbara, a touch to his sister's pendant suddenly bonded him with a spirit Kale, turning him into the new Ghost Rider. Johnny took note of this and eventually became Danny's Big Brother Mentor of sorts in his adventures.It's eventually revealed that the Ghost Rider has quite another origin from what Johnny and Danny were told: the Spirits of Vengeance are black-ops agents for Heaven, and there have been multiple Spirits across the cultures of the world since Biblical times. Thanks to Zadkiel, though, there are now only two - Johnny and Danny.In the 2011 series, Blaze gave up the mantle of the Ghost Rider, letting Alejandra Jones become the new host of the Spirit of Vengeance. He would go on to try to mentor Alejandra but, at the end of that series would retake the mantle of Ghost Rider back with Alejandra only retaining a portion of its power.In March 2014, the All-New Ghost Rider series debuted. Featuring a new character, Robbie Reyes, taking on the eponymous mantle, Robbie uses a car instead of a motorcycle and lives in East Los Angeles. As opposed to mystical and demonic threats, Robbie's series largely focused on youth gang culture and living in the ghetto, though there were some mystical elements. Johnny Blaze eventually showed up in the series, inducting Robbie into the Ghost Rider family.As a part of Secret Wars (2015) Marvel announced a limited series called Ghost Racers, featuring Johnny, Danny, Alejandra, Robbie and Carter Slade participating in a death race.As part of the 2017 Marvel Legacy initiative, there was a Spirits of Vengeance miniseries, featuring a team of demonic heroes consisting of Johnny, Blade, Daimon Hellstrom and Satana.For the 2018 Marvel: A Fresh Start initiative, Robbie was announced as a member of The Avengers.As well, 2018 also saw the introduction of Cosmic Ghost Rider, a spin-off of a Thanos storyline earlier in the year, with a future version of Frank Castle who became the Rider who has gone mad, deciding to kill Thanos when he was a baby, only to realize that the kid isn't evil yet, so he decides to raise the kid himself, to, you know, not be a mass-murdering tyrant. Hilarity Ensues.Alternate universe versions of Ghost Rider:One of the more badass heroes of the Marvel 2099 setting was a deceased hacker, who got uploaded into a skeletal cybernetic body, with optional holographic flames. Ghost Rider 2099 was a moderate success, with a strong anti-authority message.Ultimate Ghost Rider is also named Johnathon "Johnny" Blaze, but is here an ordinary guy with a love of biking who was biking across the country with his new fiancee-turned-wife, Alicia, when they ran into a group of fellow bikers in a bar. They seemed friendly enough; they were actually Satanists who murdered Johnny and his wife in a ritual Human Sacrifice to achieve great wealth, power and success in their life thereafter. (It worked; one of them is vice-president of America by the time Ultimate Ghost Rider appears). In Hell, Johnny barters his soul to Satan and is transformed into Ghost Rider, appearing on Earth and resurrecting his former wife to live a happy life without him in exchange for killing first the Satanists who killed him, then any other sufficiently evil soul he can find, all to help empower Satan's army.Ghost Rider in other media:In 2007, a film featuring Johnny Blaze was released with a composite version of the character played by Nicolas Cage. It received a sequel called Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.After Marvel Studios regained the rights to the character, Robbie Reyes was introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2016, played by Gabriel Luna in Season 4 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Robbie's origin flashback in the series also features an unnamed biker Ghost Rider who's implied to be Johnny Blaze. | |

Strong as They Need to Be | |
| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_1228314a | comment |
Strong as They Need to Be: Originally, the idea for the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider was to become more powerful than the Blaze version he replaced. This happened and all was good. Then Blaze Rider came back and was for some reason, just as strong as the powered up Danny. Since it wasn't explained it makes some of Blaze's earlier comics seem silly when he struggles with much less demanding problems. | |

Nigh-Invulnerability | |
| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_1f7c89f6 | comment |
Nigh-Invulnerability: Ghost Rider fairly early on was portrayed as extremely difficult to kill, though it took Johnny Blaze at least some time to realize this. Bullets harmlessly pass through his skeletal form, superhuman punches just end up smashing against his unbreakable bones, and he has no organs, blood, or skin to make bruise and bleed, giving him effectively limitless combat stamina, so while he CAN be tossed around and beaten up, it just doesn't really do any long-term damage. However mystically-based attacks can and do hurt him. Unfortunately most of his enemies are as mystically oriented as himself. | |

Ancient Artifact: Two of the spirits of vengeance were bound to two shards of a medallion at one point. Danny Ketch met the caretaker because it was his job to keep an eye on the thing. It no longer drives any plots, having served its purpose but Caretaker stuck around. Also, Centurious had an item called the crystal of souls. | |

Everybody Hates Hades: Pluto is a villain in Marvel and part of the shared universe Ghost Rider lives in. It was only a matter of time before they clashed. Noble Kale also fought the Furies a couple times, but in that case they weren't portrayed as malicious villains so much as being really bad at their jobs. | |

Ruth is completely detached from the people she's supposed to be defending but hasn't gone far enough out of line to be demoted yet.

| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: Snowblind, a drug dealer granted super powers, which among super human strength, generating blinding light and resistance to psychic powers, allowed him to see. Unfortunately, to use some of his powers he had to use them all, and being able to see made him prey to Ghost Rider's Penance stare. Something he'd never have to worry about if he stayed blind and no, "psychic power resistance" did not help. Being a drug dealer is bad enough but he's worked for both Deathwatch and Blackheart, pretty much ensuring he will run into a Ghost Rider. | |

Affably Evil: Hoss, a redneck demon who hunts down other demons and wayward souls is pretty polite, even to the souls of victims he killed. He also tries to make Ghost Rider's stay in hell more pleasant. | |

Dark Is Not Evil | |
| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_575fd5e2 | comment |
Dark Is Not Evil: The dark force dimension is not an evil place, but Blackheart is and outside of Mephisto's realm it is where he is most powerful. For that matter, Mephisto's realm was not an evil place when Mephisto was removed from it (which is a difficult task, considering his very existence is tied to it but the angels eventually worked it out). And of course the titular hero himself. | |

Death Glare/Eye Beams: The Penance Stare (depending on how it's depicted), which inflicts its victims with all the pain that they have inflicted on the innocent. Unlike most Death Glares, it can kill if the target has caused enough pain and suffering on others. Those who live are sometimes demoralized enough to wish they had died. In the 90's Fantastic Four cartoon, Ghost Rider floored Galactus with it. | |

Story-Breaker Power | |
| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_8712e4c9 | comment |
Story-Breaker Power: Ghost Riders are not the most crossover friendly guys. First Blaze "only" lifted between 5-25 tons and "only" shot hellfire (which could be shrugged off by Physical Gods and the Undead, as if that was much weakness), then summoned an uncannily fast wall climbing motorcycle. Ketch had these plus the penance stare, an extending chain and undead killing fire. By Reborn Again a host-less spirit was breaking apart the streets of New York by accidentally cracking its chain too hard. Blaze later pulled a train without noticing, without even using the full power of the Ghost Rider. Later they attempted to justify this by making it so that Ghost Rider could be as powerful as necessary to get the job done. During the World War Hulk crossover event, Dr. Strange flat out calls the Ghost Rider the most powerful being on Earth. He then stated that it's the host of the spirit of vengeance that limits the entity simply by "being human". | |

Call It Karma | |
| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_88cefec2 | comment |
Call It Karma: The Penance Stare. If you look into GR's eyes while he's within an arm's reach of you, he can force you to experience every iota of pain you ever inflicted on others without cause in your entire life. Your average hood just realizes he should go home and rethink his life. A villain will be reduced to a vegetable - unless they don't have a soul. The latter means GR just slaughters them with his bare hands. An exception is a religious fanatic in service of Zadakiel, who has no supernatural means to protect himself from the Penance Stare, yet remained unaffected - his fanaticism was so strong even experiencing every single atrocity he ever committed couldn't make him realize he is anything but God's holy warrior. | |

Bat Family Crossover | |
| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_9736fbe0 | comment |
Bat Family Crossover: Back in the 90s, there were four series that were launched by an arc called Rise of the Midnight Sons (not surprisingly, Ghost Rider got two of the issues in that arc). The names of these series were Spirits of Vengeance, Morbius, Nightstalkers and Darkhold. There was also a comic that came out called Midnight Sons Unlimited, which came out once every four months. The two crossovers that happened between all of these series were Midnight Massacre and Siege of Darkness. Siege of Darkness is an interesting case since it also had two issues of Doctor Strange and four issues of Marvel Comics Presents in it. It ended in the fourth issue of Midnight Sons Unlimited, which led into Vengeance becoming the new Ghost Rider for four issues. Whew. | |

The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Zarathos and Noble Kale are limited by their human hosts, who have to consciously give in to them to operate as at full power. For Zarathos this was an annoyance until it was retconned to John Blaze's willing bond making him stronger but he still not allowed to really cut loose by Blaze more often than not. Noble Kale does not mind as much as he cannot control his power at all if he is on Earth without a host. | |

Cool Bike | |
| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_bb0197af | comment |
Cool Bike: One of the most triumphant examples. It's interesting to note that Johnny and Danny's bikes are of wildly different designs, yet are actually fairly on par when it comes to looking cool - Johnny's is of the Harley mold popular in the time the character was created, while Danny's is much more modern and in general much bulkier. A witch helped Blaze create his (in an attempt to lure him to Mephisto) while Danny's changed with him. | |

Color-Coded Characters: There was a decent enough reason in the story for Danny Ketch to end up bonded to a different spirit of vengeance but the real reason was so that the readers would have an easier time telling him and Blaze apart during the heaven arc. | |

Anti-Hero Substitute | |

Anti-Hero Substitute: In the 90s there was a short time when they tried to replace Ghost Rider with his Darker and Edgier counterpart and ex-enemy, Vengeance. Obviously, it didn't work, because you can't make somebody so dark much darker without coming out as ridiculous. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: So far we have not had a protagonist who was not. Johnny Blaze was at first the classical antihero who despite doing heroic things did not have a very desirable life. Zarathos is a Nominal Hero. Danny Ketch started as a Pay Evil unto Evil type but softened to I Did What I Had to Do as he decided the penance stare was a horrific thing to put people through and he really did not like killing people either. Noble Kale is another classical antihero and Alejandra is another pay evil onto evil type. | |

Weaksauce Weakness | |
| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_c09dbbbb | comment |
Weaksauce Weakness: Because the Penance Stare's ability to cause pain is so powerful, it has several of these. If the victim has more than two eyes, or are blind, Ghost Rider can't use it on them. It won't hurt people who do not have souls and if they can't actually feel pain it is worthless. It also will not work on lords of hell. And if the target has a penance stare too, he'll get it right back. It also backfires or is completely ineffective against the insane and those who are bonded with a symbiote. Ghost Rider's strong enough to beat most targets regardless but these at least make him do more than look at an opponent disapprovingly to beat him. | |

Our Spirits Are Different | |

Our Spirits Are Different: All the Ghost Riders except for John Blaze/Zarathos are vengeance spirits with human hosts. Zarathos manipulated the spirits of vengeance into helping him against his rival, Mephisto. Mephisto forced Zarathos to live like a Ghost Rider when the spirits wised up and deserted him. He eventually comes to like it though. | |

Unspoken Plan Guarantee | |
| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_c82e751f | comment |
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Basically applies to Ghost Rider's victory over Lucifer; one prior comic was focused on Johnny killing various Lucifer fragments while reflecting on a good idea he'd just had, but it wasn't until the final confrontation that the reader learned that this 'good idea' was to leave one Lucifer fragment in a paralysed, brain-dead state so that he could trick Lucifer into facing him at half strength and kill the two weakened Lucifers simultaneously. | |

Post-Modern Magik: Ghost Riders have triumphed over things such as enchanted drills designed to penetrate spirit barriers, demonic truck driving human traffickers and Well Intentioned Extremists trying to rid the Earth of sin by blasting it with hellfire from a space station. In some cases, anything The Ghost Rider utilizes is warped by his essence into something befitting his power. This extends from what he rides to what he weaponizes. | |

Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Water Wizard's powers were worthless against Ghost Rider, who didn't even pay him attention in most encounters. It took an ill fated deal with the Evil Sorcerer Moondark before he finally realized his time and resources were better spent doing something besides bothering Ghost Rider. Too bad his more practical activities got Ghost Rider's attention and motivated the spirit of vengeance to punish him for real. | |

Hollywood Satanism: The comic does at least does mention that not all satanists fit the Hollywood stereotype, but you'll hardly ever see the harmless variety and if you do, they will be quickly killed off by or converted into the Hollywood type.

Crossover | |
| Ghost Rider / Comicbook / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: Ghost Rider usually keeps to his own corner of the Marvel Universe, but Danny has been known as a member of "the New Fantastic Four", a brief replacement for the real FF made up of Marvel's most popular heroes: himself, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Hulk. Later there was a crossover with Alejandra, Venom (the Flash Thompson version), Red Hulk, and X-23 in an obvious New FF tribute. He finally joins the Capcom vs. roster in the Updated Re-release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Similarly to Doctor Strange, some of Ghost Rider's enemies popped up in the series long before hand. Blackheart appeared in three titles and an In Name Only Palette Swap version of Mephisto appeared in one of the games. The UMVC3 version of Ghost Rider is, going by in-game quotes, Johnny Blaze. (Specifically, when he uses his motorcycle-charge super move, he shouts, "Johnny Blaze rides again!" In addition, Dormammu's intro quote against him is "Never again will you defy my influence, Blaze.") He's also made a few cartoon appearances- a few in the 90s Marvel cartoons (a quick cameo in X-Men in Gambit's memories, a longer cameo in Fantastic Four (helping the FF and Thor to stop Galactus!), and a full-fledged Backdoor Pilot in The Incredible Hulk- he was also supposed to appear in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, but that didn't happen), and more recently in Hulk And The Agents Of Smash | |

Depending on the Writer: Whether it's Johnny or Zarathos calling the shots when Blaze transforms into Ghost Rider. Some stories have a clear split, with Johnny being just Johnny, and Zarathos being in full control of the Ghost Rider. Others have Johnny being in complete control in both forms, while still others have the two personalities fighting for control. The version that's most widely used is a sort of "unwilling partnership" detailed in The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body below. | |
