Ghost Rider is the name of multiple fictional superheroes or antiheroes appearing in Marvel Comics. The most well-known Ghost Rider is Johnny Blaze, a motorcycle stunt performer who made a deal with the demon Mephisto to save his foster father's life, resulting in his soul being bonded to the spirit of vengeance, Zarathos. When he is in or near evil, his flesh is consumed by hellfire, transforming his head into a flaming skull, and he rides a fiery motorcycle. He possesses immense supernatural powers, wielding hellfire in attacks, and can inflict the "Penance Stare" on targets. Other notable Ghost Riders include Danny Ketch, Robbie Reyes, and Kushala, who each obtained the powers of Ghost Rider at different times and in different stories. These characters have diverse backgrounds and abilities, but are all closely tied to vengeance and supernatural power. Ghost Rider is often portrayed as an antihero, with the goal of punishing evildoers and maintaining the balance between the living and hell. In addition to comics, Ghost Rider has appeared in films, TV shows, and video games, gaining widespread popularity in pop culture.
