Ghost Rider (film)/Awesome

Comics

 * Near the beginning of writer Jason Aaron's run on Ghost Rider, Ghost Rider has one. Well, a bunch, but this one in particular stands out. Ghost Rider has been fighting an escaped prisoner named The Deacon, a hulking behemoth who brutally murders people in the name of God. Ghost Rider has been getting the crap kicked out of him the entire fight... even his Penance Stare had no effect as The Deacon felt no remorse for killing "sinners". Finally, knocked to the ground and about to have a giant knife shoved into him, Ghost Rider holds up a very large Bible to defend himself. The Deacon stops and protests that Ghost Rider can't use the Bible as a weapon. Ghost Rider's response? He smacks him in the face with the book, then proceeds to beat him into unconsciousness with it.
 * So Ghost Rider has this whole arc where Lucifer himself has escaped Hell, his soul divided into 666 pieces and possessing that many recently deceased bodies. GR has to kill them one by one, but each time he does so, the remaining ones get stronger, which would leave the final one in full possession of his demonic powers. How does Ghost Rider beat him? He cheats. He left one of the hosts brain dead, but kept the body alive, so when the time came to face the "final" Lucifer, he was only at half power.
 * Beating Death itself in a motorcycle race. By kicking her into a ravine.
 * Danny and Johnny stand alone against Zadkiel, who has usurped the throne of God and is essentially all-powerful. Hopeless, you say? EVERY GHOST RIDER THAT HAS EVER EXISTED would like to disagree.
 * Also, during World War Hulk, Johnny allows the spirit of the Ghost Rider to take full control. It looks like the Hulk's about to get his giant green butt handed to them, but GR simply rides away. Tony Stark wonders why this is, and knows that GR could've defeated the Hulk handily. Reed Richards says that it's because there are no innocents to avenge... except the Hulk himself, realizing with great terror that Ghost Rider's coming for them.

Ghost Rider

 * While an otherwise mediocre film, Ghost Rider has one sequence that makes cheer every time: Carter Slade's last ride.
 * The scene before it is also made of awesome, Slade mounts his horse and changes. Blaze asks four words, "Can you keep up?" His horse changes as well to answer "I think I should be asking YOU that!" And then the two of them blazing across the desert with "Ghost Riders in the Sky" in the background is the high point of the movie.
 * There is the scene of where the Rider rides straight up a building wall and then jumps before snaring his chain to swing away.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

 * Spirit of Vengeance has something even better. You know that giant saw-bladed monstrosity a picture of which has made the rounds on the internet? That's a coal mining machine. Perfectly reasonable for it to be in a quarry where arms dealers meet. Ghost Rider notices it has a cockpit... awesomeness then ensues.
 * 's Dying Moment of Awesome near the end of the second film -- Blackout is disintegrating his body, but rather than panic or scream, he merely delivers a Facing the Bullets One Liner and then headbutts Blackout so hard that his own head smashes apart. Blackout looks sufficiently stunned afterwards.
 * Carrigan has one even before that. He went and tried to nuke Ghost Rider. TWICE. He even does so with a normal grenade launcher.
 * Wrapping the Devil himself in a chain and slamming him all the way through the earth and straight into Hell certainly qualifies.

Animated

 * In the Fantastic Four animated series of the 90s, he gets a guest spot. When the heroes fail to deal with Galactus, Ghost Rider made him experience all the suffering he'd caused... and Galactus has caused a decent amount of suffering in his millennia. Galactus screams in agony and falls to the ground. Ghost Rider, 1; the ancient and all-powerful devourer of worlds who outclasses pretty much the whole world's superhero and villain community put together, zero.
