'''''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 Skulls|Flaming]] [[Skull for a Head]]. There are two famous Ghost Riders in the universe that the audience knows.
 
The first 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...

=== Ghost Rider provides the examples of: ===
 
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Skin Bender pesters John Blaze into becoming Ghost Rider, which she says is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen.
* [[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.
Line 114 ⟶ 111:
* [[Skull for a Head]]: One that's on fire, no less.
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: Vengeance and Buttview.
* [[Story-Breaker Power]]: Ghost Riders are not the most crossover friendly guys. First Blaze "only" lifted between 5-25 tons and "only" shot hellfire, summoned an uncannily fast wall climbing motorcycle and generated hellfire which undead and [[Physical GodsGod]]s could shake off(good luck to anything else). Then Ketch had the penance, 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.
* [[Strong as They Need to Be]]:Originally, the idea for the Dan 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 [[Retcon|some reason]], just as strong as the powered up Danny.
* [[Super Not-Drowning Skills]]: He can't drown and water can't put out hellfire.
