The first man to
become Ghost Rider was stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze. In order to save the
life of his mentor, Johnny agreed to give his soul to Mephisto. Instead, his
soul bonded with the entity called Zarathos. When utilizing Zarathos' powers,
Blaze's flesh is consumed by hellfire, causing his head to become a flaming
skull. He rides a fiery motorcycle and wields trademark blasts of hellfire
from his skeletal hands. He starred in the series from 1972-1983. The second Ghost
Rider series (1990–98) featured Danny Ketch as a new Ghost Rider. After
his sister was injured by ninja gangsters, Ketch came in contact with a
motorcycle which had somehow been mystically enchanted to contain the essence
of a "Spirit of Vengeance".
The Ghost Rider is a human who can transform into a being with a flaming skull
gains supernatural powers. The motorcycles he rides can travel faster than
conventional motorcycles and can perform seemingly impossible feats such as
riding up a vertical surface, across the surface of water and leaping across
great distances that normal motorcycles could not match. The Ghost Riders are
notoriously hard to injure by any conventional means, as bullets and knives
usually pass through them without causing pain. It is possible that they are
genuinely immortal; it is said that God created them and only God can destroy
them. The Ghost Riders possess superhuman strength, enough to easily pick up a
truck and hurl it across a room. It has been stated that Johnny Blaze as Ghost
Rider can press around 25 tons.

I have a few
badass Ghost Rider figures in my figure collection, although I'm not a huge fan of his. My
favorite part about his design is how sinister he looks, yet he's still a
"hero". ;) Ghost Rider's story and concept is cool no doubt, and for an old school
Marvel character, he still looks
pretty badass.
His UMVC3 appearance is well done. Dormammu's
in-game "flaming head effects" looked pretty awesome in the first
MVC3, so it makes sense that Capcom would rehash the effects and throw Ghost
Rider into UMVC3... why not!? :D Ghost Rider's moveset is well designed and he
offers a unique gameplay style to the game. Finally, his Level 3 super is especially badass... "Look into my
eyessss!!!" >:) lol.
