![]() In 2014, as part of one of their reboots, Marvel started a new Ghost Rider series, written by Felipe Smith, drawn by Tradd Moore and colored by Nelson Daniel and Val Staples. But upon investigating a bit further, and now having seen the season premiere, the Ghost Rider that is going to be featured isn’t the classical one we know and love but instead it will be Robbie Reyes. Honestly, the Johnny Blaze version didn’t fit. So when Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD made the pronouncement that Ghost Rider would be prominently featured in the fourth season of the show, it was a bit of a head scratcher. But the motorcycle riding Johnny Blaze is the most famous one, namely because of the film depictions where Ghost Rider is portrayed by Nicolas Cage. The character even goes farther back to the era of the American Wild West in Marvel history.

In his spare time, you can find him entertaining kids as Spider-Man or Darth Vader at birthday parties or scaring the heck out of them at haunted houses.

At one point, Doctor Strange claimed the Ghost Rider was possibly on a power level comparable to the Hulk’s “Green Scar” form – a Hulk capable of starting earthquakes simply by walking. Nevertheless, Zarathos would occasionally exert greater control over Johnny Blaze, causing the Ghost Rider to become more violent – and more powerful. Naturally, Mephisto didn’t want his prisoner to access his full strength – so when he was bonded to mortals like Johnny Blaze, the mortal acted as a limiter on Zarathos’ power, allowing him to tear apart people’s souls on a much smaller scale than before. To top it all off, he’s immortal and unable to be killed or harmed except by the most powerful of cosmic beings. His physical strength far exceeds anything he displayed as Ghost Rider, he can conjure thunderstorms, shoot bolts of lightning, and even create earthquakes at a whim. Indeed, it’s been established that Zarathos grows even stronger as he consumes more souls – and considering how many souls he ate during his heyday, his true power is literally immeasurable. While Mephisto was able to defeat Zarathos, the very fact that the demon was able to battle the Lord of Hell at all certainly shows how powerful he once was. In fact, Mephisto captured Zarathos’ essence largely because he felt the demon was depriving the Lords of Hell of their fair share of souls. ![]() Eventually he became worshipped by a Native American tribe for vanquishing their enemies in exchange for a steady diet of souls. Before Zarathos was bonded to Johnny Blaze, he was a demon feared among other demons. So, given all of this, how exactly is Ghost Rider weak? Well, he’s not… but he could be a whole lot stronger. The bike can even move independently of Ghost Rider, allowing him to launch multi-prong attacks at his foes. Not only is the Ghost Rider unbelievably fast and maneuverable on the motorcycle, the bike can do literally impossible things – like ride straight up buildings or cruise on top of water. While different Ghost Riders have conjured up different mystical vehicles, virtually all of them have displayed insanely high-power levels. Then there’s the Ghost Rider’s Hell Cycle.
