Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze)

Johnathon Blaze, also known as Johnny Blaze and Ghost Rider, is one of the major characters from the Marvel Comics series.
== Charactah Account ==
Johnny Blaze, a former motorcycle stuntman, became bound to the Spirit of Vengeance known as Zarathos after making a deal with Mephisto to spare the life of his surrogate father. With the power to control hellfire and to inflict pain on those he deems evil with his Penance Stare, Johnny seeks vengeance as Ghost Rider.
Johnny Blaze was once a thrillseeker, eagerly participating in his family's stunt carnival and growing to love the risk of the activities performed for the sake of entertainment. Though young and reckless, he cared deeply for those close to him, most especially for Roxanne.
As the Ghost Rider, Johnny recently has gained powers that are similar if not the same as Danny Ketch, but probably his most notable is the use of the "Penance Stare" — the ability to cause others to experience a level of emotional pain equivalent to that which they have caused others as a result of illegal or immoral activities.

== Trivia ==
* He actually started off as a classical anti-hero back in the 70s, with Zarathos being solely responsible for the Ghost Rider's crueler acts.
* When he returned as a depowered, shotgun-wielding badass normal in the 90s, Johnny was re-imagined as a jaded, more cynical demon hunter, utilizing harsher methods to dispose of his enemies, sometimes with sadistic glee. These traits would persevere in most of his modern-day portrayals, to the point where it's sometimes hard to distinguish who is currently on the driver's seat, him or Zarathos.
* Taken to a new level in the 2019 series, which sees Johnny adopting an unforgiving, cruel attitude as the King of Hell.
* It's heavily implied that the more he spends time in Hell, the more evil he grows, thanks to the throne's demonic influence over him.
