**Johnathon "Johnny" Blaze** a.k.a **Ghost Rider** is an American motorcycle stunt performer, and entertainer turned Spirit of Vengeance. He was the son of famed stuntman Barton Blaze who tragically died during a stunt. He became bound to Zarathos the Spirit of Vengeance after making a deal with the Demon Mephisto to spare the life of his father.

Now with the power to control Hellfire and to inflict pain on those he deemed evil with his Penance Stare, Blaze seeks vengeance riding his Hell Cycle as the **Ghost Rider**.

## Overview

Johnny Blaze was born the son of Barton Blaze and Naomi Kale and spent his formative years growing up among the Quentin Carnival. Both of Blaze's parents starred alongside in a motorcycle show. After the abandonment and later disappearance of his mother, Johnny continued his motorcycling stunts as he traveled across the United States, gaining quite the reputation as a result. However, his life took a turn for the worst when his father was killed in a motorcycling accident during one of his stunts.

However, Johnny discovered that his father's bike was tampered with leading him to deduce that this was an intentional sabotage and thus his father was murdered rather than it being an accident. Fueled by his desire to avenge his father, he beginning hunted down the last person who worked on his father's bike. Johnny traveled across the country in search of the killer of his father, but the very night a stranger proposes him to sell his very soul, in exchange of avenge.

Johnny transformed into Ghost Rider for the first time, causing him to believe that the flaming skulled skeletal being was a demonic manifestation of the evil within him as his body was set ablaze and looked as though it had been burnt down to the very bone only for Blaze to suddenly wake up and find himself laying on the road next to his bicycle thinking it may have been a nightmare.

Johnny subsequently found his father's killer, but his mindless desire for revenge began to take its toll and lead to his transformation as Ghost Rider to finally unleash his Repentant Gaze on man. Horrified by what happened, after Johnny regained control, he fled the scene and left his old life behind, while also unwittingly fulfilling his Ghost Rider duties.

Five years later, Johnny Blaze meets two more inexperienced Ghost Riders (Robbie Reyes and Alejandra Jones), whom John takes under his wing.
