[Respect] Johnny Blaze, Ghost Rider (Marvel 616)

###Respect Johnny Blaze the Ghost Rider

"I made a deal with the Devil. Big surprise. It didn't exactly work out in my favor."

Johnny Blaze was a motor cycle stuntman who made a deal with Mephisto to save the life of his mentor. Mephisto bonded the spirit Zarathos to Johnny and they became the Ghost Rider. Zarathos is an angel twisted by Mephisto into a demon spirit.

The host acts a "safety" and limits the Ghost Rider's power so I'm going to split some sections up according to what Johnny has done while in control of the spirit and what the spirit has done while in control. Generally Johnny is in control, but he can choose to let the Spirit steer when he is facing a stronger opponent

###Penance Stare

Requirements:

• The target must have a soul
• The target must be able to see

How it works

• The penance stare causes you to feel all of the pain, agony, and torment of your innocent victims. However don't think a hero is safe just because they are a good guy. The spirit is very thorough and all life is a sin through the eyes of the spirit of vengeance.
• Here he uses it on an angel who had lied and it destroyed him

###Motorcycle

Johnny Blaze rides a more classic motorcycle except for the fuel

Power:

• Crashes into an enemy machine destroying it

• Rides right through a van destroying it

• Rides through a Bus

• Rides into some enemy monsters to destroy them

Speed:

• Johnny races Danny around the world during the course of a battle. They leave a battle in the first panel and pass multiple different landscapes (water, pyramids, jungle) by the time Danny says the battle is ending. Super speed has always been a function of the bikes, but this is probably an outlier because that would need them to be traveling at least the speed of sound.

• Catches up to and passes an enemy vehicle by riding along the wall

• The bike easily passes over some police vehicles in pursuit of some murderers

Miscellaneous

• The motorcycle can increase in size like here where it's grown larger to destroy more ghosts
• The motorcycle can act on its own. Here the bike jumps to catch a falling Johnny Blaze
• The bike coming to Johnny on its own
• Space bike

• Summons a firestorm that strikes a nearby farm

• The air, the earth, and dimensional walls quake before the rage of Zarathos
• He can teleport himself and others 1, 2
