Ghost Rider – Antihero

The Bounty hunter of the devil himself, named the Ghost Rider, for being spiritually possessed, and for driving/riding on hell on wheels (sometimes hoofs) – transportation that turns along with the host of the Rider.

A comic character originally and acted later by Nicolos Cage in the 2007 movie, Johney Blaze makes a deal with satan in an attempt to save his stunt bike performer dad’s life. He only asks for A small thing in return – his soul. Having never seen any old horror movie in his life (a joke that is later mentioned in the sequel) he signed the contract.

Years later, having left most of his old life as a circus performer, Johney is doing well for himself, still contuing his stunt biking. But thats whats bothering him. After numerous close calls, his alive. “You’ve got A guardian angel!” his friend says. A mutter from Johney follows “..or maybe its something else..”

Discovering the powers of the Rider and learning more about the legends, it is known that it is an enslaved demon that is responsible for bringing the souls of the damned down to hell. He’s essentially being forced to work for a devilish fiend, so he’s quite relatable to any working man. As if that wasent enough to class him as an antihero, his soul sucking is usually done by burning out the life of the evil doers through their eyes- his penance stare, the Rider’s most powerfull weopon.

Closely following Johney Blaze’s battle, burns also one inside him, to which he loses love and friends to both. He considers himself A monster so long as this curse is his to burden. But if this is HIS curse, he will claim it.
