<B>Real Name:</B> Johnny Blaze
<B>Group Affiliation:</B> None
<B>Height:</B> 5'10"
<B>Weight:</B> 180 lbs.
<B>Eyes:</B> Blue
<B>Hair:</B> Reddish-Blonde
<B>Powers:</B> As the Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze is able to possess superhuman strength, enabling him to lift about 5 tons, as well as an immunity to must forms of conventional injury. He can also create "Hellfire" that is capable of harming or traumatizing a human soul, and with which he created a fiery motorcycle he rode. However, Blaze possesses none of these powers while he is in his human form.
In our reality, Johnny Blaze was accomplished amateur stunt motorcyclist who took interest in the occult and became romantically involved with his stepsister Roxanne Simpson. When his adoptive stepfather Crash Simpson learned that he was dying of a rare blood disease, Blaze performed a ritual to summon up the "devil," whom Blaze believed to be the Biblical Satan but was actually the demon lord Mephisto. Mephisto agreed to save Simpson from his fatal disease in return for Blaze's soul. When Mephisto appeared to collect Blaze's soul, Roxanne Simpson arrived and recited a spell of banishment she read in one of Blaze's occult books. Although Mephisto was forced to leave without Blaze's soul, but was able to graft the essence of the demon Zarathos to Blaze's body. Blaze became the Ghost Rider whenever he mystically sensed "evil" in his vicinity, mystically burning Blaze's flesh to become a fiery skeletal being. Using his demonic hellfire to create a fiery motorcycle to ride, the composite Zarathos became publicly known as the Ghost Rider, blood-born Spirit of Vengeance.
