Get used to these creatures.You'll see them often. Either the Ghost Rider fights for him and destroys the rogue demons, or Johnny's girlfriend, Roxanne Simpson, is dragged into hell and possessed by Mephisto. This supposedly disrupts the delicate balance Mephisto has with heaven, so he offers Johnny a choice he can't refuse.
It appears that Mephisto's son, Blackheart, and a number of demons from Hell have escaped and are threatening to jumpstart the Apocalypse. However, the demon who acquired Johnny's Soul, Mephisto, has other plans for the Rider. Johnny Blaze, who sold his soul to save his father's life, transforms into the Ghost Rider whenever the blood of the innocent is spilled. His story ended with the conclusion of Trail of Tears, and it should probably stay that way.Well known comic book writers Garth Ennis and Jimmy Palmiotti wrote the story behind Ghost Rider, and set the action after the events of the film. While he hasn't been a major part of the Marvel universe since his debut, that's maybe for the best. The book heavily leaned into the horror aspects of the character of Ghost Rider, making him into a vengeful god seeking retribution for mortal crimes instead of a leather clad superhero. What separated Caleb from his peers was that he was NOT a superhero. Once resurrected, and reuniting with his best buddy Travis, the two proceeded to hunt down every member of the racist mob that tortured him and his family without remorse. Because in the world of Garth Ennis, every good action is met with a brutal one from the opposite end of the spectrum.įortunately for Caleb, this is exactly the kind of backstory the spirits of vengeance SALIVATE over, so he very quickly came back as his era's Ghost Rider. And then Caleb and his entire family were murdered by a lynch mob.
After nursing him back to health and helping him see the error of his old beliefs, the two parted as best friends. Set shortly after the American Civil War, Caleb was a former slave who risked his life to save a confederate soldier named Travis. The story of Caleb - as is the case with most Ghost Riders - is not the happiest one.
