DANNY KETCH GHOST RIDER SERIES

Personally i don't like the noble kale approach of the rider always being a whole other person as it left poor danny feeling like an extra in the 90's, and with kale not really getting a back story till like issue 80 it's just a little dry.īest dynamic for me is what johnny had in the way run and robbie had in his first run. Transforming doom the living planet (and using it to pull off a feat a hundred thors couldn't) and a celestial into it's rides, outracing the star brand, single handidly collapsing the god quarry.

DANNY KETCH GHOST RIDER SERIES

It's actually the second Ghost Rider series set in the past that Marvel has announced in as many days. His spirit is definitely the most singularly powerful as it's a unqiue one in the multiverse. Danny Ketch: Ghost Rider 1 (of 5) goes on sale May 17 with a cover by Ben Harvey. Robbie's spirit is called the all rider, towards the end of aaron's run it started exerting more and more control making it clear it wasn't robbie at the wheel. Kale has cameo'd a bunch since but that's it. Kale was unique in that the spirit he was bonded to was nameless/had no personality, and then when danny got the power kales spirit was there, basically his spirit and the rider were the same thing. So i wonder if zarathos having an identity at all comes from that, like starting out maybe he was blank and nameless like the others but being around for a while made him stronger/gave him an more defined identity.īanshee was possessed by a spirit of vengeance that chose to change and become a spirit of variance so it had autonomy as well. Interestingly enough in brisson's run when johnny absorbed a bunch of sin he started becomign more evil and growing horns just like zarathos looked. It seems to be that the spirits don't tend to have individual names though. Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Zarathos hasn't been a villain since the 90's, instead he's more of a heavy handed hero who prefers to avenge rather than save. Zarathos has a name and still possess blaze but isn't an antagonist and is usually referred to as the rider rather than zarathos. Then again, assuming a human host has been bonded to their Rider long enough to form that dependency, it would be that much more difficult for them to be pulled apart to begin with, though certainly not impossible.The spirit of vengeance is not a singular entity there are a lot, there on y being 1 at a time isn't a thing outside of the 90's. It might only be a matter of time before one of them comes to exploit that inherent weakness. Given how many nefarious forces there are between Earth, Heaven, and Hell, there are plenty who would want to see Johnny and his fellow Ghost Riders crushed under foot. That being the case, Danny's condition could easily inform the possible consequences should Johnny or any other full-time Ghost Rider lose their connection to Hell - which might just be more likely than any of them think.Īlthough a Ghost Rider being split back into two distinctly unique beings isn't a common occurrence in the Marvel Universe, it is one that has a precedent. Since their separations came either early in his career or during Johnny's short-lived reign over Hell itself, it makes sense he wouldn't have noticed any of these side effects. Howard Mackie got his start at Marvel during the late 1980s as an editor and then a writer. Even if Johnny isn't specifically bonded to a Spirit of Corruption, he has been bonded to his Spirit of Vengeance longer than any of his contemporaries. While this specific sort of dependency on bonding to a demon is a new development only revealed due to Danny's current circumstances, that doesn't mean it only applies to Danny.
