Talk:Ghost Rider VS Lobo/@comment-39801929-20190724191228

Actually pretty excited for this. Going with THE MAIN MAN for this one.

Lobo’s healing factor is absolutely insane, he’s regenerated from just being a whisp of his soul in the past, no chance in hell or heaven Johnny can put Lobo down with physical attacks. The penance stare seems like the perfect solution then, right? Well, maybe not. Again, the penance stare is VERY inconsistent with how it works. There’s the infamous Punisher example, but pretty recently Blaze tried to use the stare on Carol Danvers, and well, this happened

But let’s assume the stare does work on Lobo. After all, he fucking murdered his entire planet. Even then, it wouldn’t put him down. The way the stare works is by attacking you with hellfire proportional to your sins, directly targeting the soul. Lobo has tanked hellfire which affects your soul before, and he was fine. The stare is nothing new to him. The stare isn’t a one-shot in the first place, if doesn’t instantly destroy your soul, and people have been affected by the stare but kept on fighting before.

That’s not to mention how Lobo outclasses Blaze in stars, simply comparing him to they kryptonians he tussles with regularly puts him way above what regular old Johnny can do. As for Zarathos (the spirit who Johnny Blaze is possessed by and sometimes takes control of the body), he still isn’t strong enough. All we really know about him power-wise is that he was competing with World War Hulk and that Strange is scared of him, but that’s still weaker than what Lobo can dish out.
