History
Johnathan Blaze was a motorcycle-riding stunt driver who helped his adoptive father's stunt show. However, when he learned his father was dying of cancer, Johnny started to study occultism in an effort to save him and soon had a chance encounter with the demon Mephisto. The high-demon promised to heal Johnny's father from the cancer in exchange for his servitude, which Johnny accepted. While the demon kept his word, Johnny's father died in an accident shortly afterward, and one night after his passing, Mephisto transformed Johnny into a monster; a burning skeleton that could summon hellfire and merged with the demon Zarathos: the "Ghost Rider". However, instead of listening to Mephisto's commands, Johnny chose to rebel against the demon and decided to protect people from Mephisto and other hellish beings with his newfound demonic powers.
