Stand ye back, foolish mortals, lest I summon forth the powers of Hell itself to repel your puny attacks!
It--it's working! A stream of fire from my finger--creating a--a flaming motorcycle! But how long can I hold it? My brain's reeling-- with exhaustion!
No, Rocky. I didn't. But, no, Mr. Barnett, your son isn't okay. But why should he be any different from the rest of us? Now if you'll excuse me...I've got to do a favor for a buddy.
The curse--and the power--of the Ghost Rider are mine--for keeps. I guess it all depends on what I do with it.
All right, Jack! If you want the Ghost Rider so bad--I'll give you the Ghost Rider--and soon you will regret challenging the hellspawned might of the Spirit of Vengeance!
I am more than Johnny Blaze...and less! For I am also the Ghost Rider! And wherever Blaze rides...there ride I, waiting to wreak my vengeance!
I know not from what nether-worldly cesspool you have crawled, vile thing! But it matters not! For there breathes not a creature in any realm--that can withstand the full, awesome might of the Ghost Rider--or survive for long beneath my onslaught!
Rash fools! They believe me a mere human! They shall pay the price for having dared challenge... The Ghost Rider!
Appear... Prince of Darkness! Your humble servant beckons! Through time eternal, through endless space, I beg thee... journey to this place.
You have seen the power of my flame to burn, to melt physical substance...but that is the least of the Ghost Rider's power! For my hellfire is that of the fiery pits! If I so desire--mine is the power to char the man's soul, without singeing a hair on his head. And I so desire.
By the way, my name is John Blaze -- and I'm either going to kill the Ghost Rider, or I'm going to have to kill you!
Are you suffering, Zarathos? Suffering like all the poor souls who were on the receiving end of your hellfire? It's your turn to experience some pain.
That's it, vermin -- flee! Flee before the wrath of the Ghost Rider! It will make your capture so much more satisfying!
I made a deal with the Devil a long time ago. I lived to regret it. This had to end tonight... for my family!
You call them freaks, outcasts... in this carnival no one is an outcast. We're all family here! And I'm mighty protective of this family!
I promised Roxanne I'd quit smoking... it's a dangerous habit... as opposed to waiting for a maniac who wants to gut me?
Come on. We've got some lilin to kill. And Centurious and his people are going to pay for what they did to me. Pay in a big way!
I mean, I don't exactly know why the Spirit of Vengeance likes to hang out with--or, well, in me...but it's kinda cool, don'tcha think?
You're both as bad as each other! You're monsters! Heaven and Hell, angels and demons, you're exactly the same! Nothing but tyrants! Psychopaths! Sadists! Cruel, heartless filth, playing your twisted games with humanity! Damn your bottomless black souls, you made me no more than a pawn!
Hope. It's the Devil's favorite poison. He dangles it in front of me... gets me to run for it... only to snatch it away at the very last moment. And I fall for it every... damn... time.
When I finally escaped Hell, I brought the Devil with me. It just doesn't get any more wrong than that.
The pain is like nothing I've ever felt before--it feels like my soul is actually on fire. And somehow, I know that the only way it will ever stop... is if I let it out.
I know that if you keep on beatin' on me, somethin' bad is gonna happen. And I'm not gonna be able... to stop it.
I know what it's like to have... something inside you that just wants vengeance, no matter what the cost -- but you can control it!
You're bluffing. You won't do it. Because that would be suicide. A sin that would damn you to Hell. Again.
You're Blackout, the vampire whose power is to turn all the lights out, right? You're like the clapper, but with fangs.
You know nothing of Hell, mutant. Now gather your strength... because tonight, I am going to show you how to kill a demon.
I don't feel any different. We beat Zadkiel. We got our revenge. But I don't feel any different. It still sucks to be me.
Do you know what hellfire feels like, Fisk? Like all your sins come home to roost. All the wounds you've gouged in others brought back on yourself. And the "Kingpin of Crime" likes causing pain the same way he likes baby back ribs, yeah? Extra portions. So, tell me...what are you scared of?
Momma always said I'd go like this if I didn't change my ways... Stretched between a dead cyborg motorbike and a really bitter cyborg motorbike, impaled on the tip of a bullet train in the Japanese badlands.
You did right by these people, Alejandra. All of them. Put the sin back into them, sure. But that don't make them bad. Just made them whole again. Everyone's got good and bad in them. Up to us how we use it.
You sure you guys don't want to get Dr. Strange or Brother Voodoo or somebody? Spells were never my speciality. I'm more of an ass-kicker type.
"Search my soul." That's a laugh. I checked mine at the door years ago. Ain't a thinker. I'm a doer. I get my best thinking done when I get my heart rate up. When I let him steer? I can be a regular philosopher.
If you give in to despair, and let your negative feelings get the best of you, Eli Morrow will take over, once again, and he will hurt the ones closest to you.
Remember, Robbie Reyes... harness your rage... coexist with the demon but maintain your humanity... and unleash the unrelenting wrath of vengeance upon your enemy... like a Ghost Rider!
An exorcism? Heh. What, did you think you could just throw away the Spirit of Vengeance? That ain't how this works, kid. But don't worry, I'll take it off your hands. The Ghost Rider way. I'll race you for it.
Had no idea all those years back... when I smeared a pentagram on my chest and called forth the Devil. When I traded my soul to save the man who'd been like a father to me. When I damned myself to an eternity spent in servitude to that bastard Mephisto. Back then... I never once thought... that all this time later... I'd rise through the ranks from servant... to King of Hell.
Why would I let you go? Freedom is for the reformed. If you were truly repentant -- truly changed -- you would not have damned human souls for your own gain. You would not have destroyed their lives. You would not have sent others to suffer the same fate you are trying to escape. All you have proven is that you are not rehabilitated. That you have learned nothing. That there is only one place for you... Hell. The Damnation Stare will decide your fate. If you truly deserve to be here -- to be forgiven -- it will have no effect on you. But if you aren't... then... back to where you belong.
I feel like Hell, but when you find Nightmare or that cannibal wizard, have Strange look me up... I owe them for the sleepless nights.
When that hellstorm of fire descends on me, I realize...I'm about to trade one prison for another. When he takes me over, my whole body feels like a flaming nest buzzing with hot angry wasps, and I shrink down to a black speck at the center.
There's a part of me that wants to pretend I don't know how all these broken pieces fit together. Because I can already feel him sparking inside me. But I've never been one to drive by an accident. I might be able to swallow down my own pain, but I can't abide seeing others wrestle with hurt. I know better than anyone. Most people have an outside face--the mask they offer to the world...and then an inside face--the raw and naked part of them they only reveal behind closed doors. Sometimes, the inside face is timid and vulnerable. Sometimes, it's terrifying. But it's always true. The dark places are where the true face hides.
Time will put its mark on me more than I'll ever put a mark on time. But right now, while I'm here, I'm going to do my damnedest to honor the ones who came before me. To protect the innocent, to keep on fighting through the long days and the longer nights. Those who survive, carry the dead with us. Which means my legacy will one day belong to somebody else. There are no beginnings or ends, so even if people won't remember my name in a thousand years...my spirit will endure.
We'd rather not recognize or wrestle with the shadows inside us, the shadows that are the bedrock of this country. But if we pretend they're not there, they'll eventually poison us.
This isn't about one man or one demon or one anything. It's about all of us. Everyone and everything has a shadow. Even this country. That's why we're here.
These days, the only thing that scares me... is how many I'll destroy before it's time for me to go. Because I'm always one gear-shift away from doing terrible, terrible things.
We don't need Hellfire or chains or a Penance Stare to fight. And we're not gonna stand by as passengers... in someone else's blood quest. Even if we're on fumes... even if it kills us... we're going down swinging.
The Rider... he wants out. There's been too much innocent blood spilled. He's getting impatient. And so am I.
He was in a dark place, but he came back stronger. Parker Robbins. The Hood. It is clear now that this is beyond Johnny's abilities or yours. Halloween is a night for monsters.
Eli Morrow, is it? You murderous, sadistic, unrepentant Satanist! I've seen the foulest of souls... mortal and immortal alike. But nothing like yours, Morrow. You'll repent for the decades of suffering and torture you brought upon the innocent.
Every night the foulest creatures imaginable hound me from one end of the inferno to the other! I ride through fire and blades and swamps of rotting flesh, I immerse myself in caverns filled with blood like veins-but I can't shake them off! And every night they tear me to shreds!
- —Hell
Roulette | Ride, Blaze--Ride! But no matter how fast or how far you ride, know that all paths lead to doom--when Roulette's Wheel of Death comes to a stop! |
Ghost Rider | Don't put any bets on it, demon-filth! I'll rip a trail straight through Hell to save Rocky! |
Satan | An impressive display, mortal...which doesn't alter the fact that I have come for your soul! |
Ghost Rider | I'll fight you, Satan--For all eternity if need be--but you'll never claim my soul! |
Satan | Cretin! It is already mine! |
Mona Simpson | This agony is of your own making, Johnny! |
Johnny Blaze | Mona! |
Mona Simpson | Freedom can be yours if you simply realize that your life's defeats and disappointments have been more than balanced by acts both decent and worthy--none more so than your constant struggle to hold the Ghost Rider in check! How many countless innocents have been saved by your ceaseless striving for control? |
Johnny Blaze | I wish I could accept that, Mona...but everything I've seen here--all that the Ghost Rider and the others said...it's true. |
Mona Simpson | If guilt is all you understand, Johnny Blaze--then it's guilt you'll have! For if you continue to lay here, consumed by your past, you will bring the most awful guilt of all down upon your head! You will have set the Ghost Rider free in the world with no constraints; no humanity or compassion to temper his inhuman fury! And that is a burden you will have to bear--till time's end! |
Johnny Blaze | No! I can't be responsible for that! And I won't be! |
Numecet | How dare you--! |
Ghost Rider | I want answers! |
Numecet | You want vengeance! |
Ghost Rider | Exactly. |
Numecet | You poor soul... do you not know where that path ultimately leads? |
Ghost Rider | Yeah. I do. I've been there... and back. And I brought the devil with me. |
Ghost Rider | Look into my eyes, Wade Wilson...and feel the pain of penance long overdue. |
Deadpool | What...the #$%& are you talkin' about?! |
Ghost Rider | My penance stare will reveal all of your past sins to you. You will see through the eyes of those you have wronged, those you have destroyed. |
Deadpool | Heh...so, like a highlight reel? |
Ghost Rider | Yes. |
Deadpool | Well, what're you waitin' for? Roll the #$&%#& tape. |
Ghost Rider | And the red thing? You guys are all in red. |
Venom | This is sort of Ross' thing, and he's the Red Hulk, so... All we need to do now is recruit Daredevil, I guess. |
Ghost Rider | I hate that dude. |
Venom | Huh? Why? He's a good guy. |
Ghost Rider | Maybe he is, but I'm the damn motorcycle stunt jumper. I should be Daredevil. He's probably an accountant or something in real life. |
Ghost Rider | I hate everything about this. Choosing the devil you know over the devil you don't... is still choosing a devil. |
Death Rider | I know. I know that this isn't the ending you wanted. It's messy and we all hoped it could go a different way. But sometimes you have to take what you can get. The important thing is... ...we never stop fighting. |
Ghost Rider | Jokes. Jokes. Jokes. You and Spider-Man and all the rest. A copy of a copy of a copy. |
Human Torch | Technically, I was first, so... |
