5 Most Powerful Versions of Ghost Rider, Ranked

by

Ghost Rider is a popular Marvel character known as the Spirit of Vengeance, dedicated to punishing the guilty and sending them to Hell. However, ‘Ghost Rider’ isn’t just one person – it’s a title that’s been passed down for centuries. As long as there’s a need for justice, a Ghost Rider will appear, riding a vehicle powered by hellfire to hunt down wrongdoers. These Riders are incredibly powerful, fueled by their righteous anger and the fires of Hell. Throughout history and across the universe, many have held the title, but a select few stand out as the most powerful and significant.

Even a typical Ghost Rider is incredibly powerful, with abilities straight from Hell. They can unleash hellfire, destroy structures, summon endless chains, and quickly heal from almost any wound. They can also supercharge vehicles with hellfire, making them much stronger and faster. Of course, the most famous Ghost Rider ability is the Penance Stare, which forces someone to experience all the pain they’ve ever caused. But some Ghost Riders have become even more powerful, making them the most terrifying Spirits of Vengeance.

5) Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze)

Johnny Blaze was the original Ghost Rider in Marvel comics, and his story set the standard for supernatural revenge. He made a deal with the devil, Mephisto, which bound him to the powerful demon Zarathos. This fusion gave Johnny incredible abilities – he’s accomplished feats like inflicting the Penance Stare on an entire city, battling the Avengers to a draw, destroying mountains, and even almost defeating Doctor Strange. He’s also triumphed over some of the most fearsome demons, including Mephisto himself and Null the Living Darkness. At one point, Johnny briefly ruled as the King of Hell, dramatically increasing his power. He also developed the Damnation Stare, an attack that instantly sends anyone it touches straight to Hell.

4) Spirit Rider

Kushala, also known as Spirit Rider, was an incredibly powerful hero – both a Ghost Rider and the Sorcerer Supreme. Born as an Apache woman in the 1800s, she became a Spirit of Vengeance to defend her people against the U.S. Army. After successfully driving back the invaders, Kushala traveled the world, mastered all kinds of magic, and ultimately became the Sorcerer Supreme, reaching a power level comparable to Doctor Strange. She can move freely through time and space, bring people back from the dead, resist mental manipulation, and even inhabit the bodies of her ancestors. Kushala’s feats include creating a lasso made of stars, causing earthquakes during a battle with Johnny Blaze, and defeating and consuming the multiversal demon Leviathan to increase her power. Remarkably, even when Doctor Doom completely erased her from existence, she was able to restore herself simply by force of will.

3) Cosmic Ghost Rider

On a devastated Earth, Frank Castle, known as the Punisher, underwent a radical transformation, becoming both the Ghost Rider and a Herald of Galactus after Thanos nearly extinguished all life. Now armed with a broken piece of the Time Stone, chains forged from the remains of an ancient god, and a Hell Cycle capable of instantaneous intergalactic travel, Frank is a force of almost limitless power. Combining the Spirit of Vengeance with the Power Cosmic, he struggles to control his abilities, fearing he’ll accidentally destroy any world he lands on. He’s already conquered Avengers Mountain, completely destroyed Annihilus’ invading army with hellfire, wiped out all the heroes from another reality, and utterly annihilated Thanos, body and soul, using a devastating Cosmic Penance Stare.

2) Galactus Rider

Galactus, a being of immense power who consumes planets and wields the Power Cosmic, recently underwent a shocking transformation. After Mr. Sinister manipulated time in an attempt to control the future, Galactus sought revenge. This desire for vengeance grew so strong that he bonded with the Spirit of Vengeance, becoming a cosmic Ghost Rider. This new form dramatically increased his already incredible powers. Now, Galactus can unleash devastating Hellfire on entire planets and beyond, all while still possessing his original abilities like absorbing energy, sensing the universe, resurrecting himself, manipulating souls, using telekinesis, and warping reality.

1) All-Rider

While Robbie Reyes is currently the second most well-known Ghost Rider, he’s predicted to become the strongest Spirit of Vengeance ever. Brought back to life by a demonic uncle after being murdered, Robbie became the new Ghost Rider. As an Avenger, he discovered his fate is to evolve into the All-Rider – a multiversal being of immense power. Robbie possesses the unique ability to transform anything into a vehicle using hellfire, and he’s demonstrated this by controlling objects like symbiotes, a Hellicarrier, a deceased Celestial, Silver Surfer’s board, and even an entire planet. He can also travel between dimensions and withstand threats that endanger the entire multiverse.
