Ghost Rider
During the 18th century a man named Noble
Kale fell in love with a black woman known as Magdelen .Noble was a pawn,
in a deadly game run by Mephisto, and Noble's father Pastor Kale.
When Pastor Kale had Magdelena burned to the stake for discovering his
dark secret, Magdelena brought a curse onto the Pastor and the town.
Fearing the curse, eventual death on him, Pastor Kale summoned Mephisto.
A deal was made in which Mephisto would claim the soul of noble and transform
hi into a demon. The agreement was reached, and Noble Kale was transformed
into Ghost Rider. When Ghost Rider had destroyed Magdelena's curse,
the Furies, Pastor Kale offered Ghost Rider some food, Noble Kale's son.
Not willing to devour his own flesh and blood, Ghost Rider killed himself.
Upon his death, Mephisto had appeared to claim Noble's soul. However
Mephisto brother the archangel Uriel also appeared claiming that
Noble's soul did not belong to Mephisto. Unable to come to an agreement,
a compromised was reached. Noble will be claimed by neither realm,instead
Noble will be placed in the void, only to appear when one of his descendants
summon him.Thus was born the legend and the curse of the Ghost Rider.
Over the course of history Ghost Rider was called upon by many of his descendants.
During World War One he was called upon to fight his arch rival Verminous
Rex. Years later Naomi Kale had inherited the powers of the Ghost
Rider. Naomi felt that she could not subject her children to that kind
of a life so she was forced to abandon them. For years she fought to free
her first born John from his curse. She succeeded, but failed to realize
that if the first born is not available to claim his destiny, the next
child would have to take over. She died trying to protect her children
from that kind of curse, only to fail. Thirteen years after her death,
her other two children Dan and, Barbara were taking a forbidden stroll
through the cemetery. They witnessed the killer Deathwatch murder
a man, Deathwatch had noticed he was seen and ordered the kids dead. Barbara
was killed by an arrow. While trying to flee to find help, Dan stumbled
upon a mysterious motorcycle. Upon contact of the bike Dan was transformed
into, Ghost Rider, and the spirit of vengeance was reborn. After his rebirth
Ghost Rider, fought to protect the innocent. The return of this Ghost Rider
had drawn the attention of former Ghost Rider, John Blaze. John Blaze set
out to kill Ghost Rider, so he may lead a normal life. While in battle
with John, Ghost Rider accidentally released hellfire into John's body
causing John to shoot pure hellfire from his shot gun. Ghost Rider eventually
convinced John that he was not the demon
Zarathos that John thought he was. After
his encounter with John, Ghost Rider was
now more determined to discover who he
really was. The search for the truth caused Ghost Rider to become one of
the founding members of the Midnight Sons. The Midnight
Sons mission was to stop the forces of
evil from threatening the planet. As a Midnight Son, Ghost Rider was forced
to meet his destiny and fight Zarathos, in a winner take all competition.
Zarathos unfortunately won and Ghost Rider died. When the crime lord Anton
Hellgate Hellgate, learned of Ghost Rider's demised, he resurrected Ghost
Rider through scientific means. Hellgate had hoped that Ghost Rider would
join him, however Ghost Rider refused and tried to stop Hellgate's criminal
reign. After his re-re-birth Ghost Rider was determined to discover now
more then ever who he truly was. It was not until a run in with Vengeance
that the pieces of Ghost Rider's origin started coming together. Ghost
Rider and Blaze sought the help of the young sorceress Jennifer Kale .
With the help of Jenn Ghost Rider was able to discover fragments of his
past, as well as that Dan, and John are distant cousins of Jennifer. Ghost
Rider now feels that it is his right to escape the void and stay in our
world on a more permanent basis. Ghost Rider does
however realize that in doing so might
jeopardize Dan's life. Ghost Rider then came face to face with new
spirits of vengeance, each with powers equal to his own. These new
spirits of vengeance, Pao Fu , Verminous Rex, Doghead , and Wallow , all
sought
Ghost Rider's leadership or his death.
Refusing to lead such hellish creatures, Pao Fu killed Ghost Rider instantly,
and took him to her master Blackheart. Blackheart had Ghost Rider
revived by the kiss of his demoness Black Rose, and offered Ghost Rider
a
deal. The deal was that Ghost Rider
would lead Blackheart's new spirits of vengeance, the hands of marriage
with Pao Fu and Black Rose, as well as Ghost Rider returning to his original
body. Ghost Rider immediately accepted, and became human once again.
Dan Ketch however was severed from Ghost Rider, and was given the opportunity
to lead a normal life. After the wedding Ghost Rider gave Black Rose and
Pao Fu their freedom, from Blackheart, however Blackheart interjected and
began the battle of the spirits of vengeance, in which Ghost Rider, Vengeance,
Pao Fu, Verminous Rex, Doghead, and Wallow, all took part, and only one
would survive. When all seemed at a loss Dan Ketch burst on the scene
giving Ghost Rider that which he need most, his memories. Upon the
restoration of his memories, Ghost Rider
finally knew who he was, the angel of death. Putting this knowledge
to use, Ghost Rider immediately destroyed Blackheart. In doing so
Ghost Rider became the new ruler of hell and sadly at the loss of life
of his dear friend and companion Dan Ketch.
