Ok, before really get into this, I have to come clean and admit that I originally did not know there was a profile for Cosmic Ghost Rider. That said, I ended up creating a completely new profile for him in my blog.
After finding out there is an actual profile for him already, I decided to look it over and incoporate what was there into my profile. Yet as I did, I found some stuff that I disagreed with. So, I only took certain things from the original.
As such, I would just like to look at the two profiles, their differences and such and decide how to proceed basically and iron out the details.
So let's talk about the stuff in the original that I didn't keep and why:
Dimensional Travel: I think I get where this is coming from. Johnny Blaze has Dimensional Travel and then there's the fact that CGR is from another universe. Yet, I'm not convinced. He's never truly shown it, IMO. We have to remember that CGR is from an alternate future timeline that was eventually erased. As such, all he had to Time Travel back with the Time Stone to get to the current 616 universe. The next time he ends up in Earth-616 he was transported there by an alternate Odi. Hence, I don't see why he should have it, given that he hasn't demonstrated it.
Regenerationn: Ok, the thing here is, that I haven't seen the guy regenerate from anything. Maybe, I'm missing something but even the current profile doesn't actually list what level of it he would even have. As such, I'm saying that we don't list him with it because he hasn't demonstarted it and we really don't know what level he'd have. Given the fact that this guy has access to the Power Cosmic plus the basic Ghost Rider powers, he might have even better than Johnny Blaze. So, for now, I think it's best if we don't list him with it until the comics give us something tangible to work with wit.
Resurrection: This is another power that CGR hasn't demonstrated at all. Even worse, he's died three times and each time, he was brought back by something else twice. The first time is when he became a Ghost Rider via a deal with Mephisto. So, that wasn't him. Next, he gets killed by the Fallen One. CGR ends up in Valhalla, the Asgardian afterlife. From there, he's sent back into an earlier time of the 616 universe by Odin. However, we later learn that he's still dead and Hela can control him because of it. Later, Hela loses control of him, but without her power at this point, his body crumbles and CGR ends up in Hell. So, yeah, there's no actual evidence he can ressurect on his own.
Type 8 Immortality: What proof is there that he has Type 8? There is no evidence other than Johnny Blaze having it.
Range: I changed this because his current rating just assumes that CGR has the Stellar range because other Heralds of Galactus do. However, the Heralds here on site have different ranges. Silver Surfer has Universal, others have Interplanetary and Morg has Planetary. However, CGR has never displayed ranges close to this and believe that it's a little much to grant him something more than what he's actually shown.
Now for what I added:
Self-Sustenance: He commonly rides through space without aid and as such, I think it's safe to say that CGR doesn't need to breath.
Energy Projection: He's shown to fire energy blasts, like in his battle with alternate Thanos. Just to reinforce that.
Explosion Manipulation: Mainly due to him causing an a blast of Hellfire that resembles a nuclear detonation. I think I might be stretching this one, TBH.
Weapon Mastery, Stealth Mastery & Martial Arts: This is due to the fact that CGR shares his history with 616 [[Punisher (Marvel Comics)]|Punisher]. As such he should have the same training and experiences.
Mind & Pain Manipulation: On Ghost Rider's profile, this is how we list the nature of the Penance Stare. Given that CGR does have it, I think it is fitting.
Time Stop: CGR threatened Thanos with the ability to stop time. The narration further notes that he's not a liar.
So, after looking over everything, what do all of you out there think.
