Class Skills
Magic Resistance (C): Ghost Rider has fought a number of Divine Spirits and Fallen Angels, and was able to resist the power of decay granted by Mephistopheles. [2]
Riding (D~A): Though Johnny Blaze was only ever able to ride motorcycles, as the Ghost Rider he is able to perfectly ride any non Phantasmal Beast. [3]
Personal Skills
Battle Continuation (A+): Because of his skeletal nature and Mephistopheles refusing to let him die, what would normally be a decisive fatal wound for most beings is merely cosmetic damage for Ghost Rider. Even having his skull caved in does not stop this punisher’s advance on the guilty. [4]
Demonic Mutation (B): A Skill based on the anecdote of Zarathos being tortured at the hands of Mephisto and becoming a Fallen Angel, while his own power was greatly weakened as a result of this perversion to his soul and psyche, it still grants his host STR and END beyond anything a mortal body is capable of, enough to contend with Divine Spirits such as Blackheart and his Hidden. [5]
Mana Burst (Hellfire) (E~A): A version of Mana Burst that infuses weapons with Magical Energy that imparts a flame effect. For the Ghost Rider, blazing magical energy floods the weapon used and wraps it in the fires of hell. This Skill is constantly active on Ghost Rider and his mount, extending to any weapons in his grasp as he sees fit. The heat generated by his flames allows him to even walk or ride on water.
Noble Phantasms
Zarathos: The Spirit of Vengeance [6]
- Type: Anti-Unit (self)
- Rank: EX
- Range: -
- Maximum number of targets: 1
The source of all of the Rider’s other Noble Phantasms and Skills, it is the Fallen Angel Zarathos who was bonded to Johnny’s soul by the devil, Mephistopheles. A continuously active type Noble Phantasm, Ghost Rider is able to temporarily seal it away and turn back into Johnny Blaze to move around undetected as an ordinary human.
Penance Stare: Soul Stained by the Blood of the Innocent
- Type: Anti-Soul
- Rank: E-~EX
- Range: 1
- Number of targets: 1-1000
The Ghost Rider’s most powerful, yet also his weakest, Noble Phantasm. After his fall at the hands of Mephistopheles, he became a punisher of the guilty as opposed to a protector of the innocent, something that manifested itself in the form of burning the souls of the guilty. The effectiveness of the Penance Stare is directly proportional to the sins committed by the target against innocents so long as they possess a soul.
Hell Cycle: Highway to Hell [7]
- Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Army
- Rank: A+
- Range: 1
- Maximum number of targets: 2
The Noble Phantasm that gives Ghost Rider his name, it is the ability to imbue any mount or vehicle he drives with his Hellfire, transforming it into a burning, skeletal version. This extends to anything he views as transport such as horses, motorbikes, cars, trucks and even an excavator.
While whatever mount Ghost Rider uses is greatly enhanced, they are not equal in strength. Due to the extremely limited availability of powerful mounts, Ghost Rider is unable to make proper use of the full power of this Noble Phantasm.
[1] Ghost Rider’s Luck only applies to things that would kill him as Mephistopheles refuses to let him die. Johnny’s had a pretty shit life besides walking off shit that should kill him so I think it only applying to defying death is valid.
[2] I reduced the rank of his Magic Resistance because Nick Cage Ghost Rider never actually has to deal with magic attacks besides Blackout’s decay which doesn’t really work on him.
[3] Buffed his Riding Skill with the rank I took from his MR since he would be able to take control of and use any vehicle he gets a hold of besides Phantasmal Beasts since he never actually used any for his mount and has only shown to be able to use.
[4] Blackheart is the son of Mephistopheles so he should qualify as a Divine Spirit while the Hidden are also fallen angels and I had no idea what to actually classify them as so I just lumped them in with that term. If anyone knows what classification they actually have, please tell me.
[5] The page mentions that he got his had smashed in, I don’t recall which fight this happened in but eh, this shit is meant to based on the profiles so yeah.
[6] Basically Powerless Shell but with some fluff added to it. Rank is only cuz super powerful angel gives him powers.
[7] The rank here doesn’t represent the actual power of his mount/charge with it. I based it on Bellerophon’s (the Bridle) ability to bring forth and enhance the power of whatever it’s used on. Ghost Rider won’t be pulling any Via Expugnatio or Pegasus type charges on people.
