Ghost Rider, one of the most common and favorite characters in the comics, has a lot of different people wielding the power and many other variants too.

Out of all the Ghost Riders present, we will now rank the top 10 in this article.

10. Michael Badilino Ghost Rider

Vengeance

Michael Badilino also known as Vengeance in his Ghost Rider form, initially started as an antagonist, falling for a ploy of Mephisto, and attempting to kill Johnny blaze.

Later turning out to be an ally of Johnny Blaze, he had helped the Ghost Rider in various other situations and even sacrificed himself to kill Hellgate. Although, he did return later to aid Ghost Rider to foil Blackheart’s plans and end up defeating Blackheart.

Vengeance is more tilted toward a hero than an antagonist, which was proved over time and many.

9. Noble Kale

One of the oldest Ghost Riders, Noble Kale Ghost Rider came into existence under very unusual circumstances. He does not have a human form and was left in the void, after his father who was a secret follower of Mephisto, killed his wife, and kid and tried to sell his soul to Mephisto.

He did not have an appearance again till he possessed Daniel Ketch and helped him in his Ghost Rider Adventures.

Also known as Vengeance or Green Ghost Rider, the Deputy had first started hating on Ghost Rider following a mishap in his investigation, when he encountered Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider used penance stare after the deputy stabbed him and left him alone.

Later, he was approached by Michael Badilino to help in the Deputy’s hunt for Ghost Rider. After his second encounter, a fraction of Ghost Rider’s power was left in him, turning him into Vengeance, he was then later recruited by Blackheart to join a team opposing Ghost Rider.

7. Ghost Rider 1,000,000 BC

The oldest Ghost Rider, who used a mammoth to travel in his Ghost Rider form, was a normal caveman kid until his tribe was slaughtered by a mysterious person who was revealed to be a Wendigo and the reason for the transformation into a Spirit of Vengeance.

Years later, during the process of his revenge, Wendigo pushed his mammoth off a cliff, he was later approached by Odin and Lady Phoenix to join Prehistoric Avengers. They had even fought against a celestial Fallen and sealed it in an underground chamber.

 6. Red Hulk And Venom Ghost Rider

In a comic issue, Red Hulk, Venom, and Ghost Rider had merged themselves to put a stop to Blackheart’s plan once and for all, and in which they successfully managed to stop Blackheart from doing further damage.

This version looks pretty powerful with the combined power of three different entities and the array of combined abilities, which just throws the opponents into chaos.

5. Alejandra Jones

Alejandra Jones is probably the most proficient Ghost Rider as she was trained from her childhood to become the next Ghost Rider.

She was chosen as the next Ghost Rider from the candidates and was imbued with the power of Spirit of Vengeance. She had helped fend off a lot of threats and had battled against many foes along with the other Ghost Riders, Danny Ketch and Johnny Blaze.

4. Robbie Reyes

The fifth overall character to be nicknamed the Ghost Rider, Robbie is more of an unconventional Ghost Rider, who drives a car instead of a normal bike, possessed by a ghost Eli, who was not a Spirit of Vengeance but a Satanic Killer. Johnny used a penance stare on Eli and asked Robbie to never use that power again.

Due to some other circumstances, Robbie had to completely merge with Eli and had been a major part in many battles of Avengers, and also in the invasion of Dark Celestials. Robbie neither fits in a hero nor a villain role as his only wish is to create a better world for his brother Gabe.

3. Danny Ketch

Danny Ketch had protected against various threats and is also rumored to make his first on-screen appearance in the series Agatha: Coven of Chaos, possibly setting up for the Midnight Sons team too.

An alternate version of the Earth, where Thanos had successfully conquered Earth and Punisher was the last of the lot. After being sent to hell, he signed a deal with Mephisto to become Ghost Rider. He had only one aim, to punish Thanos for the destruction he did.

After finally tracking Thanos with the help of Galactus, he joins Thanos after Galactus is killed by the mighty titan, Thanos presented a shard of the time stone to the Ghost Rider to meet a younger version of Thanos.

Punisher did try a lot of things trying to go back to baby Thanos to try and raise him, which only further made things worse and Thanos ended up being more evil.

1. Johnny Blaze

Who does not love the original and the iconic Ghost Rider, Johnathan Johnny Blaze?  Being an essential part of many teams and also taking up the throne of the King of Hell, his abilities are unmatched and very powerful, setting up a standard for the title of anyone who becomes a Ghost Rider.

Despite all these versions of Ghost Rider, the original one still stands above all of these characters.
