During their meetings, Eleven told Danny the “true” story about the Ghost Rider, telling him of previous Spirits of Vengeance unable to cope with such an enormous power, and burning their soul with it. Then he was approached by a weird being, a talking crow who introduced himself as Mister Eleven, who had a new “drug” for him: doses of Ghost Rider’s power, each one bigger than the former.
His “normal life” turned out to be an endless series of drunken bar brawls, in which he looked for the thrill he had given up to. As an unforeseen side effect, however, Danny fell into a deep depression, that he tried to drown in alcohol. Sick and tired of his family curse destroying everything good in his life, Danny hired the technomancer Mary LeBow to exorcise from him Noble Kale and his spirit, giving up on being the Ghost Rider for good.
Without the need of using his powers and apparently free from his responsibilities as the Rider, Danny finally moved with his girlfriend Stacy Dolan, and lived in peace for some time… until the girl got pregnant with his child, and ran away from him.
He was saved only by the supernatural intervention of his brother Johnny Blaze and his deceased mother Naomi Kale, and was finally rewarded by the one thing he had been craving during all the years of his service as the Ghost Rider: a normal life. And is not determined by idiotic solutions like redeemed demons: let’s take a look.Īfter the forceful separation from his ancestor Noble Kale‘s soul, the Ghost Rider Danny Ketch fell into a seemingly irreversible coma, of spiritual origins. That form is unofficially known as the Angel Rider, rather than simply Blue-Flamed Ghost Rider, and is one that doesn’t belong to Blaze, but rather to his successor, Danny Ketch. Theological nonsense apart, this means that the Ghost Rider sports a brand new blue flame, indicating his now angelic powers.
The last character seen in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is also the last one seen at all: by the end of the movie, when Nicolas Cage‘s Johnny Blaze finally sends Roarke back to Hell, he apparently redeems his soul as well as Zarathos‘ one, and the demon regains his original (?!) angelic nature.
