Favorite Ghost Rider?

[3dman27]

Since I started reading comics in the 60's...I remember reading the western first, but as you say it doesn't tie in with this.

The only other version I read was the Johnny Blaze stories...so he gets my vote.

the western gr was put into this poll so i'd say he does

 

[The Flash]

I actually started reading a few issues of Ghost Rider a short time before Dan Ketch's first appearance. But I'm more exposed to Ketch than I am any other GR. I didn't read that much of the others because I was focused on Danny Ketch more.

So my vote is for Danny.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I had to vote Dan b/c he's the only 0ne ive read

the western gr was put into this poll so i'd say he does

But...since the subheading to the poll was "which flame head is the best"...and the western character wasn't a flame head, he just had the same name...I personaly couldn't vote for him.

I was thinking the same thing too. But the thread title is named ''Favorite Ghost Rider''. So that means you can choose whatever GR you feel like C.

I feel Blaze is the one and only true Ghost Rider best over all. Comicbook heros should not in my opinion should not change to a different one. I mean is there another Spiderman, Superman or Batman aside the originals? Comicbook heroes should only be one not 2 or 3 lol If they need to upgrade them with other powers thats cool but only the original or that best one Blaze.

My deepest apoligies for not taking into account that everything needs to be literally speaking. To clarify, I'm referring to all Ghost Rider's as Flamehead, be them with or without a head of fire.

 

[The Kryptonian]

Mine is definately Dan 'The Man' Ketch! He was the first I read. He and Johnny Blaze are probably the best. I started reading Ghost Rider in '94, but I've kinda slacked off a little. Last I read of him was in '01. I've gotta get back to reading his comics again. Shame on me for stopping in the first place.

 

[3dman27]

what's the skinny on the western ghost rider aka the night rider?

 

[FlameHead]

The skinny? Well I do know that he's not as skinny as the future Ghost Riders. Ha.

I do have one comic of his and what I can tell is that he has a cape or suit or something that renders him invisable. He's white like a Ghost too. Other than that, I have no idea about him besides the fact that he has nothing to do with the future versions of him.

I've been a Johnny Blaze fan as long as I can remember I started with my dad's Gohst Riders in the '80s and then I really liked the '90s GR but when Blaze came back that was all it took to get me to think that GR 2 was not that good. I loved seeing the Blaze GR Marvel Legends fig, man I scared a woman just grabing the thing up. JBFL(J. Blaze for Life)

 

[GammaMike]

I vote Ketch, he was the Ghost rider I discovered, I remember the first comic i read had a sick foil cover of The Ketck to GR transformation. In that issue Blackout cut Ketch's throat and he was stuck as GR for a while. pretty sick stuff.

 

[FlameHead]

Yeah, that was a great storyline. Ghost Rider couldn't change back to Dan because if he did, Dan would die. They had to find a way to save Dan before doing so. It made for some great Dan in other Dimension storylines... and brought Dr. Strange onto the scene. Yeah baby.

 

[Creature SH]

I mean is there another Spiderman, Superman or Batman aside the originals?

Ben Reilly / Several (Death and Return...) / Jean-Paul Valley.

 

[FlameHead]

Huh?

I second ALL of that.
And if the other characters you mentioned were changed....they shouldn't have

 

[Nero_Ordin]

johnny blaze because i never like danny ketch.

 

[FlameHead]

That's a good enough reason as any...

 

[T1000416]

I prefer the Danny Ketch stories...because...*sigh* I Haven't read too many of the Blaze stories. I would probably enjoy them more.

I can't find any of those 2099 issues. And I know it will be the same with the Western ones.

 

[3dman27]

you might at that

 

[FlameHead]

The western ones are probably pretty hard to find. I lucked out in finding one a couple of years ago. Issue 2. I hope to find the others someday, though they aren't a to priority for me.

GR 2099 however, that's a different story...

 

[Zrthsgr]

I'm so glad they're doing JB for the movie. This is going to be the best

 

[FlameHead]

Indeed it is.

Looks like Blaze is takin' off in the Poll. 15 ahead of Dan right now.

 

[YJ1]

I.....guess i'll go ahead and give my vote to Ketch, although the Blaze version, towards the end of his run, (say the last two years or so) was incredibley violent and ruthless, which made for some really cool scenarios. (remember when he kicked the Avengers' asses? Thor and Iron Man included?)...

That's the Ghost Rider I identify with because if he didn't cross over with other Marvel characters I never noticed him. I remember reading old "Champions" issues growing up. Hercules, Black Widow, Iceman, Angel and Ghost Rider made a very cool team. I do believe that link is why Angel showed up in that Avengers issue as well.

Even though I know little about Ghost Rider, I'm really quite excited about this movie.

 

[FlameHead]

Imagine how excited us Ghost Rider maniacs are...

I recently picked up the first issue of Champions. I only have 3 issues now and haven't read any of them yet. I'm excited to do so though... and may read iss 1 when I get home, now that you've put it in my mind.
