How long will his powers stay dormant?
Long as the writers want it to be.
I wished I'd seen him do a RW battle with Scarlet Witch in House of M.
How long will his powers stay dormant?
HAHAAAAA no.t: He's damn close though. If we're going by earth based heroes then it's either Hulk or Ghost Rider. Their strength has no limits. As long as those two have the willpower there's nothing they're too weak for.
I'm sorry. Could you refresh my memory. Could you indicate where it says Ghost Rider has limitless strength?Though Silver Surfer tops them both.

Ghost Rider is not a person. He is a force of nature similar to death. You can't kill him, you can't stop him, you can only slow him down. Johnny Blaze can be harmed and he can be separated from the Ghost Rider but the Ghost Rider itself, once fully unleashed and isn't holding back has boundless strength.
Same for Hulk, really. Get him angry and he gets stronger. There's no "150 tons is all he can lift" stipulation like there is for guys like Iron Man, Namor, and Hercules.
I personally dont really think Herc has a set limit at all either. I mean he's moved got some seriously impressive feats. For example he's moved the island of Manhattan twice. He's held up the sky in Atlas' stead. He's always seemed to just barely edge out Thor in strength and Thor usually stays pretty even with The Hulk in terms of strength even though Hulk's strength changes mid fight.
I think Herc and Thor are more examples of characters who can always just be as strong as they need to be so long as they dig deep enough into their well of willpower. They're potential for strength increase just isnt as easilly accessed as the Hulk's is.
Also, regarding the "ghost rider is a force of nature like death" thing. He's the avatar of Vengeance. Vengeance and death arent comparable at all. One is an absolute, the other is entirely subjective. Vengeance is not a force of nature it's a goal that only sentient living beings posess.
It's like being the avatar of Greed or Selfishness. It's not a force of nature.
To put it simply, 'the madder Hulk get's, the stronger Hulk get's'.
Or to quote the big guy himself;
''Hulk is strongest one there is''.......................
Good points but in my eyes that still makes him some kind of force made tangible. As long as there is someone to be avenged there is a job to be done and nothing gets in his way. To me that makes him less of a person and more of a force. People at least have weaknesses of some sort.
Pretty much. Ghost Rider is more comparable to a cosmic character anyway. I can really see him going toe to toe with guys like The Silver Surfer if he had to...In fact, considering he's the Spirit of Vengeance, I'm surprised I haven't heard of such a battle already. I gotta go look this up.
That's a damn fine premise. It would seem logical, what with Surfer causing the deaths of countless 'innocents' when he was Galactus' herald.
The awesome spectical of such an encounter would be mouth watering.
Oh yeah.I think he's encountered Galactus before but a fist fight with the Silver Surfer would be tops. Board vs. Cycle.
