Origins and Evolution

The character of Ghost Rider Blaze first appeared in Marvel Comics' Ghost Rider #1 in 1972. Created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gary Friedrich, Ghost Rider Blaze was initially a stuntman named Johnny Blaze who sold his soul to the demon Mephisto to save his father's life. As a result, he became the Spirit of Vengeance, a supernatural anti-hero who rides a flaming motorcycle and wields hellfire and supernatural powers.

Over the years, Ghost Rider Blaze has evolved into a complex and multifaceted character. He has been portrayed as both a hero and a villain, and has struggled with the duality of his nature. He is a powerful force for good, but his supernatural powers come at a price. He is constantly haunted by the demon Zarathos, who seeks to control his body and soul.
