In fact, the ghost rider has a history of millions of years, and Johnny Blazer is just a modern ghost rider. Today, the editor will tell you about the past and present of the evil spirit knight.
The Origins of the Ghost Rider
In the original comics, the history of the Ghost Rider is more complicated. The following four origins are summarized: Medal of Strength, Zatanos, Vengeful Spirit, Kyle Family .
1. The origin of the Medal of Strength
About 20,000 years ago, a demon lord Zatanos and his followers who attempted to devour the soul of all mankind and conquer the world fell into the blood and attempted to seize power. Medals to control the entire planet.
The Medal of Strength is protected by the ancient blood clan, which is an ancient superhuman race that has existed more than 20,000 years ago or even earlier. They have an immortal lifespan, mysterious magic, physical potential beyond ordinary people, and ignore any disease and aging.
The Blood Clan strongly opposes the demon Zatanos who is trying to win the Medal of Strength. As a result, he formed an alliance with the original vengeful spirit born on the earth, also known as the earliest son of midnight, and fought against the devil. In the end, the original spirits of vengeance died with the devil at the expense of themselves. The demon Zatanos was beaten back to a stone statue (his original form was a stone statue) and the essence separated from himself and the demon was incorporated into the Medal of Strength.
Because the Medal of Strength was too powerful, the Blood Clan worried that if the Medal fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be disastrous, so the Medal of Strength was broken into four pieces and divided into two for the descendants of the two families to inherit. One is the family of Ghost Rider protagonist Johnny Blazer and his younger brother Danny Cage, and the other is the family of Vengeful Knight Mike Batirino. The descendants of the two families will inherit the Medal of Strength to fulfill the responsibility of suppressing the energy of the Medal of Strength, and the person responsible for supervising and guiding the two families affected by the Medal of Strength is called the caretaker.
2. The origin of Zatanos
Two thousand years ago, a shaman tribe's archmage led the tribe to discover Zatanos who was beaten back to its original form by the original vengeful spirit in a cave. Stone statue and use magic to wake it up. The newly awakened Zatanos was sealed in the Medal of Strength because of its essence, so he needed to regain his strength during his heyday by constantly absorbing human souls on a regular basis. This great demon king bestows powerful powers on the shaman tribe, allowing him to consume souls by continuously invading and expanding and enslaving the tribesmen of other tribes.
Zatanos’s rampant dominance on the earth attracted the attention of Mephisto, another lord of hell, because Mephisto is also a devil who relies on the souls of human beings as energy supply. The struggle between the two demons is inevitable.
But Mephisto is unwilling to face-to-face with Zatanos, he is looking for opportunities. Once, Zatanos saw the wife of the young prince of the tribe, San Turios, and demanded to consume his wife's soul. The prince rebelled to no avail. He could only pray to the gods to save his lover.
At this time Mephisto appeared and said that he could help him save his wife, but he had to pay for his soul. The helpless prince could only sell his soul and became a spiritless and immortal. At this time, Zatanos was about to consume his wife's soul, and the prince appeared and thwarted his brutal behavior. So Zatanos became angry and wanted to wipe out the prince’s soul with the soul flame, but found that he could not do it. Instead, he was burned by the prince’s anger and the flame of unbelief.
The prince explained that his soul had been sold to Mephisto,So Zatanos couldn't kill his soul. So the people of the tribe doubted whether Zatanos could defeat Mephisto.
Because of the loss of the support and belief of the followers of the tribe, Zatanos's power was greatly reduced, and the loss of magic caused him to be easily defeated by Mephisto. Mephisto enslaved and eliminated Zatanos's soul. After that, he used the soul of Zatanos as an experiment and transplanted it to different human beings to develop the essence of Zatanos for his own use. After
, because of the arrangement and manipulation behind Mephisto and Randekiel, Zatanos was attached to the motorcycle acrobatic Johnny Blazer and became a ghost rider.
3. The origin of the spirit of vengeance
The spirit of vengeance was created by the God of heaven, and the subsequent Noah’s Ark flood incident thousands of years ago felt that the god who originally wanted to punish mankind through natural disasters It is too cruel, but the original sin nature of mankind has not changed because of this, so God created the second batch of vengeful spirits known as living weapons.
Landed from the sky in the form of fire and rain. By searching for human hosts and fusing with their souls, they become ghost riders and punish the evils of the world. From then on, the main duty of the spirit of vengeance was to supervise the sinful nature of human beings in the world and to avenge the innocent people who were killed by sin. Therefore, the spirit knight is also called The Wrath of God.
Moreover, God also sent a person responsible for supervising the spirit of vengeance to maintain stability in the world. He is Jupiter, the guardian of freedom, mercy, mercy, and forgiveness-the archangel Zadkiel (Zadkiel) . Randekiel has been taking over the supervision of the Vengeful Spirit project for thousands of years, and the historical destiny of all ghost knights on the earth has been monitored and controlled by Randekiel behind the scenes.
4. The origin of the Kyle family
In the 18th century, Noble Kyle was the son of the Puritan priest Barstow Kyle.He fell in love with a gypsy girl (Magdalena), and secretly gave birth to a son without telling her father, which made the Puritan father very unforgivable. Once, his wife discovered that Basto was a devout believer of the Devil Mephisto, so she was framed and killed by Basto. Before she died, she cursed Basto to die and summoned Orin. The three vengeance goddesses of Mount Pith seek revenge.
Barstow summoned his master Mephisto for fear of being avenged by the three vengeance goddesses. He wanted to trade with Mephisto again for the soul of his son Norbert Kyle. Deal with the powerful warriors of the three vengeance goddesses. After the deal was concluded, Basto obeyed Mephisto's instructions. He mobilized the townspeople to go to the cemetery to dig their graves and put together a soldier's frame with the bones of the dead.
Next, Basto chanted a spell to take out Norbert's heart and soul and put them into the warrior skeleton. Thus, a ghost rider was born (at the same time Norbert also lost his body)
墨Festo triggered the Kyle family's Medal of Strength and made Norbert Kyle the first "Ghost Rider" in the family. He was transformed into a burning skeleton knight, holding a sword of hell flames and fighting the three vengeance goddesses for three days and three nights, and finally defeated the three evil gods who had come and lifted the curse of his wife Magdalena.
After the battle, the confused Norbert thought he was a dark creature, and eating became his only pleasure. In the end, Barstow brought Norbert's son to the front and dedicated him to eat. In order to protect his child, Norbert refused and committed suicide.
After the death of Norbert Kyle, the archangel Randekiel appeared and competed with the devil Mephisto for Norbert’s soul. In the end, they agreed that heaven and hell could only occupy half of their souls, and put their souls in In the realm of the void, only when innocent people appear on the earth, can Kyle's soul descend on the earth to punish the sins. And each generation of the eldest son of the Kyle family becomes the host of Norbert and meets an innocent person who bleeds and can be transformed into a ghost knight.
