And I'll be damned if I'm losing this race. To hell with being a Spirit of Vengeance. But what the hell have the Ghost Riders ever done? Except bring misery to themselves and everyone they love. Like that's supposed to be some kinda insult. I am called Ghost Rider and.vengeance will no longer be denied!Įveryone keeps telling me that I'm the worst Ghost Rider that's ever lived. Now imagine that you had the power to hunt them down.to stop them.to avenge the suffering they had caused. Imagine if you knew of the existence of people.creatures of the night.who thrived on human suffering.on pain, on the deaths of innocents. When I damned myself to an eternity spent in servitude to that bastard Mephisto. When I traded my soul to save the man who'd been like a father to me. when I smeared a pentagram on my chest and called forth the Devil.
