As opposed to mystical and demonic threats, Robbie's series largely focused on youth gang culture and living in the ghetto, though there were some mystical elements. Featuring a new character, Robbie Reyes, taking on the eponymous mantle, Robbie uses a car instead of a motorcycle and lives in East Los Angeles.
In March 2014, the All-New Ghost Rider series debuted. He would go on to try to mentor Alejandra but, at the end of that series would retake the mantle of Ghost Rider back with Alejandra only retaining a portion of its power. In the 2011 series, Blaze gave up the mantle of the Ghost Rider, letting Alejandra Jones become the new host of the Spirit of Vengeance. Thanks to Zadkiel, though, there are now only two - Johnny and Danny. It's eventually revealed that the Ghost Rider has quite another origin from what Johnny and Danny were told: the Spirits of Vengeance are black-ops agents for Heaven, and there have been multiple Spirits across the cultures of the world since Biblical times. Johnny took note of this and eventually became Danny's Big Brother Mentor of sorts in his adventures. When attacked by thugs to protect his sister Barbara, a touch to a mysterious medallion doubling as a gas cap on what appeared to be a junked motorcycle suddenly bonded him with a spirit Kale, turning him into the new Ghost Rider. The second Ghost Rider is Daniel "Danny" Ketch, actually the brother of Johnny Blaze. For a short while, at least, until the next Ghost Rider appeared. After much struggling, Johnny managed to seal the spirit of Zarathos and live in peace. Both souls defied Mephisto, but eventually came to clash in who was to have control of the body. Unfortunately, Mephisto already bonded Johnny with the spirit of Zarathos, a vengeful demon (angel after the retcon) that he defeated in the past, turning him into the Ghost Rider. except Roxanne did a Big Damn Heroes and expelled Mephisto with The Power of Love. Obviously, Mephisto demanded Johnny hold to his bargain and agree to become his slave. only to have him die in an accident during the very next stunt he performed. Mephisto upheld his bargain and cured Crash. That spell summoned Mephisto (though it has recently been retconned to be Lucifer who made the deal with Johnny), whom Johnny asked to cure Crash's cancer. Trying to find a way out of his impasse, Johnny turned to the occult and eventually learned of a spell that could summon Satan. Then, Crash revealed that he had cancer, but even then Johnny still refused. This caused Johnny to swear off motorcycling, and deteriorated his relationship with Crash as Johnny refused to take public stunts, preferring to train in the shadows. Until one event where Johnny slipped off on his motorcycle stunt training, costing the life of Crash's wife, a mother figure to Johnny. Due to the abandonment, Johnny tended to suppress the memory about them, so it would seem life would be good for him. His mother was alive, as well, but she abandoned him, taking away his brother Daniel and sister Barbara. He also became the fiancee of Crash's daughter Roxanne. A stunt motorcyclist who trained under his dead father's friend Craig "Crash" Simpson. Blaze was the first version of the character to use the now-iconic motorbike and flaming skull. The Ghost Rider name was then re-used for a modern character, Johnathon "Johnny" Blaze, who first appeared in Marvel Spotlight #5 (August, 1972). He was retroactively dubbed the Night Rider, and then the Phantom Rider.
This character rode around on a white horse in an all-white getup. Marvel first used the Ghost Rider name for a Western hero named Carter Slade.
The premise is basically: Badass Biker with a Flaming Skull for a Head. Ghost Rider is one of the earlier thriller heroes of the Marvel Universe, as in, heroes that deal with underworld baddies like demons and the likes of Mephisto.
