Known Powers:

Body Armour: Due to his extended exposure to magical energies and cybernetics, Johnny has Incredible (40) protection against physical attacks, Amazing (50) protection from energy attacks and Unearthly (100) resistance to disease/toxin, fire/heat, radiation, and spiritual attacks. Due to not having a physical body, (organs, skin, etc.), Ghost Rider has Amazing (50) protection from physical damage, Monstrous (75) protection from energy attacks and Class 1000 to disease/toxin, fire/heat, radiation, and spiritual attacks.

Penance Stare: A successful grapple for 1-round enables Ghost Rider to use the Penance Stare. Ghost Rider can force criminals to experience a level of emotional pain equivalent to that which they have caused in others as a result of their illegal or immoral actions. A Psyche feat vs. Monsstrous (75) intensity on the victim’s part is allowed. If they pass they are cleansed of evil and are a changed person, however, if they fail they loose a rank of Psyche permanently and pass out for 1-100 rounds. If dropped to below Feeble (02) rank, they go insane. This ability works only on evil and those who hurt others; unless they already torture themselves or do not have a soul. The Penance Stare shows them the pain they inflict on others.

Hellfire Channelling. Johnny/Ghost Rider may feed the Hellfire that they have been imbued with to add Remarkable (30) magical fire damage to any firearm attack; create an Incredible (40) edged damage blade, or generate an Amazing (50) blast of Hellfire up to a 5-area range.

Hellfire Teleportation: Ghost Rider is able to teleport with Amazing (50) ability enabling him to teleport through the Hellfire dimension up to Shift Z (500) range or 400-areas in a single round. Ghost Rider also is able to teleport and attack as many times as he can make attacks.

Transformation: Transforming into Ghost rider or back into Johnny can be done at will, but the change into Ghost Rider is automatic if Johnny sees innocent blood being spilled. Transformation back into his normal body for at least 5-rounds will heal Ghost Rider of all damage.

Transformation – Zarathos: In his true form, Ghost Rider is a demon named Zarathos. Zarathos is the third set of abilities and gets a +2cs to all of his powers, as well as granting him Hellfire Manipulation (Generation, Create Constructs, Absorption, Psychic Drain {Amazing 50}) and boosting his Hellfire powers to ShiftY (200) rank.

-Ghost Rider can use the chain to inflict up to Amazing (50) damage, blunt or edged.

-Ghost Rider can cause the chain to elongate up to 1-area.

-Ghost Rider can use the chain to release individual links that turn into shurikens, each causing Good (10) damage. Ghost Rider may attack everybody in an area with 1-5 shurikens doing Good (10) damage with each.

- Ghost Rider can use the chain to form a shield of Remarkable (30) by spinning the chain in front of him.

- Ghost Rider has an unlimited amount of chain as long as he is holding one of its ends.

12-Gauge “Snapdragon” Automatic Shotgun: Johnny/Ghost Rider carries a specially designed 12-gauge shotgun that features a 4-barrel design.
