Long ago, a demon named Mephisto wanted power. He wanted a contract of 1,000 evil souls. He sent the Ghost Rider to bring it. But the Rider refused. He ran away with the contract. Years later, in 1986, Mephisto met Johnny Blaze. Johnny was 17. Johnny’s father had cancer. Mephisto made a deal. He would cure the father. But Johnny must give his soul. Johnny agreed to save his dad.
Next day, the cancer was gone. But his father died in a stunt crash. Johnny felt cheated and angry. Mephisto took his soul anyway. Johnny left his girlfriend Roxanne. He rode away alone. Years later, Johnny became famous. He was a top stunt rider. He did deadly bike jumps. Crowds loved him. He met Roxanne again. She was now a reporter. They planned a dinner date.
At the same time, danger came. Mephisto’s son Blackheart came to Earth. He wanted the lost soul contract. Mephisto met Johnny again. He made him the new Ghost Rider. He promised Johnny’s soul back. But only if Johnny stopped Blackheart. At night, Johnny changed form. His body burned away. He became a flaming skeleton. He killed evil beings. He punished sinners. He had a power called Penance Stare. It forced sinners to feel their victims’ pain.

Johnny was scared of himself. He met a man called Caretaker. The man knew the Rider’s secret. He said Johnny would change at night. Only near evil souls. Johnny tried to live normal. He met Roxanne again. He told her the truth. She did not believe him. She walked away. Soon, Johnny was framed for murders. Blackheart did the crimes. Police arrested Johnny.
