Ghost Rider (comics) - Daniel Ketch

The next Ghost Rider, was a young man named Daniel Ketch, debuted in Ghost Rider vol. 2 #1 (May 1990). This Ghost Rider was nearly identical to the previous, although his costume was now a black leather biker jacket with spiked shoulder-pads, grey leather pants, and a mystic chain that he wore across his chest, which responded to his mental commands and served as his primary melee weapon. His new motorcycle resembled a futuristic machine and the front of it could lower to serve as a battering ram. Like the original Ghost Rider's bike, the wheels were composed of mystic hellfire. Unlike the relationship between the previous Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, and the demonic Zarathos who possessed him, Ketch and his demon — eventually revealed in #91 (Dec. 1997) to be Marvel's incarnation of the Angel of Death/Judgment — are cooperative with each other. As with Blaze and Zarathos, they can sometimes communicate through dreams or will leave messages for each other, such as writing a note or using lipstick to scribble messages on a mirror.

At the close of the series with vol. 2, #93 (Feb. 1998), Blaze seemed to lose his children to mystical forces and Roxanne was killed, only to be transformed into the demon Black Rose; Daniel Ketch also apparently died and Noble Kale became a ruler in Hell. The following year, Peter Parker: Spider-Man #93 (July 1999) revealed Ketch was still alive. Nearly a decade later, Marvel published the long-completed final issue as Ghost Rider Finale (Jan. 2007), which reprints vol. 2, #93 and the previously unpublished #94. Note: While the trademarked cover logo reads Ghost Rider #94, the comic's postal indicia lists the comic copyrighted as Ghost Rider Finale. The finale revealed that Roxanne's true spirit was restored and that she left her existence as Black Rose behind and returned to Blaze's side, though she suffered from heavy memory loss.
