Life As The Ghost Rider
Seeking the Medallion of Power, Noble battled the demon Zarathos. During their battle the medallion was broken into three pieces. Each recovered a piece; the third was believed lost until being found as part of the Badilino family.
The Blazes were separated as a protective measure by the Blood. Mephisto confronted Naomi Kale. She attempted to join with Noble and battle Mephisto. She was killed, and Noble's father hid the body. (Mephisto had apparently made Pastor Kale immortal and tormented him with the fact that his zealous beliefs had damned his descendants.) He also tracked down the Badilinos.
His manipulations caused Johnny Blaze to be bonded with Zarathos. Blaze then was manipulated to attack the Badilinos, causing Michael Badilino to become Vengeance. Noble was bonded to Daniel Ketch when his sister Barbara was shot.
The truth about the Ghost Rider and Noble was revealed after a penance stare from Vengeance. Kale and Ketch continues to battle evil afterwards, with Kale becoming more powerful and angrier. Meanwhile, Blackheart, ruler of Hell after disposing Mephisto, sought to up the stakes by creating his own Spirits of Vengeance, consisting of several newly-created demons.
They then confront Kale, demanding he serve Blackheart or die. He refuses and is then taken to Hell after being stabbed by Pao Fu. There, Blackheart offers him another bargain: marry both Pao Fu and Black Rose, and his family will be rid of his curse forever. However, at the wedding, Blackheart betrays Noble, planning to kill him using his would-be brides. A battle ensues between Blackheart, his Spirits of Vengeance and Noble Kale. Danny soon arrives with the ghost of his mother. He gives Noble his memories back, temporarily endowing him with the power of the angel of death. He directs his newfound strength at Blackheart, destroying him utterly, and making Noble the new ruler of Hell.
In Ghost Rider: Finale other demonic leaders, including Belasco, Hela and Pluto, acquaint themselves with Noble. They scoff at his ruling as mere puppetry and soon depart. Noble then gathers the near-countless demons of Hell and announces that their imprisoned souls are now free, but under the condition that they do no more evil. Everyone, in outrage that this will upset the nature of good and evil, including Uriel who is banished from Hell as a result, try to convince Noble otherwise. He brushes their words aside and hands his title as ruler of Hell over to Vengeance. Noble then departs, taking Black Rose with him, before promising that, as the king of Hell, he will return.

Famous quotes containing the words life as, life, ghost and/or rider:
“I sometimes have the sense that I live my life as a writer with my nose pressed against the wide, shiny plate glass window of the “mainstream” culture. The world seems full of straight, large-circulation, slick periodicals which wouldn’t think of reviewing my book and bookstores which will never order it.”
—Jan Clausen (b. 1943)
“Great geniuses have the shortest biographies. Their cousins can tell you nothing about them. They lived in their writings, and so their house and street life was trivial and commonplace. If you would know their tastes and complexions, the most admiring of their readers most resembles them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Hold the high way and let they ghost thee lead
And Truthe shall deliver, it is no dread.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“The sun that leaps on petals through a nought,
The come a-cropper rider of the flower.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
