Subject Attributes

Superhuman Abilities: Robbie's abilities are linked to his demonic transformation which allows him to turn into the Ghost Rider. These abilities can only be used when he's Ghost Rider rather than in his "human form."

• Superhuman Strength: His strength exceeds that of the average, non-powered human, exceeding the limits of the human body. He's been shown to be able to contend with others like Thor and Captain Marvel in regards to physical might.
• Superhuman Speed: Like his strength, he's able to move at speeds that exceed that of the average, non-powered human.
• Superhuman Durability: He's highly resistant to injury and can even withstand great impact without being injured too bad or killed. This allows him to hold his own against even Hulk level threats for an admittedly brief but still impressive amount of time.
• Self-Sustenance: He doesn't need to rest, eat, sleep, or drink as Ghost Rider. He doesn't even need to breathe, allowing him to not worry about drowning under water or suffocating in space.
• Regenerative Healing Factor: He regenerates from injuries faster than the average, non-powered human. He can even regrow damaged or detached limbs in seconds or mend large holes blown in his body.
• Pyrokinesis: He's able to generate and project flames from his body. The flames are most likely hellfire but he has yet to confirm this himself.
• Chain Manifestation: He can manifest red-hot chains from his body and wield them as weapons. The chains themselves are incredibly strong, capable of ripping a Celestial's arm out of place.
• Hell Charger Linkage: His Ghost Rider self is linked and thus connected to a demonic car possessed by the Satanic spirit of his Uncle Eli. This connection allows him to summon the car when needed for various actions including fire attacks and ramming enemies.
• Intangibility: While limited, he's able to phase through his car and some other objects as well as places.
  
• Underworld Path: He can use the trunk of the Hell Charger as a portal to Hell. When enemies are thrown in, they're quite literally sent to Hell. He can even summon writhing tentacle monsters from it to grapple and entangle enemies and drag them through the portal for him.
• Healing Symbiosis: When he and/or the Hell Charger suffer critical physical or mental energy, the car is able to connect him to its internal wiring in order to repair, and thus heal, the both of them.
• Teleportation: He can use the Hell Charger as a hub, using it to teleport various distances.
• Portal Creation: Through his connection to the Hell Charger, he's able to create hellfire portals.
• Nether Communication: He's able to use the Hell Charger to communicate with deceased individuals or souls as well as track the individual's lineage and come in contact with them.
• Matter Surfing: He's able to drive the Hell Charger over bodies of water as easily as solid ground and even use it as a submersible.
• Flight: He's able to make the Hell Charger fly and even fly it at great speeds in space.

• Condemnation: He can summon a hellish spire that can drag his enemies down to Hell.
• Rage Enhancement: He's able to enhance his form even more by the rage that fuels him due to the possession by his Uncle Eli. When he kills and/or punishes a criminal, he becomes a more powerful demonic figure.
  
• Vehicle Possession: He can give any vehicle he comes into contact with the properties of the Hell Charger, though it's temporary for the vehicle.
  
• Penance Stare: He's able to make someone feel all the pain and suffering they have caused innocent people to endure. He's able to do this himself or emit it through the Hell Charger or another vehicle he is currently possessing. The point of origin of his penance stare remains unknown however.
• Penance Bomb: In his more demonic form, he's able to explode a mass of hellfire large enough to destroy most of Japan. Thankfully for both the world and his conscious, he's never used this power.

Standard Abilities:

• Expert Driver: Robbie is a highly skilled driver as well as a street racer.
• Expert Mechanic: He's a highly skilled mechanic.
• Combat: Despite his lack of proper training, he has a knack for hand-to-hand combat and can hold his own in a fight.
• Pilot: He's competent when it comes to piloting a helicopter as well as the Quinjet.

Paraphernalia:

• Hell Charger: A modified 1969 Dodge Charger, possessed by the spirit of a Satanic serial killer, his Uncle Eli, and now linked to Robbie.
• Hell Chain: A chain with knives at the edges that he wields in combat. The full nature of this chain has yet to be explored and thus remains unclear.

Subject Weaknesses:

• Penance Stare: Because he's possessed by a Satanic serial killer rather than a Spirit of Vengeance, Robbie is also vulnerable and prone to the effects of a penance stare.
• Control: He's still working on gaining control of his demonic powers and thus can potentially lose control of them again.
• Inexperience: Going hand in hand with his lack of control, while he keeps gaining experience, he's still considered one of the more inexperienced heroes and thus more prone to mistakes.
• Fueled By Wrath: No matter what his main objective is to kill a list of crime lords, fueled by his Uncle Eli's wrath. This objective, this wrath, is very hard to ignore and fight past.
• Rage Enhancement: His rage enhancement affects his body physically when he's Ghost Rider but it also affects his human body medically. That and the more powerful his demonic self becomes, the harder it can be to control it.

Subject History

By the time Robbie Reyes was a high school student, he was the provider for and protector of his disabled younger brother, Gabe. The neighborhood they lived in, Hillrock Heights, in Los Angeles was crime-riddled and extremely dangerous. Even though Robbie worked all the hours he could at a body shop as a mechanic, it wasn't enough to enable him and Gabe to relocate somewhere safer for them. To that end, Robbie "borrowed" a 1969 Dodge Charger from his body shop and entered a street race with it, hoping to use the prize money for Gabe's well-being.

Unbeknownst to him, pills that allowed Calvin Zabo to transform into Mr Hyde were in the trunk of the Charger, and the mercenaries dispatched to retrieve then gunned Robbie down in the process. Though believed dead, Robbie's body was possessed by a spirit which transformed him into the new Ghost Rider. After another transformation the next day, Robbie was introduced to the spirit formally, "Eli." Eli offered him the chance to secure vengeance against those that had done wrong, to which Robbie accepted. Immediately after, Robbie encountered Mr Hyde, who had stolen the Charger, fought him, and won, becoming something of a hero in the eyes of the area in the process.

Robbie was unwilling to become a vigilante, though, and began using his newfound powers to win more street races, using the money to work less and spend more time with Gabe. During an altercation with the original Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, Eli took over Robbie's body, using it to pursue a vendetta against a Russian mob boss. In the process, Eli was revealed not to be a Spirit of Vengeance, but that of a serial killer who had been gunned down in the house that Robbie and Gabe lived in. Eli was also responsible for pushing Robbie's pregnant mother down the stairs, resulting in Gabe's disability. Johnny Blaze subdued Eli with a Penance Stare, enabling Robbie to regain control.

Back in Los Angeles, Mr Hyde's gang reared and, through the ensuing altercations with them, Robbie reached an agreement with Eli: they would only harm those with evil souls, sating Eli's bloodlust. Robbie awoke in South Africa in his Charger without any memory of having got there, and was attacked by Star Brand, who he accidentally killed when his Penance Stare awoke for the first time during the fight. Robbie was summoned by Odin to answer for Star Brand's death and, after explaining everything, was pardoned.

Most recently, Robbie did battle with She-Hulk. The fight had unexpected consequences, because he has now found himself as the newest member of the core Avengers roster, operating out of Avengers Mountain on the North Pole. His fledgling membership was made rocky when, while confronting vampires, his demonic side was forced out of control by a poison/disease from them. Ultimately, Robbie proved his mettle and was reinstated fully, and Blade purged him of the supernatural affliction, then agreed to stay on the Avengers and mentor Robbie in controlling his demonic powers.

Subject Interview

He'd say this wasn't how he'd expected to spend his night but honestly this was normal for him by now. It was the quiet nights that made him twitch. A spirit had come through his car - Yes, this was his life now. - with a warning. It was very possibly a trap but he couldn't really ignore it. The next thing he knew, his head was a flaming skull, his body was covered in tastefully tight leather, and his car was teleporting them all the way to Jersey City. He put his foot down on the pedal and the Hell Charger raced away, tires shrieking, toward the stadium. He could practically feel the magic coming from there - It felt... Wrong. He didn't think it was from this dimension but he was admittedly no expert.

Robbie glared as much as he could with his face being, well, a skull, when something rose in the stadium - something taller than the stadium's walls. He'd faced worse... Right? Well there was no time like the present to find out. He pushed the pedal flat to the ground. Right before he hit the outside wall, the Charger teleported the both of them inside the stadium. He circled the field in a blur, taking in the scene before him. Someone stood there, seeming to oppose the creatures. Someone who was about to get buried in the ground by a giant fist.

The wheels tore up the ground beneath as he directed the car to move. He was coming from the far side, behind the man. He drove straight at him. He needed to time this well or else he wasn't going to make that man's day any better and probably get himself marked down as an enemy rather than an ally. He turned the car at the last minute, throwing open the passenger side door. The car would admittedly hit the back of the man's legs but he'd apologize for any possible pain that caused later because that was technically his plan. He knocked the man so he'd fall into the passenger seat.

Once he was safely in, he reached across, closing the side door and speeding away mere seconds before the fist collided with the ground. He kept driving straight, the Charger teleporting them outside the stadium where it screeched as he hit the breaks and brought it to a halt. He was already rolling down the windows as he said to his new guest, "You're one of the good guy's right?" His fiery eyes cast a look at the other man, noting the pentagram, the way it sizzled. That wasn't normal but it seemed like his kind of normal - This was definitely his life now.

"Or do I need to put you in the trunk?" he added, jabbing a thumb in the direction of the trunk but neglecting to explain the portal to Hell it contained. He put the Charger in reverse. "Either way, we need to head back in there and send those things back to..." He paused, frowning in thought. "Hell? I'm going to guess Hell." He thought that was a good guess. "Unless you have objections?" Not that he was waiting for any objections. The tires screeched as he pressed down on the gas again, one arm slung on the back of his own chair, eyes behind as the Charger sped off in reverse. He wasn't trying to be rude; the situation just didn't strike him as one where he could afford to pause and form a direct plan. Too much seemed to be at stake.

The Hell Charger teleported back into the stadium, taking both driver and passenger with it.
