Ghost Rider's powers are derived from a pact made with Mephistopheles, a powerful demon. The process typically involves a deal where the individual sacrifices their soul in exchange for supernatural abilities. This deal grants them the power of the Ghost Rider, a fiery skeletal being that dispenses justice upon evildoers.
For example, Johnny Blaze, the most well-known Ghost Rider, made a pact with Mephistopheles to save his father's life. This deal resulted in Johnny becoming the Ghost Rider, cursed with the fiery visage and supernatural abilities.
However, the exact details of the pact can vary depending on the specific Ghost Rider's origin story. Some versions have the individual willingly choosing to become the Ghost Rider, while others depict them being forced into the pact. Regardless of the specifics, the core principle remains the same: the Ghost Rider gains their powers through a pact with Mephistopheles.
