Spirit of Vengeance is an extremely powerful, inter-dimensional demonic entity that bonds with individuals who bear desperation and a desire for vengeance, changing them into a Ghost Rider. The Spirit of Vengeance was trapped in a dimension called Hell, but he managed to escape and reached the Earth Plane, making a vow that he would never go back to his former prison. The Spirit eventually bonded with Johnny Blaze, turning him into Ghost Rider.
Host Former Host Abilities
The extent of the Spirit of Vengeance's powers are unknown but it's clear that the entity is an extremely powerful one. Its feats are visibly seen through the Ghost Rider.
- Vessel Possession : Through making a deal or sensing the hungry desire of retribution from and to a potential human host, the Spirit of Vengeance will possess its victim transforming him/her into the Ghost Rider. This can be done by simply touching the host or transferring itself to another human. Upon escaping from Robbie's body, whose body was phasing out of the Earth realm and into Hell, the Spirit of Vengeance took possession of Alphonso Mackenzie without his consent or striking a deal with him.
- Host Empowerment : The Spirit of Vengeance can imbue the person he possesses with immeasurable supernatural power. Even when his hosts are in control, they display only a degree of his supernatural capabilities, such as increased physical abilities as well as a degree of fire manipulation. But, when the Spirit takes control, the body becomes invulnerable and its supernatural capabilities are amplified to an incredibly high degree.
- Healing : While transforming back to his human form, all of his host's wounds and injuries are instantly healed. However, Robbie's damaged skull has not regenerated. Resurrection: By taking possession of a deceased Robbie Reyes, he was able to revive him.
- Object Empowerment : The Spirit of Vengeance is able to physically protect objects of his, or his host's, choosing; such as Robbie Reyes's Charger which gets shot at, flipped over, and hits against concrete walls multiple times with no effect. Robbie Reyes's jacket also becomes bulletproof, having no holes after having multiple bullets & I.C.E.R.'s shot at it.
- Hellfire Manipulation : One of the most evident and prominent powers the Spirit is quite competent at is manipulating powerful beams of hellfire. It is capable of a variety of skills and attacks with this energy. Whenever the Spirit of Vengeance briefly takes control of the body from the person, he assumes the guise of a skeleton engulfed in hellfire.
- Dark Matter Detection : Robbie has stated that the Spirit of Vengeance is drawn to dark matter, such as Aida's body or the Darkhold.
- Inter-Dimensional Travel : The Spirit of Vengeance can travel between dimensions without using known means such as an Inter-Dimensional Gate or a Sling Ring. When its host, Robbie Reyes, got stuck between the Earth plane and Hell, drifting towards the latter, the Spirit was able to escape and get back to the Earth by leaving Reyes' body. It also admitted to escaping Hell before.
