Ghost Rider on a train?

Post by EvilMonkeyPope » 05 Mar 2023, 05:24

If a Ghost Rider transforms aboard a train, does the whole thing become a Hell-locomotive? Or do they have to commandeer the engine first?

Not every Ghost Rider has the ability to imbue random vehicles with Hell-power. This seems to be a somewhat unique or impressive feat from Robbie Reyes as the "All-Rider". John Blaze has done so occasionally, but usually when the Spirit of Vengeance itself is in control of his Ghost Rider, instead of John himself. Naturally, Ghost the Rider from 1,000,000 B.C. could choose new mounts if his wholly mammoths died, and it may be directly from him that Reyes inherited the power. Typically, the "mount" of a Spirit of Vengeance is chosen at the moment of manifestation, be it a motorcycle, Charger, beast, or otherwise, and it remains that way.

But yes, when a Ghost Rider has the power to empower new "rides", they don't need to be "in control" of the vehicle to do so. They may not even need physical contact if they can project hellfire at a distance to transform the vehicle.

Considering that the Old West Ghost Rider's "ride" was a horse, suppose he had a different mount, say something reasonable like a mule, or something ridiculous like a velociraptor. This is probably complete speculation, but could he ride a "ghost velociraptor"?

EDIT: Nevermind, I somehow missed your answer about the mammoths above, so I guess this has been more or less answered.

Squirrel Girl hypothesized Robbie Reyes could ride Triscareatops:

This is exactly the A+ thorough explanation I was hoping for. Thank you!
