The Story
Johnny was with Barton Blaze in a father/son motorcycle stunt performance in a traveling circus, with Roxanne Simpson as his sweetheart. When he learned of his father’s life-threatening cancer, Johnny sold his soul to Mephisto in return for Barton’s cancer to be cured. But Barton died soon after in a stunt gone wrong, though actually murdered by Mephisto himself. After being infused with the Ghost Rider powers, Johnny left Roxanne to keep her out of harm’s way. Years later, after seeing Roxanne, settling his affairs with her, Johnny was forced by Mephisto to track down Blackheart, who had no soul to use the stare on until he gains the contract and then Ghost Rider uses the pennance stare and eventually defeating him to be free of the contract he made. Though he succeeds in regaining his soul, Johnny refused to give up being the Ghost Rider, intending to use the very power Mephisto bestowed against him.
