How did Ghost Rider defeat Captain America?

Ghost Rider is considered a demon with powers that have not been fully explored, hence, he could easily defeat Captain America.

Ghost Rider is one of the most underrated characters in the Marvel universe, specifically, his portrayal in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

His powers have not been fully explored, therefore, the fact that he can easily defeat Captain America, is usually disputed.

Origin of the Ghost Rider

While he stands as one of the most well-known Marvel characters, the Ghost Rider was first introduced to the universe in 1972.

Despite his multiple interactions since his introduction, the powerful demon, Zarathos, who possesses human bodies as hosts, has had the same motivation- to use his satanic powers to protect the innocent from ungodly and supernatural forces.

How did Ghost Rider defeat Captain America?

In one of the most contentious battles, The Avengers set out on a battle with the Champions of Los Angeles. The super team included superheroes like Hercules, Black Widow, Iceman, Darkstar, the Angel, and Ghost Rider.

The battle was a result of the Spirit of Vengeance taking over Johnny Blaze and sending him into a rampage.

One of the battles was between Captain America with fellow Avenger Tigra, and Ghost Rider. Many thought this battle would easily be won by Captain America and Tigra.

However, during the battle, Captain America and Tigra were only able to dodge and counter Ghost Rider’s attacks. Eventually, the fight ended following the arrival of Iron Man and Thor.

The two only had his attention until Angel arrived and was able to calm Johnny, which was how the battle ended.

However, without the intervention of Angel, Ghost Rider would have won the battle, not just with Captain America, but with Thor and Hulk, as he had beaten them in the past.

Why is Ghost Rider so powerful?

Ghost Rider’s full potential has not been explored as Zarathos’ possession of human hosts is believed to limit the potential of his powers.

How did Ghost Rider defeat Thor?

In Uncanny Avengers Annual #1, Ghost Rider defeats Thor after revealing another one of his powers – he can grow in size, on top of spewing a volcano-full of fire into his face to make Thor retreat.

How did Ghost Rider defeat the Hulk?

While Ghost Rider has not defeated the Hulk, he was proven that he can fight him. The only way the Hulk beat him was by applying an obedience disk, killing the human host but not Zarathos.
