10 Horror Superheroes Who Give Villains Nightmares
1. Ghost Rider
Who else could it honestly be?
As scary as The Spectre is, he has to DO something for you to take that naked guy in speedo and cape look seriously. Ghost Rider on the other hand? Yeah, no, any bad guy on the wrong end of this dude's skull takes him seriously the moment he rides up. Mostly because his mere presence has caused them to s**t themselves.
While the character hasn't had that many stand out stories or characters, EVERYONE knows the look. It's not only bottomless in its badass-ness, but when drawn by the right artist, he's legitimately terrifying to both the reader and the poor sap he's going after.
Ghost Rider is the spirit of vengeance, given to those wronged by the world to reap terrible and mighty vengeance against wrongdoers. And like The Spectre, his methods are - shall we say - brutal.
From the penance stare, which literally causes your past sins to burn your soul from within you, to his insane pyrokinetic abilities that let him burn alive anyone who doesn't feel like having a staring contest with the flaming skull man.
There is simply no question about it. The Ghost Rider is the scariest superhero ever created. And he's sure to give villains everywhere nightmares reeking of brimstone for years to come.
