8 Iconic Superheroes Who Made Incredibly Dumb Decisions
5. Blackheart Eliminates His Immunity To Ghost Riders Penance Stare (Ghost Rider)
Another villain now, and this ones entire plan is stupid. Blackheart turns out to be immune from Ghost Riders penance stare as he has no soul to burn- fantastic, right? Make the most of that one, Blackheart! Oh wait, he absorbs 1,000 souls. Good move. After this turns him into Legion, Ghost Rider figures out the presence of the condemned souls allow him to perform the penance stare. Hooray!
Maybe he only realised the full, overriding consequences of his plan in retrospect, but Blackheart really shouldve got there sooner, or waited the five extra minutes required for the sun to come up and turn Ghost Rider back into Nicolas Cage (interesting fact, Nicolas Cage wasnt actually acting: much like in the Dreamworks film Bolt, he actually believed himself to be the host of an arch angel).
Theres a lesson here, kids: if youre trying to overthrow your father as ruler of Hell, dont deliberately make yourself vulnerable to your enemys biggest power.
