10Demon Town
The town of Hayden ’s Falls is a picturesque biotic community where everyone is happy , and nothing bad ever happens at all . At least , that ’s what they want Johnny Blaze to believe . Debuting at the offset of the currentGhost Riderrun inGhost RiderVol . 10 # 1 by Benjamin Percy and Cory Smith , Hayden ’s Falls is a simulated township created by a horde of fiend lead by Blackheart to keep Johnny Blaze trapped in a land of blissful stasis , thus neutralize the Ghost Rider .
When the veil comes down , it ’s break that every neighbor , friend , and favorite in the Ithiel Town was a hideous demon , twisting normal , running , and happy phratry liveliness into a nightmarish hellscape of paranoia and murder . The Demon Town is psychologically distressing and visually horrific , making it way too vivid for the MCU .
9Demon Parasite
An integral part of the ‘ Demon Town ’ architectural plan working , the Demon Parasite is a resident of hellhole that tunnel itself deep inside Johnny ’s brain . Not only does it cloud his judgement and make him wonder what ’s existent , but it also dun him by disclose itself in small means before evaporate entirely , total to Johnny ’s ever - uprise bedevilment and paranoia .
When the Demon Parasite full break itself inGhost Rider#6 by Benjamin Percy and Brent Peeples , it ’s shown to essentially beMarvel Comics ’ version of John Carpenter ’s The Thing , making both its descriptor and go an sodding horrorshow the the likes of of which would not be appropriate for a sept - favorable MCU project .
8Motel Demon
This entering is perhaps the most disturbing on this tilt . InGhost Rider#2 by Benjamin Percy , Corey Smith , and Brent Peeples , Johnny has escaped the Demon Town and is bide at a motel called the Cave Inn . Built at the base of a mountain , the motel had hidden passageways that not only connected all the rooms through a occult tunnel , but lead late into the mountain ’s cave systems as well . While staying there , Johnny quickly learned that the motel owner was abduct multitude , bringing them deep into the cave , and sacrificing them to a demonic ‘ Old One ’ whose name could not be translate into any human language .
This demon deplete a founding father in front of his wife and young girl , all after the motel owner keep an eye on them in their way through a two - room mirror until finally abduct them . This plot line is like a mixture betweenThe RitualandBarbarian , imply it ’s not suitable for the MCU in the slightest .
7Demon Circus
Actually , perhaps this one is a tad more perturbing than the last , as it takes a antecedently established baddie ( who was pretty wacky and harmless ) and twisted him into absolute incubus fuel . specter Rider#4 by Benjamin Percy and Cory Smith enter readers to a disturbing new reading of the classic Avengers scoundrel Ringmaster . Ringmaster was arguably akin to a silver historic period Joker , meaning he was a creepy trickster , but never got up to anything too horrible . Here , however , the Ringmaster and his and his Circus of Crime are invading towns no one has ever heard of ( especially not the Avengers ) and hypnotize people to do dangerous stunts one would commonly see at a circus , though with none of the education required to do them safely .
With his fiendish upgrade , the Ringmaster became a horrific takeoff of his former ego with the add ability to take the corpses of his hypnotized victims and unite them into a sentient uniting of flesh and off-white , one strong enough to fight Ghost Rider himself . Everything about this is terrifyingly gruesome , and none of it go in the MCU .
6Highway Killer
This ingress is a bit different from the others , as it ’s not a demon or a supernatural entity of any kind , it ’s a sequential killer - one who operates in the shadow of a demon . InGhost Rider#3 by Benjamin Percy , Corey Smith , and Brent Peeples , Ghost Rider finds himself on a forgotten highway that ca n’t be found on GPS , and for unspoiled cause . This stint of route belongs to a demon - have truck that murders people by run their cars off the road . One man discovered this disconsolate turning point of the United States and decided to hold out in the shadow of this demon , becoming a serial killer who ’d never be caught , as he frames every slaying he commits as a grisly railway car accident that would likely never even be inquire .
This villain is a bit too real for the fantastic MCU , as it ’s just someone who prey on the unsuspecting to fulfill their own murderous fancy .
5Animal Zombies
While these ‘ villains ’ are in all probability the most harmless on this list , this entree is well one of the more upsetting . InGhost Rider#8 by Benjamin Percy and Cory Smith , Ghost Rider is closing in on Blackheart and his nefarious scheme to take over the world . While sit towards Blackheart ’s presumed location , Ghost Rider is attacked by a horde of zombified animals . While he dispatch them fairly chop-chop and without much worry , the sight of bears , wolves , and deer contort and mutilating their own body to get at Ghost Rider and his friend is undeniably disconcerting .
No young audience phallus would want to see this in a normally family - friendly MCU film , as these baddie would be disgraceful to see for anyone not prepared for an R - rated horror movie .
4Dentist Demon, Church Demon, Toilet Demon
InGhost Rider#10 by Benjamin Percy and Cory Smith , Blackheart ’s plan to take over the world require a major step forward , as three herculean and influential people are possess at the same time . One of them was possessed at the dentist ’s office , another in a church , and the third in a bathroom procrastinate . Each demon was more fantastic than the last , and all of them attacked in area that are loosely considered unsettling or shivery , even though these are areas people are reckon to feel secure and unassailable .
inscrutable - seated fears experienced by practically everyone in mod society are select to the extreme by theseGhost Ridervillains , which mean they ’re probably not the best regretful guys to let in in an MCU film .
3Church of the Flayed
The Church of the Flayed debuted inGhost Rider#16 by Benjamin Percy and Chris Campana , and there is absolutely no way these guys will make it in the MCU . The story of this supernatural cult begin with one fellow member who wish to be the last . This mysterious mortal wore a crown with a punk , and underneath that hood , they did n’t have a face . More accurately , there was no skin on their face . This somebody bump three disjoined Ghost Riders , stole each of their faces , and temporarily used the superpower of the Spirit of Vengeance to kill every member of the Church of the Flayed until this person was the last one .
While this ‘ villain ’ fall the Ghost Riders ’ world power after they used them , they ’re still a horrifying entity that belong to an even more horrifying religion . The Church of the Flayed revere an ancient ‘ peel God ’ , and exercise their worship by flaying themselves alive , only clinging to life by the cursed seemliness of their twisted deity .
2Exhaust
This villain would be a nerveless one to make for to live military action if the MCU allowed for an R - rat Ghost Rider movie , but would be far too grotesque to seem in anything that ’s supposed to be suitable for all ages . exhaust fumes debut inGhost Rider#7 , but technically made his first appearance inGhost Rider#1 , as Exhaust is the last form of the Demon Parasite . After the parasite was violently exercised from Johnny ’s body by Wolverine , it scamper inside a corpse lying nearby and reshaped the dead human consistence into a atrocious form of flesh and machine with the ability to create demonic exhaust that had the power to transform its victims into skinless fiend puppets .
A really cool baddie and the perfect antithesis of Ghost Rider ( indeed , it copied almost everything about him during its prison term as Johnny ’s genius parasite ) , but a act too acute for a non - gas constant - blackleg MCU project .
1Talia Warroad
A former member of the Cult of Mephisto , Talia Warroad is currently on a mission of redemption , using her inherently secret power to fight alongside Ghost Rider against the force of evil she once worshiped . Talia Warroad was born with a 6th sense , allowing her to not only see bushed people , but also the physical manifestation of utter evilness that ’s metaphysically present across the total creation . She was contain with this ability , which is why she used to be a ‘ baddie ’ who committed heinous acts of violence in Mephisto ’s name ( as unwrap inGhost Rider#18 - 19 ) .
What ’s interesting about Talia is that she ’s a character who could in all probability never be adapt in the MCU , even as an ally of Ghost Rider . Due to the very nature of her power , Talia would have to be water - down to an unrecognisable degree to appear in anything that ’s not an R - rated film , as the stuff she sees is psychologically dreaded and unspeakably disturbing ( which , as it happen , is why she ’s the coolest addition to Ghost Rider lore to day of the month ) .
While there are for sure other villain throughout Ghost Rider ’s many decades of publishing history that are undeniably terrifying , they do n’t hold a candle to the ones featured inGhost Rider ’s latest volume . These are not only the most recent bad guys the character has faced , but are also well the most gruesome , making these 10Ghost Ridervillains way too R - rated for theMCU .
