History
The motorcycle belonging to the Ghost Rider possessing Dan Ketch is a solid black back, possessing flaming wheels and it has the Medallion of Power as a gas cap. Originally, Dan had to touch the gas cap to transform into Ghost Rider, but he later learned that the power was within himself all along. The bike had several supernatural abilities, including:
- Control: The bike responds to the mental commands of the Ghost Rider. It will stop at nothing to get to him when he calls for it.
- Reformation: The bike could not be destroyed by any means. When blown up by one of the men working for Flag-Smasher, Ghost Rider reformed it by sheer will.
- Surface Traction: The bike can cling to the surface of just about any material. It has been seen going up the sides of buildings, as well as riding on the surface of water without sinking.
- Battering Ram: The front fender of the bike can be lowered and used as a battering ram to plow through other vehicles and walls.
