Marvel has beenteasing that a known villain will soon take over as a new Spirit of Vengeancein the upcoming Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance limited series, and now the publisher has revealed the villain who will take up the mantle: the Hood.
Along with the announcement, Marvel has revealed Juan Ferreyra’s cover of Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #2 as well as series artist Danny Kim’s design for the Hood as the Spirit of Vengeance.
“Armed with a demonic cloak and dark mystical abilities, Parker Robbins’ undying lust for more power and fortune has made one of the Marvel Universe’s dangerous threats,” reads Marvel’s official announcement. “Now with the Spirit of Vengeance claiming what’s left of his soul, there’s no stopping his bloody takeover of the criminal underworld. By the time Johnny Blaze is able to claw his way back from the abyss to reclaim the Spirit of Vengeance, it’ll be far too late!”
“Some villains you know all too well. Doctor Doom. Thanos. Mephisto. But I find it especially fun to bring the lesser known baddies out of the shadows and give them a shot at a starring role. That’s what I did with Omega Red during X Lives of Wolverine/X Deaths of Wolverine - and that’s what I’m doing now with Ghost Rider,” Percy states in the announcement.
“The Hood wants a taste of the big time. And he’s made a deal with the devil to help him on his way. This is what happens when the Spirit of Vengeance is stripped from Johnny Blaze and grafted on to a character who has no moral compass. An epic crime saga - flavored with horror - awaits readers in Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance.”
