Now, Johnny travels the highways of America, using his hellborn powers on the evil of the world, all while preparing for his final showdown with Blackheart."

Johnny Blaze, a young stunt rider in a traveling show, learns that his guardian and mentor, Crash Simpson, has contracted a rare form of cancer, and plans to do one last stunt before he dies, much to the protests of Johnny and his daughter, Roxanne. With no other choice, Johnny utilizes a Satanic ritual that summons a demon named Blackheart, who serves as the show's main antagonist. Blackheart agrees to cure Simpson of his cancer, but in exchange, Johnny must give up his own soul, to which he reluctantly agrees. On the day of Crash's final stunt, Blackheart manipulates events in his favor, killing Simpson in the middle of the stunt. Furious that Blackheart cheated on their deal, Johnny refuses to go thru with his end of the bargin, which only infuriates Blackheart. To torture Johnny, the demon merges him with the essence of a more powerful demon named Zarthos, who had been defeated eons earlier by Blackheart's father, Mephisto. Only the love Roxanne has for Johnny prevented Blackheart from claiming Johnny's soul, hence the merging. As a result, Johnny and Zarthos must reluctantly work together to ensure that no one else will be harmed by evil like Johnny was; by day, Johnny is normal, but when nightfalls, Johnny and Zarthos merge to become the Ghost Rider, a motorcycle riding being with supernatural strength and invulernabilty, the power to project both fire and hellfire, an enchanted chain, a rifile that shoots bolts of hellfire, and a power called the Penance Stare, which induces pain and insanity into the minds of evil doers.
