Create a NEW Ghost rider

If we're combining characters:

GhostD.O.K.!!

That's a good one too! lol

Not a fan of "the kid" / "the teen" / "youth". Many things have been ruining Marvel comics for many years now and "kid superheroes" are pretty high up on that list.

I know, right? That darn Spider-Man who started when he was 15 ruined everything!
Actually, I blame Bucky Barnes! lol

An Air Force pilot with flaming jet- Ace Rider!

Yeah but Spider-Man was an anomaly and that made it interesting. A 15 year old on his own fighting crime and trying to make more out of himself by calling himself a man and not a boy. And that in a world where Batman had Robin, Superman hat Supergirl, Aquaman had Aqualad and Flash had Kid Flash. I hate all of that. All of that is horrible and that's with all of those heroes having mentors – unlike Spider-Man during his early days.

I'm talking about modern Marvel kid heroes where the tone of the comics has shifted to accommodate them. Now you have a 9-year-old Wolverine named Honey Badger and whatever Moon Girl is supposed to be. Imagine a 13-year-old Ghost Rider, a demonic superhero with leather, chains and a flaming skull who sends bad guys to emotional hell with the penance hell. Hell no, I don't want that.

I don't know. A Green Machine driving adolescent Ghost Rider might be kinda fun. Just imagine this with flames driven by a kid who clearly needs an exorcism.

Take the concept of DCs DEADMAN - a Disembodied Spirit that possesses the bodies of the living and utilizes their abilities to do his work and flip it around and make a literal GHOST RIDER - a Living Being that is aware and connected to the spirits in the ether around them and is able to utilize the ghosts abilities.

Rob Halford won't become the Ghost Rider. He already is. Just give him superpowers and get on with it.

prepare for some backlash: the Anti-Woke crowd would say this was "pushing a gay agenda"

side note: I met Rob Halford in a record store, in 1994. I was 17 at the time. his 90s band Fight were in town that night. I told him he should quit trying to copy Pantera and just go back to what everyone loves him for lol. he had a guy with him who I assumed, at the time, was his security/bodyguard. years later when he came out, I thought back on this whole encounter with a different take on that pairing. I don't think a bodyguard would have reacted to me as harshly as the guy with Rob did: he started looming menacingly toward my friends and I, they all hauled ass faster than I could blink, I turned twice between him and where my friends had been, said "well, I'd better go catch those assholes!" and hauled my own ass out of there before this guy could pick me up and throw me out lol

I was a teenager when Fight started, and I clearly remember that a music channel reported that Rob Halford had just announced that he was gay, followed by the video for "Immortal Sin" (no pun intended, it was just the new videoclip). My first reaction was basically "yeah, so what? Who cares? Hey, cool song!". In later years, although I kept my indifference towards artists' private lives (the only things I care about a musician are those music-related), I understood why coming out was a big thing. Besides, as of 1993 it was still a thing with few precedents, in later years other artists from other fields also revealed themselves to be gay (and my reaction was always "If I didn't care when Halford himself said it, why should I care about this other sportsman I barely know anything about?"). And then... Rob Halford reveals that he's gay. My reaction was "But... everybody knew that already, didn't they? Was I the only one who heard it back in 1993?"
