Blackheart

Blackheart was the main villain in Ghost Rider played by Wes Bentley. He is the son of Mephistopheles (the devil who turned Johnny Blaze into Ghost Rider. He is more powerful than his father because, unlike his father, he has never fallen. He is very powerful, possesing the power to burn people alive with a single touch.

In the movie, he escapes the Underworld to cause chaos in the surface world and overthrow his father. He takes over a bar in the middle of the desert and summons forth the Hidden. After Mephistopheles finds out about his escape, he sends Ghost Rider out to bring Blackheart back. Each time Ghost Rider lets Blackheart get away while destroying a member of the Hidden.

After every member of the Hidden is destroyed, Blackheart desides to destroy Ghost Rider himself, killing Johnny's best friend in the process. Ghost Rider attempts to preform the Penance Stare on Blackheart. This however, doesn't work due to Blackheart being souless. Blackheart once again escapes, this time with Roxanne and an ancient scroll of condemned souls that Blackheart was searching for.

Ghost Rider later finds them in a graveyard. Blackheart then reads the spell on the scroll, turning him into the demon Legion. Ghost Rider later realises that he can now preform the Penance Stare on Blackheart due to him being filled with the condemned souls. After doing so, Mephistopheles arrives and takes his son's corpse to the Underworld.

Blackheart's appearance is very different from that of the comics. In the comics, Blackheart was a large, black demon with tentacles for hair and a long tail. Here, he is a normal human in appearance dressed in black with pale skin and dark hair. However, sometimes, he takes the form of a blue demon. After becoming Legion, he appears as a dark blue demon with sharp fangs and glowing red eyes.
