"Michael Knightt" started out in a car, and his name "Knightt Rider," for that fact, didn't make sense.

 

GR started out RIDING a horse, then RIDING a motorcycle.

 

If you aren't going to have him RIDING something like he always has, call him something else - "The Spirit Of Vengeance" can certainly drive a car, as could "Zarathos."

 

Oi vey...

He's ridding in a car.

 

(shrug)

Ooohhh... :idea:

 

Now it makes sense!!! KIT was essentially driving itself. So Michael was pretty much riding, right? So, in that sense he is riding in a car (KIT) as you say. But Ghost Rider would surely be DRIVING the car... so he's not really riding in it. :insane:

 

What a "fun" discussion on semantics! :D I think it's just Ghost Rider is iconic on his flaming motorcycle (or for you old-timers, a horse).... putting him in a car is changing something significant about the character. That's like giving Captain America a star-spangled sword now to "spice things up"...

I'm amazed that it's considered that important. Whether he rides a horse, bike, car or skate board, Ghost Rider sounds better than Ghost Driver. How many comic character names are there that could be picked apart if anyone felt like it?

Take away Cap's shield to give him a sword, and you have a great analogy.

Giving Steve Rogers as Cap a sword instead of a shield would not make sense to that character. Giving Johnny Blaze as Ghost Rider a car instead of a bike would not make sense to that character.

 

Giving a different character as Ghost Rider a car instead of a bike does not break any established continuity. Sure, he could be called Ghost Driver but does anyone really care about that?

Probably more than you think.

Apparently no one cares either way. They 456th rebooting of GR kinda proves that.

 

Hey, I know... let's put Wonder Woman on an invisble motorcycle instead of her jet. We can make all kinds of comments on how she is bent over while moving at high speeds!

 

:lol:
