FIRES OF HEAVEN
Given dominion over the elements, the Spirits usually use cleansing flame as their weapons. In Danny's case, his connection to the angel Uriel, and thus straight to Heaven is that much stronger being that Uriel shares 1/4 of his soul.
Rather than the reddish hellfires of other Spirits, Ketch's flames burn a brilliant blue, almost white hot. In all other aspects Ketch's powers match those of all other Spirits of Vengeance, he simply has a greater degree of control over them.
The control he has, is sufficient to form and hurl fireballs of celestial flames, or spew them from his jaws like a white hot flamethrower. He can even manifest his chain or shotgun or even his motorcycle out of pure heavenfire if separated from the physical objects.
GHOST RIDING
A large aspect of Ketch's powers is to infuse mortal vehicles or objects with his flames and transform them into tools and weapons in his war against evil. Most famously, his motorcycle. It transforms when he does, and gains an intelligence of it's own.
It will come to his side when summoned, no matter the barriers between them.
It can ride across water, up walls and across ceilings with no trouble.
Wreathed in the same flames as the Ghost Rider, it leaves a trail of flames behind him.
Is almost as durable as Ghost Rider himself is. And can be reformed by force of will if damaged or shattered.
GHOST WEAPONRY
A subset of the Ghost Riding ability, Ghost Riders can infuse everyday objects with their own essence. For Danny, that is the very fires of heaven. His weapons of choice are as follows.
Chain: Ketch infuses a simple metal link chain with Heavenfire, granting it the same incredible resilience that the Ghost Rider enjoys. Additionally, it burns with his flames, and responds mentally to his commands, growing as long as he wants it, and wrapping itself around anything he desires.
Shotgun: A Remington Spartan sawed off shotgun, double barrel. As powerful a short ranged weapon as can be had. Now infused with the fires of heaven, it spews white hot fireballs when fired, wreaking havoc on foes and anything behind them as well.
PENANCE STARE
A signature ability of the Ghost Riders, this is nothing more or less than to be able to call up and force feed all the taint and evil and wrongdoing a person has ever done, in a single violent assault on their mind and soul. The less evil a person has done, the less effective it is. Certain individuals are immune to this, normally those lacking a soul to burn.
SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE
Empowered by agents of God itself, the Ghost Riders are incredibly resilient beings.
Durability and Stamina: Fueled by Heaven itself, a Ghost Rider (the spirit, not necessarily the human host.) Is immortal. They will not age, or tire. They do not fatigue. They can take incredible punishment, and are immune to flames of any kind. Only a weapon forged in heaven that takes the spirits head can truly kill it, and being that Spirits of Vengeance ARE weapons of heaven, they can technically kill each other.
Supernatural Strength: Being that the Ghost Riders doesn't exactly have a gym membership, the upper limits of their physical strength is unknown, but they can been witnessed performing feats usually limited to the upper echelons of superhumans.
Supernatural Speed: Physics don't mean much to a spirit, and when needed, Ghost Riders can move impossibly fast. Appearing almost to teleport, they will hunt down evildoers no matter the distance.
Regeneration: Despite their impressive resilience to damage, Ghost Riders can be hurt or temporarily put down. But they will simply get back up again, again and again... they cannot be stopped forever. This extends to a small degree to their human hosts. Injuries to the human body heal when transformed and heal at an accelerated rate when not transformed.
Empath: Spirits of Vengeance can sense emotion and 'taint' as easily and naturally as you or I can feel heat or cold. They cannot turn it off, they get it all the time. When human, Danny gets a vague sense from those around him, it gets stronger as they get closer. Transformed, The Ghost Rider's sense is magnified a thousand fold. This means they sense when evil is near, they can feel the taint upon a person soul. Smell it. And they will follow that scent to destroy the thing that stinks.
WRATH OF GOD
The Spirits of Vengeance are aptly named. Immortal spirits created by God (yes THAT god) as an alternative to the Great Flood, to punish sin, and combat evil, both mundane and supernatural. The do this by being so much worse. Appearing as demons, of flame and wrath.. They combat evil in all it's forms. From the most horrid thing the depths of hell can conjure to a man slapping his wife around.
