Golden Age Origin
Federal marshal Rex Fury wore a white outfit, covered with phosphorus, with a cape that had phosphorescent on one side and black on the other.
Rex used the black side of the cape to cover parts of his body, to give the illusion he was merely a floating head or pair of hands. To Further the illusion, he wielded a black lariat and a black bullwhip, so he could appear to grab things at a distance and even his twin six-guns and his horse, Spectre, glowed in the dark. Originally the Ghost Rider had a different identity, The Calico Kid, but he abandoned it in favor of his new spooky persona.He was assited by a young Chinese boy named Sing Song who had been helping him before he even adopted the Ghost Rider persona.
The Ghost Ride battled many supernatural foes some who like him were not truly supernatural at all such as an impostor of Frankenstein (A-1) and others who were the real deal such as werewolves and vampires.
