Hell of a weapon.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ghost Rider has the potential to become the Marvel Universe’s most dangerous weapon, as the notorious Weapons Plus program seeks to harness his great powers for evil ends in Ghost Rider #17, part two of the "Weapons of Vengeance” storyline, which features the Spirit of Vengeance teaming up with Wolverine.
Ghost Rider #17 – written by Benjamin Percy, drawn by Geoff Shaw, colored by Rain Beredo and lettered by Travis Lanham – has Johnny Blaze and Wolverine teaming up to uncover a special Weapons Plus facility, one that specializes in Hellfire research, after unknowingly coming into contact with it years before while protecting a young boy named Bram.
Ghost Rider is Irresistible to Weapon Plus The Weapon Plus program has a long history in the Marvel Universe, stretching back to its earliest days. Its purpose is to create super-soldiers to fight in wars –namely against mutants. The first product of the Weapon Plus program, or Weapon One, was Captain America. Other products of Weapon Plus include Man-Thing, Luke Cage and of course, Wolverine, who was designated Weapon X.
A being as powerful as Ghost Rider has undeniable appeal to the Weapon Plus program, and his ability to control Hellfire ups the ante even more. Hellfire is a potent weapon, and if Weapon Plus was to find a way to control it for their own ends, it could spell bad news for both mutants and humanity; very few can withstand the heat of Hellfire. Ghost Rider’s Penance Stare could also be effectively weaponized as well–in this issue it was used to extract information.
The Weapon Plus’ program’s interest in Ghost Rider comes at one of the worst times for mutants. Orchis, an anti-mutant extremist organization, launched an all-out assault at the Hellfire Gala, causing the Fall of Krakoa and leading to a new mutant Diaspora. Nations around the world, including Canada, are rejecting mutants once more, threatening to hunt them done. The Weapon Plus program, created to fight mutants, has now set its sights on Ghost Rider, seeking to weaponize his Hellfire powers.
