The Phantom Rider is a classic Marvel Comics character that was originally introduced as the Ghost Rider in Ghost Rider #1 (1967). Set in the Old West, he was created by writer Gary Friedrich and artist Dick Ayers. The first Phantom Rider was Carter Slade, a schoolteacher who became a masked vigilante after witnessing injustice. He wears a glowing white costume, rides a white horse named Banshee, and takes on the outlaws of the Old West with guns and supernatural powers. He was later renamed the Phantom Rider after the arrival of Johnny Blaze, taking the mantle of the Ghost Rider in Marvel Spotlight #5.
The Phantom Rider now lives on as Hasbro unveils its newest Marvel Legends Build-a-Figure wave. Carter Slade is back in his sleek all-white outfit with a cape and cowboy hat and comes with two revolvers. Justice to the Wild West is set to arrive in the late Fall 2025 as pre-orders for the Marvel Legends Phantom Rider debut today (10/10) on Hasbro Pulse for $27.99. Be on the lookout for more iconic Marvel Comics figures in this wave, including Warbow, Enchantress, and even WWII Logan.
