What Does The Ghost Ronin Ride? Avengers #58 Spoilers
The Ghist Ronin character first got a brief airing in the recent Avengers #50/#650, Musashi Miyamoto, the Samurai Of Vengeance, a lost character in time. A Ghost Rider with nothing to ride. But in today's Avengers #68, it is all about the Ghost Ronin as the Avengers are flung through time, trying to keep up with Mephisytop but constantly distracted.
Today's Avengers #58 sees him classed in the long line of the human manifestations of the Spirit Of Vengeance, known as Ghost Riders. They have ridden motorbikes, cars, sace ships, wooly mammoths, giant spiders and Celestials.
But this Ghost Ronin seems to have nothing to ride.
No chains of guns, this Ghost Rider sports swords.
Instead "riding" is redefined in this time, in this place, for this spirit of vengeance.
He rides the night? So he is… Night Rider? Maybe let's not go there. But that suggests a kinship with Nighthawk, a character who was once forgotten until revived for the Avwengers with the rest of the Squadron Supreme.
A promise not to be forgotten? I do get the feeling that an addition to a toyline inspired by the current multiversal Avengers and Avengers Forever must be on the cards at some point., especially with these other Avengers to follow… with Reio Phoenix And The Starbrand Kid to add to the canon.
