Warning ! This clause carry spoiler for Ghost Rider # 18ThroughoutGhost Rider ’s Marvel Comics story , no matter the incarnation , they ’ve had the reputation of being cursed with Marvel ’s most terrific world power , as experiencing what it is to be a Ghost Rider is systematically described as a living inferno . However , in the newest addition toGhost Riderlore , there ’s another reference who has asuperpower that ’s well way sorry than that of the Spirit of Vengeance . In fact , this person ’s mightiness makes Ghost Rider ’s ‘ cuss ’ seem tame by comparison , and this person - in - question is Johnny Blaze ’s current fellow and love - interest , Talia Warroad .
Talia Warroad is a former federal agent of SHIELD and FBI agent who specializes in the supernatural and the supernatural . Introduced in the first issue of this ongoingGhost Riderrun , Talia immediately exhibited something of a ‘ sixth sense ’ when it comes to the preternatural cases she ’s allot . In fact , Talia quite literally has a sixth sense , as she ’s able to see demonic or otherwise exit entities that cohere to the deathly plane . That ’s why she was the everlasting alternative for the ‘ Ghost Rider ’ grammatical case , as the Spirit of Vengeance became someone far too powerful to stay on uncurbed , and the politics decided it was clock time to change that . As risible as that seems , Talia gayly took the case . Not to arrest Ghost Rider , but to partner up with him ( in more ways than one ) . And now , with their alinement solidify , both Johnny Blaze and Marvel Comics ’ lector are learning a bit more about why and how Talia is so drawn to the supernatural - and it ’s horrifying .
Talia Warroad’s ‘Supernatural Sight’ Power Is Scarier Than Ghost Rider’s
In a prevue forGhost Rider#18 by Benjamin Percy and Carlos Nieto , Talia Warroad explain that she has the inherent power to ‘ see stagnant hoi polloi ’ , and while that ’s a bit of information that readers already knew , she elaborates further by explaining that this power manifested when she was just a little girlfriend . While lie in bed next to Johnny Blaze , Talia sees a harmless spirit lingering in the recess . This present moment make her think of the first entity she witness as a piddling miss lie in her bed , asterisk at the ceiling . It was then she meet the font of a monster that reached her through a supernatural ‘ stain ’ in her parents ’ house .
Talia was able to use her gifts to trailblaze her career , and finally meet someone who may be the dear of her life . However , the realism of having the king to see demon and touch everywhere - specially since it started when she was just a little girl - is dead atrocious . This is n’t to discount the infliction and repulsion experienced by Ghost Riders , but at least there ’s a sense of business leader and protection in the face of evil that number with being a Ghost Rider . Talia , on the other hand , could only gaze upon these transcendental horrors , totally vulnerable . Her gifts urge on her to get a line different forms of magic and conjuration to better defend herself , but Talia ’s top executive alone offer no security whatsoever .
Ghost Rider ’s powers link his person to hell , opening him up to an evil so concentrated , most humans ca n’t even penetrate the repulsion . But Talia ’s powers allow her to glint into the same hellscape that seeps into the physical human race on a daily basis , which - as bring out by this preview - start when she was a nestling , which is why Talia Warroad ’s terrific major power makesGhost Rider ’s seem tame .
