Animated Appearances

Ghostrider was animated only for commercials.


Classic Marvel Comic Appearances

By my count, Ghostrider was discernible in 52 panels in 6 issues from Sept. 1988 to Jan. 1993: #76, 80, SM 28, 115, 119, and 132. Due to similarity with the more established Marvel character of Ghost Rider, his code name did not appear in the comic, and so there was a running gag of characters being unable to remember his name.

Stealth isn't simply a matter of technology, it is a state of mind. It isn't enough to wrap yourself in a blended-wing, polymer-composite-airframe with shielded air inlets and vectored nozzles, all covered with black, "iron ball" radar absorbent paint. True stealth means having the nerve to fly "nap of the earth" at high speeds, without activating electronic sensors or guidance systems that might tip-off enemy radar! It is ridiculous to fly such an aircraft at low altitude because it was designed by engineers whose priorities centered on radar-invisibility rather than structural integrity and maneuverability. This doesn't seem to matter to GHOSTRIDER.
"Ghostrider has been working on not getting noticed since the second grade. He may have been the only person to make it through the Chicago public school system without ever cleaning an eraser or washing a blackboard. Teachers never noticed him, not because he was dull or lackluster, but because he consciously worked on not being noticed. That's how he is in the cockpit of a stealth fighter. He's WILLING himself to be invisible!"
Toy Notes: Item #6016. The prototype shown in the 1988 insert catalog has Sneak Peek's head and Heavy Metal's torso.
