50 free Ghost Rider trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Ghost Rider is one of the strangest figures in comics: a stunt rider who bargains with the devil and ends up with a flaming skull, a hellfire motorcycle and a duty to hunt the wicked. Since his debut in the 1970s the name has passed between several characters, and it reached cinemas in 2007 with Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze, facing Mephisto and his ambitious son Blackheart. This quiz covers the whole story. There are questions on the 2007 film and its sequel, Spirit of Vengeance: the plot, the cast, the villains and how both were made. Others go back to the comics, from the Rider's creation to later versions such as Robbie Reyes, and out to television and video games, including where Blackheart turned up beyond the film. The opening questions suit anyone who has seen the films, so the quiz works for a casual movie night. The later ones are for readers who know the comics and the stories behind the production.
