Robbie Reyes is different from the Ghost Rider mould with him being the youngest but he has the responsibility of looking after his disabled brother Gabe. Reyes is the newest incarnation of the Spirit of Vengeance and I find his story more captivating than the anti-hero himself. I just didn't care for the human side of the stories - until we got Robbie Reyes. Don't get me wrong Johnny Blaze and Danny Keitch are good but (personally) their characters have not been relatable to me with Blaze being a stunt driver and made a deal with the devil.
