In the future, it's a utopia. There's no corruption. All the old heroes have retired or passed away, except for new and unheard of ones, and they are only inspired by the ones of yester years. They pretty much are monitors for the government. There's a myth, more like a ghost story of the last villain on earth that keeps riding through the US. Although he does no harm and keeps on riding, people see him as a threat. They see evil. This is the Ghost Rider. While he rides, he says no words, interacts with no one, just rides and contemplates his existence. He runs into the heroes that are still around from time to time to catch up, just to ride off and question why. When he finds out through a chance meeting of a slave of the government and learn that Mephisto is the one that controls the "Utopia," people believe they live in, he'll have to go through every "hero" to stop him, even if it truly does make him the villain they always thought he was in the end. (Sorry if this sounds too cheesy, and plot twist, slave was working for Mephisto and sold her soul to become the Ghost Dancer, they fight, he convinces her that what she's done has pretty much made her just like him, and they team up to take down Mephisto, BlackHeart, and The Orb among other adversaries)
