While Doctor Strange battles Dormammu within the mind of the Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze finds himself inhabiting Strange’s body, face to face with his demonic alter ego. While the Ghost Rider is nearly mindless, lashing out at Blaze and Clea with all his hellish fury, Strange and Dormammu continue their war within the demon’s mind. Blaze, seeing the opportunity to pay the Ghost Rider back for all the misery he’s had to endure, takes on the demon in a physical fight that serves to interrupt the battle on the astral plane. Doctor Strange is able to exorcise Dormammu from the Ghost Rider’s mind, returning Blaze and himself to their rightful bodies. Their victory is short-lived, however, as a newcomer addresses them from the shattered window above. The Bounty Hunter has arrived to capture Johnny Blaze, who transforms into the Ghost Rider and creates his fiery motorcycle. The Ghost Rider leads the Bounty Hunter on a race through the streets of New York City, but is eventually overcome in a dead-end alley. Blaze lays unconscious while the Bounty Hunter stands over him, holding the wanted poster and stating that “nobody escapes the Bounty Hunter”.
