Detailed Information of Superhero
A Friend (Earth 616)
During a time when Mephisto was manipulating Johnny Blaze, aka Ghost Rider, into believing he was the biblical Satan, he also either posed as, or changed one of his demons into a mysterious savior who resembled Jesus. After foiling a plot by "Satan" to take John's soul, this entity told John he was "a friend", and appeared in his life a number of times. While John believed he may have been Jesus, it was later revealed by "Satan" that it was yet another manipulation on his part to try and steal Blaze's soul.

TRIVIA
The "friend" was never identified as God or Jesus Christ in the comics, although the resemblance was intentional and obvious. Behind-the-scenes concerns from editorial altered Tony Isabella's script so that the "friend" was explicitly called out as a phony by the Devil in later issues.
