I'm not knowledgable about the Avengers. Hank Pym is Goliath, Atlas, Yellowjacket, and Giant Man, correct? So far we have two REVs of the same guy in different getups in this set? (that's not a bad thing, just a question) Do we expect another REV set of him? As what?
I'm not really up w/ the old (70's) version of Ghost Rider. Why does he have Psycic Blast? If he's anything like his newer versions, I would've converted his Penance Stare as an Incapicatate...which is what the Stare does to his opponents.

Wrong.
Hank Pym *is* Yellowjacket. Hank Pym was a character named Goliath. But Clint Barton was also a character named Goliath. Neither of those is the Goliath in this set, however. The Goliath in this set is a villain who later became known as Atlas when he joined the Thunderbolts.
Hank Pym was also a character named Giant Man, but the Giant Man figure is not the same Hank Pym, but rather an alternate universe version of Hank Pym.

70's Ghost Rider would shoot blast of Hellfire from his hands that would bypass physical protection and fry your soul on the inside.
I really wish GR had the Defenders TA... other than that he's perfect. I was a bit surprised by PB but it makes sense.
Need a feat card that will grant Defenders TA now for figs like GR...

The Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider was NEVER a member of the Defenders, EVER. He was a guest star in one issue, #96, I believe.
Years later, after the demon Zarathos left Blaze's body to fight some immortal archenemy in a crystal or some silliness, Johnny Blaze, who had no powers, showed up at Angel's mountain home and did some mechanic work for them. That's it, at least until these "shotgun" days some of you young whippersnappers recall, by which time Johnny Blaze wasn't Ghost Rider anymore.
A lot of people get Defenders and Champions mixed up. They had a few of the same members throughout their respective series, and neither was all that popular.
Man oh man, I’m loving that Ghost Rider. He’s almost completely immune to Battlefield Conditions and opposing defensive feats. He doesn’t do more than 3 damage, so Power Dampening doesn’t work. His R and E versions don’t have a range higher than 6, so he’s fine with Darkness and Deep Shadows. He doesn’t have Outwit or Perplex, so White Noise is fine. He’s not stealth, so Bright Lights works great for him. He has Psychic Blast, so he cuts through Fortitude like butter. And he doesn’t have any TAs, so feel free to throw down Disassembled!
He’s probably among the most cost-effective figs we’ve seen in the current metagame. You’re only getting what you pay for, and there’s no way for your opponent to deprive you of it.
You know, this is one of the most intelligent analizations of a figure I've seen. I have to agree with Phantom 100%.

Psychic Blast is what the Danny Ketch GR should have had instead of smoke cloud of all things. I've looked through a decade of GR history and haven't seen so much as a slip of smoke coming from his hellfire. They put it in for a one panel throw away shot when he was in the fantastic four, and that is bettter represented by barrier. Anyway, PB is a great representation of the soul searing agony of hellfire.
