Given how fast Mjolnir is, you would think Mjolnir would hit Ghost Rider with ease; But, that's not the case. Ghost Rider was able to outrun Mjolnir, on his bike, until it ran out of energy, then he just followed it back to Thor.

In Marvel Comics lore, Ghost Rider has been shown to be faster than Mjolnir in specific, iconic encounters. The most famous instance occurs in Avengers #214 (1981), where Thor throws Mjolnir at Johnny Blaze with full force. Ghost Rider, riding his enchanted Hell Cycle, is able to outrun the hammer and even outmaneuver it until it loses its momentum and returns to Thor. Because Mjolnir is capable of traveling across a galaxy in minutes (exceeding the speed of light), this feat suggests that the Hell Cycle is capable of Faster-Than-Light (FTL) speeds when fueled by the Spirit of Vengeance. While Mjolnir's speed is often tied to Thor's will and magical "flight," Ghost Rider's bike is an extension of a literal demon-god's power, allowing it to ignore the laws of physics entirely. In 2026, "Battle Boarding" fans still cite this as proof that the Rider's travel speed is among the highest in the Marvel Universe, outstripping even the God of Thunder's legendary projectile.
