Gabriel Luna Explains Ghost Rider's Rules For Killing

While the power that Robbie Reyes wields is that of vengeance, that doesn't mean he kills anything and everyone, as fans learned during the premiere of ABC's Agents of SHIELD.

Sure, he doesn't exactly go the non-lethal approach, but he does have a goal in mind, and it doesn't include killing just anyone. In an interview with EW, actor Gabriel Luna shed some light on the Ghost Rider's code of ethics.

"The Ghost Rider has one thing on his mind: Seek out and eliminate the sinner," Luna says. "The Rider has his own designs. It's like your shadow — you can't shake it. Once you give into him, he takes over completely."

That is why during their altercation in the premiere, Ghost Rider did not take out Daisy (Chloe Bennet). While she poses a threat to his goals, she isn't someone the Rider deems dangerous.

"He saw a penitent women," Luna says. "He looked into her eyes and saw a woman who is obviously trying to atone for something, but it's definitely nothing that she did. The Rider has the ability to see through and into the bones of someone — into their heart and their soul. He sees a woman trying to be good."

That will lead Daisy to question her initial assumptions about Reyes, and aside from the whole flaming skull thing, they actually have a great deal in common.

"Given the opportunity, I didn't kill her," Luna continues. "So she's intrigued by this creature that she witnessed. Beyond that, we're all heading in the same direction. We all funnel into this one road. While you can't call us a team, we're certainly aligned, but it's mainly because we're all seeking the same thing."

Agents of SHIELD airs Tuesday's on ABC.
