SHIELD can even cast a developmentally disabled actor to portray Gabe. It also gives the show another way to show inclusion and representation with Robbie's brother. First, it allows the series, which already champions diversity and equality with its butt-kicking leads Chloe Bennet, Ming-Na Wen and Henry Simmons, to add even more diversity to the mix with the Mexican-American character. Why did Agents of SHIELD pick Robbie over Johnny? There are many obvious reasons. Read More: 'Agents of SHIELD' Season 4: What Is a Life Model Decoy? After Robbie finds out the truth about Eli, the only way he can keep Eli's bloodlust at bay and maintain control over his own body is by agreeing to kill, but only evil people who deserve it. Eli is also to blame for Gabe's developmental issues, since he pushed Robbie's mother down the stairs when she was pregnant with Gabe. But - comic book spoiler alert - it is later revealed that Eli is actually Robbie's uncle, a serial killer who was killed by the police. Together, they take out the evil gang members to both make East LA safe and avenge Eli's death, since he says he was killed by gang members. He was bound with a spirit named Eli Morrow. Unlike other Ghost Riders who made deals with demons, Robbie was cursed with his Ghost Rider powers after he was gunned down by gang members and was brought back to life as a demonic being. He works at a garage, lives with and takes care of his developmentally disabled brother Gabe and wants to get him and his brother away from the gangs that run his city. Instead of his head changing into a flaming skull when Ghost Rider takes over his body, he wears a flaming helmet. The Mexican-American high schooler doesn't even ride a motorcycle - he prefers to drive his muscle car (think a Dodge Charger) around his hometown of East LA. So who is Robbie Reyes, the newest incarnation of Ghost Rider? Introduced to the Marvel Comics universe as recently as 2014 by Felipe Smith, Roberto "Robbie" Reyes is very different from his predecessors who took up the mantle before him.
