However, the character in the comics is simply a regular human who wears a white costume and rides a white painted horse, both covered with phosphorous for a glowing effect.

The Caretaker/ Carter Slade Ghost Rider character is a tribute to the original Marvel Comics Ghost Rider (now called The Phantom Rider to avoid confusion).

An interesting side note is that Climax Studios also developed Ghost Rider (2007) (VG). He'll resurrect them and offer them immortality in exchange for them offering their crazy motocross skills to do the Dark Lord's work. The plot of the game is somewhat similar to the plot of Ghost Rider: A group of hard-riding extreme bikers are killed while performing an insane stunt, only to be offered a deal by the Devil himself.
