Due to his exploits, and preferred color scheme of red and black, he was nicknamed 'Crimson Lightning'. Ridden scored most of his kills during the war with his customized MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type. The unicorn emblazoned on the Zaku's elbow was a tribute to Kycilia, and it symbolized his feelings for her, as the legend of the creature stated that it only opened its heart to a pure-minded woman. A unicorn (from Latin unus 'one' and cornu 'horn' is a Mythological creature. Shortly before being assigned to the Chimera Corps, Ridden is promoted to Lieutenant Commander and is given perhaps his most famous and trademark mobile suit, the MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type, of which he and only three other pilots have. The Chimera Corps is part of the fictional Universal Century timeline of the Gundam Anime metaseries
Even though he is assigned one of the first Gelgoogs, Ridden questions whether one new mobile suit is enough to change the fate of Zeon. He is one of the few aware that the Zeon forces are short on experienced pilots.
In October, Ridden was assigned to the elite Chimera Corps and upgraded to the MS-14S Gelgoog prototype. The Chimera Corps is part of the fictional Universal Century timeline of the Gundam Anime metaseries At the Battle of A Baoa Qu on December 31, 0079, Ridden was overwhelmed by the Earth Federation's onslaught.

The Anime series Mobile Suit Gundam, set in the fictional Universal Century is centered around the conflict known as the One Year War (or OYW for short Ridden was officially listed as missing in action following the battle, but was assumed dead and promoted posthumously. (In the last cutscene of the Ridden Ace mode in Encounters in Space, it shows a floating crimson Gelgoog head. ) It has been recorded that in his final battle, he shot down a staggering one hundred eighty-five enemies in all. It was said that Johnny Ridden was so feared at the battle of A Baoa Qu that a full rank permotion was offered to anyone who was able to shoot the ace down.

Trivia
Ridden's nickname was originally said to be the Red Blitz, from an RB that was found on the model kit of his customised Gelgoog by Bandai. is a Japanese Toy making company as well as the producer of a large number of Plastic model kits In recent games and material, he is clearly stated as being the Crimson Lightning. It is possible this change was because Red Blitz was too close to Red Comet, the nickname of Char Aznable. Crimson, on the other hand, is often mistaken for red and could be seen as a metaphor for Ridden's own misfortune in being misidentified as Aznable.
Ridden's Gelgoog is known to not carry a shield so that its maneverability is slightly better then the of normal Gelgoog.
Despite his success as a pilot, Ridden is often overshadowed by the more famous Aznable, and sometimes it is jokingly said that his Zaku is more famous than he is. In fact, in the Playstation 2 version of the strategy game Gihren's Greed, he has the following conversation with fellow ace Shin Matsunaga. Gihren no Yabou ( Gihren's Ambition) commonly known as Gihren's Greed, is a Turn-based strategy game based on Mobile Suit Gundam, developed and published A fictional character from the Universal Century timeline of the Anime Gundam metaseries.
Ridden: "Hey, I've heard of you. The White Wolf, right? Nice to meet you. "
Matsunaga: "Oh, this is a pleasure. I didn't expect to meet with the famous Red Comet. "
Ridden: "! I'm not the Red Comet; I'm the Crimson Lightning!"
Matsunaga: "Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Then, I'm counting on your support, Crimson Lightning Char Aznable. "
Ridden: ". . . Forget it. . . "
Matsunaga: "Hm? What's wrong, Char?"
Furthermore, Char Aznable himself has heard of him, but is confused as to his nickname, referring to him as the Crimson Nightmare or the Red Nova. Needless to say, Ridden is less than amused.
