He then spent the rest of his own COSMIC GHOST RIDER limited series trying to raise the kid better than he had been, but that didn't exactly work out the way he wanted. Castle intended to kill baby Thanos, but found no sin in the child yet.

Noting this, Odin returned his CGR powers to him and sent him to the time and place of his choosing.

That wasn't the end for Cosmic Ghost Rider though! Odin gave him a place in Valhalla as a reward, but Frank bristled at the idea. Though he assumed he'd be evenly matched with his fellow former herald, Frank got smashed to pieces by Thor's hammer. More importantly, he fought alongside both the young and old Thanos when the Fallen One–a Mjonir-wielding Silver Surfer–and his Annihilation Horde appeared for a final battle. In these later days, with almost everyone dead, Castle ran errands through time for his master, used his Penance Stare on Thanos every morning (the Mad Titan's favorite way of reliving his greatest hits), and fed the dog, known to modern scholars as the Hulk! Though he still tried to defeat the killer, Cosmic Ghost Rider accepted Thanos' offer to work with him instead. Although the newest one to be introduced in the comics, Frank Castle's Cosmic Ghost Rider is without a doubt the most powerful, and it isn't even close. They fought together for untold time until Thanos blasted Galactus' head clean off his body! He has defeated Thanos, survived a cosmic blast from Galactus, and performed many other unbelievable feats. After hearing about Thanos' rampage through space, Castle offered Galactus his services as a herald, which the Devourer accepted. However, he gained the power after Thanos had already left!ĭriven mad by his loneliness, near-immortality, and lack of purpose, he found himself the only one around when a dying Galactus appeared on Earth. From there, the Ultimates handled threats on one level while Galactus worked with the Eternity Watch - Ego-Prime, Psi-Hawk, the ghost of the. Anti-Man sacrificed himself to return Galactus back to the Lifebringer. Just before dying himself, Castle called out for vengeance and got it from Mephisto by becoming the new Ghost Rider. One of the earlier conflicts included saving Galactus who had been made to hunger once more by a new cosmic force called Logos. Eons before, the man formerly known as the Punisher had survived until the older Thanos made his last attack on Earth, killing almost everyone in the process. Readers may have been shocked when CGR introduced himself as Frank Castle, but the name didn't ring a bell for Thanos the Younger. In this future, Thanos the Elder succeeded in his mission to wipe out nearly all life in existence for Death, but still needed to ice the Fallen One, hence bringing his younger self back to the future.
