Frank Castle - Cosmic Ghost Rider

Frank Castle - Cosmic Ghost Rider

Frank Castle is normally known as the criminal-killing Punisher. However, he is not merely that in every world. This Frank Castle is a former Herald of Galactus, less-former Herald of Thanos, and current Guardian of the Galaxy, whose exposure to the Power Cosmic has given him incredible capabilities. Its effect on his mind, however, is somewhat more detrimental. Note: All characters mentioned within are alternate-universe versions of their Marvel-616 counterparts.
