10 Marvel Characters Who Became Ghost Rider

10. Kenshiro Cochrane

Back in the mid-1990s, Marvel launched an imprint called 2099, which imagined their most popular characters on the cusp of the 22nd century. Ghost Rider was one of the characters chosen and he appeared in 25 issues of Ghost Rider 2099 from 1994 to 1996.

Kenshiro Cochrane was a hacker who was killed but found resurrection thanks to the Ghost Rider, though the character was somewhat different than his previous 20th-century depictions.

Instead of blasting his head into flame and mounting a motorcycle, Kenshiro Cochrane instead controlled a powerful robot with his mind. He was able to do this thanks to jacking his mind into cyberspace prior to death and then downloading it into the bot after teaming up with some AI named the Ghostworks.

The robot was the avatar of the Ghostworks, but it looked much like the superhero from the previous century. This led to Cochrane taking on the name of "Ghost Rider" as he sought vengeance for his own death. It's significantly different from the standard Earth-616 version of Ghost Rider but different enough to be interesting in its own right.
