What Happened To Everyone Who Became Ghost Rider?

2. Robbie Reyes

Cosmic Ghost Rider Frank Castle

With the mid-2010s came Marvel's All-New All-Different initiative. And alongside characters like Riri Williams and Kamala Khan came Robbie Reyes, the newest incarnation of the classic Ghost Rider.

While Robbie is still around, the story that his solo series ended with doesn't leave him with much hope. Instead of an ethereal hell spirit as his spirit of vengeance, Robbie instead got the evil spirit of his insane sadist uncle, Eli Morrow, who constantly tried to tempt him into using his powers for murder.

Robbie, being a good kid who also REALLY wanted to stick it to his uncle, resisted such temptation. But unfortunately, at the end of his solo series, he was forced to finally murder a criminal who would otherwise have killed his little brother. Now forever bound to the Ghost Rider's mission of murdering the guilty, Robbie gave his uncle one condition: he had to find Robbie the most despicable, most unforgivable monsters humanity had to offer. People LIKE Eli Morrow. Only then, no sooner, would he take life.

While his solo series ended after a very short run, we've seen Robbie since then kicking around, doing exactly what he set out to do at the end of the book. Hopefully we'll get to see him on that mission in a future solo book.
