Eros shows all the guests a recording of Thanos stating that he uploaded his consciousness in a new body before his death. In the aftermath of the " Infinity Wars" storyline, Cosmic Ghost Rider is revealed to be stranded on Earth-616 and was present at Thanos' funeral. Frank, horrified of what Thanos turned into, kills him and goes back in time to leave baby Thanos where he got him, accepting the monster Thanos will become. The Rider was happy at first until he found out that Thanos was dictator of the planets he invaded. Thanos from the future brings Rider and his infant self to his world where he stopped all of the wars in the universe and saved Frank's family. They were subsequently greeted by Thanos' future self, who sported the same clothes Cosmic Ghost Rider used as the Punisher. Unfortunately, Frank and later baby Thanos killed them all. The Guardians of the Galaxy of that timeline tried to change their future by killing Thanos. By doing that, Cosmic Ghost Rider created a new timeline where Thanos grew up to become something worse. With Uatu the Watcher bearing witness, an angry Cosmic Ghost Rider vowed to raise Thanos on his own consequently. Tracking down Galactus to the planet Markus-Centauri which he plans to devour, the Cosmic Ghost Rider tried to get Galactus to help him to no avail after Galactus scanned his memories. Cosmic Ghost Rider then takes Baby Thanos under his wing in order to change his future so that he won't be evil.

Being revived in that year, Cosmic Ghost Rider confronted the baby Thanos where his Penance Stare has not detected any sins yet. Cosmic Ghost Rider chose the day Thanos was born. Odin returned his powers and offered to revive him in any time period of his choosing. Odin from the main reality retrieved Cosmic Ghost Rider's soul from the dead reality and rewarded him with Valhalla, though Cosmic Ghost Rider was unsatisfied. The Cosmic Ghost Rider was smashed by the Fallen One using the Asgardian hammer Mjolnir. Thanos then gives him a shard of the Time Stone so he could use it to travel to the past in order to drag a younger Thanos to the future so he could help in the killing of the Fallen One. Thanos offered the undying Rider the chance to see more evil than he could punish in a thousand lifetimes, and thus became his servant. Their story lasted centuries, but it came to an end once they finally confronted Thanos, who beheaded Galactus as he approached to battle. Īlongside Galactus, Cosmic Ghost Rider traveled across the cosmos on a quest to halt Thanos' systematic annihilation of every living being in existence, which led them to become legends. Bestowed with the Power Cosmic, Ghost Rider became Cosmic Ghost Rider. When a badly injured Galactus arrived on Earth seeking help against Thanos, unaware that the population of Earth had already been killed by him, the Ghost Rider offered the dead planet to him in exchange for the chance of punishing Thanos as his herald which Galactus accepted. He eventually began to lose his mind when even Mephisto fell silent to his calls. Roaming endlessly and undying with no one to kill or love, the Ghost Rider spent the next countless years alone. When he returned to Earth, however, Thanos was already gone, and everything on the planet was dead. Willing to give anything in order to punish Thanos for slaughtering his planet, the Punisher signed a demonic deal with Mephisto and became the Ghost Rider. However, when Thanos came to Earth, the Punisher was one of the last casualties during the last stand of the heroes, and his soul was subsequently sent to Hell. In the alternate reality where Thanos conquered all the Universe, Frank Castle's early life was seemingly similar to that of the Frank Castle of the Earth-616 Universe.
