#Cosmic ghost rider series
He also notes later in the series that the longer he's in Hellfire mode, the odder he gets. Indeed, Frank refuses having the powers back when he decides to leave Valhalla. Per Cosmic Ghost Rider #1, some of it is also down to the fact mortal minds - even those as skewed as Frank's - aren't meant to handle those powers. While Frank is not very sane in most universes, this one is completely off his freaking gourd as a result of first wandering the barren Earth as Ghost Rider for several centuries with no one to punish, acting as a Herald of Galactus for who knows how long, then spending millions of years with Thanos, who enjoyed his Penance Stare. Ax-Crazy: Both more and less so than usual - more, in that he's more obviously nuts, but less in that he's actually come to terms with who he is a lot better than present-day Frank and doesn't always want to just resort to killing.However, after this, he admits to his younger self that he believes that they deserve punishment.

So he gets Odin to send him back in time, so that he could fix his mistakes and find a measure of redemption (Death says that it's hopeless for him, but Frank just tells her off).

The Atoner: Frank's made A LOT of mistakes from the time he made a deal with Mephisto onwards.
