8. Vengeance
I love the visual design thought that went into Vengeance:
Hmmm, we need to make an evil Ghost Rider, but Ghost Rider already looks kind of like a bad guy, so how do we communicate that this guy is actually evil?
Well, we could put spikes on his skull? And give him fangs? And spikes on his shoulder.
But Ghost Rider already has spikes on his shoulder.
Then give this new guy bigger spikes! AND GIVE HIS BIKE TEETH!!!!!
Michael Badilino was a cop – a detective, in fact – who was on the trail of the Ghost Rider. In that journey, Mephisto saw a pawn to be used and he tricked Ghost Rider (the original one) into attacking Michael's dad with hellfire. This drove the old man to murder his whole family and then himself, and that made Michael hate the Ghost Rider.
Then Mephisto appeared and offered Michael a chance to become a new Ghost Rider to get his"¦vengeance. Buuuuut he eventually made a face turn and sacrificed himself to help Ghost Rider.
Also, he had protruding ribs, which seems like a bad idea.

7. Daken
Wolverines! Dark Wolverines, in specific.
Daken was the long-lost son of Logan, and he tracked Logan down to murder him. Daken had two claws that emerged from between his knuckles and one that came from his wrist, which was very weird-looking. I don't get why someone never tried just yanking on it until it popped off. There wasn’t much skeletal support there.
Daken served as the Dark Avengers’ first Wolverine (Gorgon was the second), and he wore that sweet brown and yellow costume that ruled and should come back. He also had a huge Ed Hardy arm tattoo, which was very silly. Eventually, Wolverine found him and killed him, but the Apocalypse brought him back as one of the Horsemen of Death during Rick Remender's first Uncanny Avengers run.
He was very silly, but he stuck around.
