Kamenrider v11
After being kidnapped by the cult Gorgom
in the night of their 19th birthday, step-brothers Kotaro Minami
and Nobuhiko Akizuki were submitted to a cyborg surgery with the
purpose of becoming the candidates for the next Gorgom's Century
King. Kotaro escaped before the brainwashing, with help from his
foster father, and turned against Gorgom. He soon finds out the
horrific truth from his step-father: Gorgom originally killed his
true parents and, since both Kotaro and Nobuhiko were born on the
day of a solar eclipse, referred as "Black Sun" and "Shadow
Moon". Kotaro, taking on the name of Kamen Rider BLACK, was
determined to rescue his step-brother from Gorgom while protecting
Japan. However, later in the series, Nobuhiko emerged as Shadow
Moon to fight Kotaro with the survivor becoming the next Century
King.

Kamenrider Black RX
Having a new life 5 years after the destruction
of Gorgom at the hands of Kamen Rider BLACK . Kotaro Minami has
gotten a job of a helicopter pilot in a business owned by the Sahara
family. Later that night, Kotaro was captured by the Crisis Empire
and asked to join them. When Kotaro refused, his Kingstone was destroyed
and he was thrown into space where the sun's radiation altered his
Kingstone and he evolved into Kamen Rider BLACK RX. With his new
powers, he battles the Crisis Empire and thwarts their plans to
take over Earth. During the half of the series, Shadow Moon mysteriously
returns to seek revenge against him, shortly after, Shadow Moon
was finally defeated when he thrust his light saber through Shadow
Moon's Kingstone and turned good shortly before he died and finally
turn back to Nobuhiko. In the finale, he was helped by the 10 veteran
Kamen Riders to destroy Crisis Empire once and for all.
RX's other forms:
Kamen Rider BLACK RX was the first Kamen Rider to have multiple
forms: Robo Rider and Bio Rider. The concept of "multiple form
changing" Riders would be repeated with Kamen Rider Kuuga (2000),
who has many different armor types, Kamen Rider Agito (2001), Kamen
Rider Kabuto (2006), Kamen Rider Den-O (2007), and Kamen Rider Kiva
(2008). Kamen Rider Blade's Jack Form, Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai,
and Kamen Rider Faiz Accel Form are seen as initial upgrades rather
than form changing. Form changing is best describe as alternating
back and forth between forms to adjust to different situations.
Robo Rider:
He gained this form in Episode 15. RX 's armor becomes bulky and
more robotic-like, with black and yellow coloring and his belt resembles
a gearbox. During his duration as the "Prince of Sadness",
both his strength and defense are enhanced. He is also unharmed
by explosions or projectile weapons. The only downsides are that
he moves slower than BLACK RX as well as possessing semi-robotic
movement, slowing his reaction time. His weapon is the Vortech Shooter,
an energy firing pistol.
Bio Rider:
He gained this form in Episode 17. BLACK RX's armor becomes much
sleeker, blue and silver all over and his belt resembles a single
Kingstone belt. During his duration as the "Prince of Anger",
his speed is enhanced. He can also transform into water for escaping
traps or attacking enemies while not getting hurt in the process.
His weapon is the unbreakable sword, Bio Blade.
