The Scourge of the Underworld.The Punisher is a Judge, Jury, and Executioner, a Marvel Comics vigilante whose only passion is finding and executing criminals. The Punisher first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #129 (February, 1974), created by writer Gerry Conway, along with artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru.For a while, the Punisher appeared mostly in titles starring Spider-Man (see The Clone Saga). He received his first origin story in Marvel Preview #2 (April, 1975), again written by Conway. He received another solo story in Marvel Super Action #1 (January, 1976), a one-shot publication. After that Punisher returned to making appearances in titles featuring Spider-Man, Captain America, and Daredevil. In the 1980s, Steven Grant and Mike Zeck campaigned for a Punisher mini-series. But Marvel editors were reportedly reluctant. The series eventually did materialize: Punisher vol. 1 (January-May, 1986). It sold well and consequently Punisher gained his first ongoing series in 1987. The Punisher has since starred in various magazines over the years, even gaining four multi-part events that ran through various titles in the nineties, said events being Suicide Run, Countdown, and Over the Edge.Frank Castle is a veteran (originally The Vietnam War, though History of the Marvel Universe retconned this to Siancong in 2019) who saw his wife, son and daughter slaughtered in a Mafia hit gone wrong. So he got himself a black shirt with a scary white skull on the front and a whole lot of guns, and started a one-man war on crime.The big difference between him and, say, Batman? Castle kills the criminals that he fights. A lot. Often several dozen at a time.note His confirmed "high scores" to date are approximately 2,000 in the Marvel Universe with a nuke, and 68 in one night, with 32 in a single location in the MAX continuity. Wizard magazine also had his death count as slightly above 1,000, pre-Ennis and later in MAX, this is mentioned to have climbed to 2K. Combine all that together, and the total death toll comes around to an astounding four thousand bad guys. He uses machine guns, explosives, a certain amount of martial arts, knives, and on occasion, wildlife (most notably, the time that he punched a polar bear in the face to get it riled enough to eat some Mafia hitmen). He can be very, very sadistic. He tends not to get along with Marvel's actual superheroes, especially when he's written by comic-book scribe Garth Ennis; many fans think Castle and Ennis were a match made in heaven.The tone of the stories vary from violent pitch-black comedy to intensively grim-and-gritty noir tales to attempts to make him a full-on Super Hero... who just so happens to kill people. His enemies have ranged from sex slavery rings to gigantic Russian hitmen augmented with cyborg body parts and enormous breasts... both of them written by Ennis.Over the years, there have been attempts to reinvent the character in a different style. At one point he was killed and revived as a supernatural hero empowered by angels. Another storyline made him 'Franken-castle', a reanimated corpse surrounded by monsters. A third gave him a version of the Iron Man 'War Machine' armour. Each time, he’s been returned to the status quo. The Punisher (2022) series by Jason Aaron also touches on this sort of change, and sees Castle becoming an assassin with the supernatural ninja clan the Hand, replacing his iconic skull symbol with a horned demonic version.The character himself often suffers from inconsistent writing. Many writers have portrayed him as a good man at heart who sincerely does want to help people and keep them from suffering the same way he did, while other writers have portrayed him as a psychopath with no pity for anyone and no motivation beyond killing criminals. One thing is certain: He is always a Terror Hero, with criminals often being terrified if they're in his crosshairs.There are two notably different Punisher series: the main Marvel Universe series and a second series created for Marvel's adults-only MAX imprint, originally titled The Punisher and referred to as Punisher MAX, before changing to The Punisher: Frank Castle and then The Punisher MAX. This latter version, written almost exclusively by Garth Ennis for four years, features no superheroes and is deeply rooted in more "mundane" crime and events — The Mafia, Irish terrorist organizations, Eastern European sex slavers, Gangbangers and The War on Terror are prominent. It is also considerably less funny than the mainstream Marvel series, though there are touches of Black Comedy and satire here and there. The MAX series is written much more consistently than the mainstream version, due to being almost entirely shaped by Garth Ennis' vision of the character; this series is also notorious for its moral absolutism. The Marvel Universe version may be willing to excuse himself for killing a friend's girlfriend while under the influence of a "hate ray", but the first post-Ennis MAX issue sees Frank on the edge of killing himself after believing that his instinctive shooting had led to an innocent girl's death, declaring to himself that "I must be punished."note Realizing the possibility of a setup is the only thing that lets him live long enough to exhume the body, which he finds was slain with a bullet of a different caliber from what he had been carrying. Turned out that it was a setup to get him out of the way of a local crime syndicate.An Alternate Universe version is a major character in the Spider-Gwen books, where he's portrayed as being somewhat less stable than the mainstream version.Three films have been based around the character have been produced to date —- one by New World Pictures, with Dolph Lundgren in the role, and two others by Lionsgate: The Punishernote Artisan Entertainment developed this film, but they sold the rights to LionsGate just before production started. and Punisher: War Zone. All three films are standalone and aren't linked by any continuity.When his film rights reverted back to Marvel in the early 2010s, many wondered if the Punisher would ever officially join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Outside of a reference in All Hail the King, there weren't any immediate plans to reintroduce the character. In June 2015, it was announced that the Punisher would make his MCU debut during the second season of Daredevil, played by Jon Bernthal. After months of speculation following the release of Daredevil, it was later confirmed that he would later spin-off into his own series. It lasted for two seasons, and was cancelled along with all Netflix series of Marvel characters as a result of conflicts between the studios. However, that would not be the end of the Punisher's time in the MCU, as he's slated to return in the series Daredevil: Born Again, with Bernthal reprising his role.Please note that this page covers plot tropes in The Punisher comics only.

comment
Dirty Coward: About 95% of the criminals behave like this when on the wrong end of a gunpoint, begging Frank for their lives and promising him anything and everything (this never helps). The remaining 5% are mostly Psychos For Hire or otherwise too raving mad to feel fear — only very rarely do you see a sane villain who just has enough guts for something like a "Facing the Bullets" One-Liner.

Rasputinian Death: Many Dragons or more physically tough Big Bads require a rather spectacular sendoff. This includes Roc (a broken neck and a barge filled with explosives) and The Russian (a nuke). Frank himself gets one in Dark Reign, when Daken quite literally tears him apart piece by piece. Then Morbius the Living Vampire brings him back as a patchwork monster (Franken-Castle).

Hero Antagonist: Any superhero that shows up in his comics is likely to become this. Especially Daredevil, who is the superhero most determined to put a stop to the Punisher, to the point where they might as well be members of their respective rogues galleries.

Simple Solution Won't Work
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_16dda55f
comment
Simple Solution Won't Work: The usual result of Frank's method of fighting crime clashes hard with Status Quo Is God, so the usual stated reason he doesn't go after The Kingpin is that doing so would cause an Evil Power Vacuum with civilians caught in a mob war. Towards the end of The Punisher MAX's run, he does go to kill Fisk and succeeds at the cost of his life, leading to civilians violently fighting back against organized crime once his death is announced. Frank's M.O. is repeatedly questioned by both criminals and heroes pointing out that he can't hope to keep crime down by killing criminals, and in fact has never done so. The truth is that Frank is perfectly aware of it, he's a Death Seeker whose only goal is to take out as many mobsters as he can before he's finally killed and reunited with his family. Similarly, several encounters with superheroes have Frank bluntly stating that until they decide enough is enough and kill him themselves, he's going to keep killing criminals even when sent to prison (in fact, he often gets himself arrested so he can get to a convicted criminal).

The Stoic: Frank is either calm, detached, and homicidal, or (much more rarely) pissed off and homicidal. That's it. To quote the 2005 videogame (written by Garth Ennis): This was especially prevalent in Garth Ennis 2000 and 2001 runs on the title, which made it extremely funny when something truly bizarre happened, and Punisher only made a slight facial change in surprise, such as the return of the Russian, who was now packing Double G breasts, or the mobster who's killed by a giant squid in the New York Harbor.

Mokele-Mbembe: In the 1988 The Punisher War Journal series, the Punisher takes a "vacation" as the security guard for a cryptozoological expedition that is venturing into the Congolese jungle in search of the Mokele-Mbembe. Unknown to him, two hired guns have infiltrated the operation to poach the dinosaurs for a billionaire oil tycoon. After a misunderstanding with Wolverine, he dispatches the poachers before they can hurt the dinosaurs, and the expedition members decide to keep quiet about the Mokele-Mbembe's existence to prevent more hunters from coming after them.

Alternate Company Equivalent: The Punisher is modeled very closely on the character of Mack Bolan, who also lost his family to mob violence and becomes a vigilante with the nickname "The Executioner". Mack Bolan was featured in a series of books that were first published in 1968, and new books in the series still come out today.

Eat the Rich: Copycat vigilante Mr Payback, who targeted corrupt businessmen and other rich people who prey on the poor. A good deal more sympathetic than his fellow copycats The Holy and The Elite. However, he killed at least four innocent people during his killing sprees, because, as Frank points out, he doesn't bother to actually PLAN anything, he just bursts in and goes nuts. As such, he's just as bad as the people he killed (not helped by him trying to justify himself that "losses has to be expected", something Elite and the Holy also try).

All Crimes Are Equal
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_211eedd
comment
All Crimes Are Equal: During his days as a semi-antagonist in the pages of Spider-Man and Daredevil, Punisher briefly became one of these, going after people for crimes like jaywalking and littering, having gone off the deep end and decided that all small crimes eventually cascade into big ones. This was eventually retconned when he was given his own series and it was revealed that he'd been involuntarily drugged during this period and eventually detoxed in prison. These days he doesn't care much about crimes beyond drug dealing and murder, though he's obviously not happy with smaller crimes either.

Muggles Do It Better: He has fought many super powered heroes and villains, sometimes beating them or at least fighting to a draw, with nothing more than his wits, aim, and guns. Averted of course at times... Depending on the Writer. In Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe Frank kills the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants with a tactical nuke he stole from Doctor Doom. (Of course he killed Doctor Doom before that.)

Semper Fi: Frank's a Marine, and often gets help from other Vietnam vets.

Also because he owes Frank his life from Vietnam, and lets him go when he discovers the generals who want Frank dead have less-than noble motives.

Genre Blindness: The numerous gangsters, mobsters, and other crooks who think that they will be the one to finally bring Frank down. Frank has fallen victim to this as well. He kills criminals, he goes after the big fish, so what's the best way to find the Punisher? Get a bunch of criminal bosses all in one place and wait for Frank to show up. Nick Fury even did this once because he needed to contact Frank in a hurry. Frank is aware of this tendency and has kicked himself more than once for getting sucked in this way.

Failure Is the Only Option
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_260926c3
comment
Failure Is the Only Option: The mainstream incarnation of The Punisher has only once succeeded at dispensing his own brand of justice to significant supervillains he encounters, even those who badly screw with him personally, like Bullseye. Probably that's why he mostly goes for mundane mobsters, who don't have Joker Immunity (or superpowers). The one exception is Stilt Man, which he got with a bazooka to the groin. The saddest aspect of all is, getting offed by the Punisher was probably was the high point of Stilt Man's career. No matter what continuity Frank appears in, he will always lose his family to set up his reason for becoming The Punisher. Frank is well aware that he has zero chance of ever actually winning his war on crime, or even making a serious dent in the criminal population. MAX Microchip calculates that Frank has killed about 800 people in the 30 years he's been active (in that continuity, mainstream canon is all over the place). Anyone with even a passing understanding of population statistics can tell you that is less than a fraction of a fraction of 1% of the U.S professional criminal population, much less the rest of the world.

Kill Sat: The oneshot comic G-Force features a drug-dealing astronaut who uses the laser-firing satellite that his company built for the French government to fry his rivals. Punisher follows the guy into space, and uses the thing to destroy his own operations after killing him.

Small Name, Big Ego: While Frank usually focuses on street-level criminals rather than the world-threatening supervillains, he tends to look down on the superheroes, believing they don't have the guts to "do what it takes" like he does, which makes them inferior to him.

Lampshade Hanging: The aforementioned split in The Punisher's portrayal as regards to his interactions with the rest of the Marvel characters is lampshaded in Secret War: Secret Files (written in the voice of Nick Fury as entries in the S.H.I.E.L.D. database); it comments on how it seems like Castle lives in "two different worlds," one where he interacts with the other heroes and one where he never crosses paths with them.

Plot Armor
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_2a44899
comment
Plot Armor: Frank once resisted Ghost Rider’s Penance Stare, under the reasoning that Frank doesn’t feel guilty about his innumerable murder cases, it was against unrepentant criminals and the like so for Frank it was justice at work, not a collection of sins; that contradicts many instances where the Penance Stare is said to work on absolutely any living being who has ever sinned, taking a life regardless of the motivations behind it, i.e: Galactus can be affected by the Penance Stare even if he is a natural force of the universe who doesn’t consider his planet-sized killings as something evil. While Frank has had frequent clashes with "street level" heroes like Spider-Man and Daredevil, none of the bigger hero teams (such as the Fantastic Four and The Avengers, who could bring him in quite easily) seem to consider him worthy of their time. This is finally deconstructed during Greg Rucka's run; Spider-Man, disgusted by Frank's latest act, goes to his Avenger teammates, asking that they all work together to bring the Punisher in. He is initially ignored, until Captain America points out that allowing the Punisher to roam free means they're essentially condoning what he does, and that cannot stand. The Avengers send the next few issues hunting Frank down, and ultimately succeeding in sending him to prison. It doesn't last, though...

He even states in one comic devoted to showing his equipment and methods that he orders the shirts by the gross (gross = 144).

Token Good Cop: Several versions of Frank Castle (such as in a What If? and on Earth-1610) have him be the only honest cop in his precinct, whose partner and superiors set him and his family up to die in an effort to stop his efforts, leading to his Start of Darkness as The Punisher. Nearly every NYPD cop to appear in more than one issue of The Punisher MAX is corrupt, a weasely bureaucrat, or compromises their integrity by abetting Castle. Paul Budiansky, on the other hand, is only a Cowboy Cop during moments of absolute desperation and realizes that he and Frank are Not So Similar and not natural allies after the one time they come face to face.

He Who Fights Monsters

comment
He Who Fights Monsters: The Punisher is often presented this way whenever he makes a guest appearance in more idealistic books like Spider-Man or Daredevil. However, in his own books, he's portrayed as a profoundly messed up individual, more tortured machine than man. The MAX imprint is much darker and basically shows Frank operating as an uncompromising engine of vengeance in a Crapsack World. He's fully aware that his war on crime has damned him to Hell and there's no hope of redemption. He just doesn't care.

Expansion Pack Past

comment
Also goes for Frank's last name (sometimes his birth name is Castiglione, other times it isn't; the whole thing was a clumsy attempt to add mobbed-up relatives as part of an Expansion Pack Past) and his Vietnam service (usually shown as an officer, many stories feature him instead as an enlisted rifleman). Several attempts at an Author's Saving Throw have him illegally re-entering the Marine Corps under his assumed name, which only raises further questions. Castiglione was established as his birth name in the first comic that his name was mentioned in at all. It was said that his parents changed it from Castiglione to Castle when he was six years old. It's not uncommon for immigrants to Americanize their surnames, so maybe it was just to give some extra backstory originally.

Several encounters with Thou Shalt Not Kill superheroes end with him on the receiving end of a Curbstomp Battle, but he says that until they start killing criminals (starting with him), he's going to keep killing criminals (even in prison). One story has Frank lure Daredevil into a trap and force him into a Sadistic Choice: Daredevil is tied up with a gun pointed at Frank's head while Frank is preparing to snipe a mob boss, so either Frank kills the boss or Daredevil kills Frank. Daredevil eventually takes the shot... but the gun was empty.

Crisis Crossover

comment
Crisis Crossover: He tends to be left out of these big events, partly because they don't fit his "realistic" tone, and partly because, as mentioned above, most of the spandex set really don't like him, and would rather see him in jail. Three notable exceptions: In the Civil War, Captain America recruits him for the anti-registration side. Most of Cap's allies hate this — especially when Cap tries to recruit some low-level villains, who the Punisher promptly shoots dead in front of everyone. Frank appears very briefly in JLA/Avengers. Batman sees him in action, and swiftly kicks the tar out of him. In Secret Wars (2015), Frank takes advantage of the impending end of the world as we know it to kill Kingpin, Green Goblin, Sandman, Lizard, Absorbing Man and Bullseye, who are celebrating the apocalypse at a super-villain party.

Broken Aesop: In one issue, Frank meets a group of fanboy cops who actually did put his skull on their car. Frank rips it up, and tells them that nobody should be like him and if they want a role model, Captain America is always around. Of course, Captain America has technically been an outlaw vigilante as well, just not as violent. So the idea of police viewing Cap as a role model in-universe doesn't quite make sense. Also, Cap was willing to kill back in his soldier days, but sees his post-war activities as law enforcement and so follows a no-kill code.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Despite being a fugitive for 30+ years and having his mugshot on the news semi-regularly, the only time he is ever recognized is when he opens his coat and reveals the skull on his chest. Either people recognize him but pretend they don't or they don't watch a lot of news. Played straight with the police, as it's made very clear the most if not all street cops totally approve of Frank's war on crime and don't put any effort into trying to apprehend him. Even the upper ranks of the NYPD only really focus on the Punisher when they are under intense political pressure. In addition, it's openly hinted many times (particularly in the MAX series) that Nick Fury personally ensures that Frank is not bothered by S.H.I.E.L.D.

From Camouflage to Criminal
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_46f3f271
comment
From Camouflage to Criminal: Frank went from being a marine in his back story to a Vigilante Man who serves as Judge, Jury, and Executioner on other criminals. He's also encountered a number of criminals who were in the military before turning to organized crime (some of which even started dealing drugs while still in the armed forces).

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Frank is homicidal towards criminals and is very cold to innocents he comes across, but he does genuinely show concern for innocents. He does have a softer side that comes out on very rare occasions, too — he was notably a perfect gentleman towards Miss Grundy in Archie Meets the Punisher. Also gets a beautiful one in the MAX story "Mother Russia" , which involves Frank rescuing a little girl from some Russian soldiers. He is very protective of the girl, even admonishing another character for cursing in front of her. Also in "Mother Russia", the Batman Cold Open features Frank rescuing an elderly Russian WW2 veteran from some gangsters, with Frank explaining that he "has a thing about respecting his elders."

Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Kevin the bartender, who despises Martin Soap. As mentioned above under Jerkass, he always gives Soap a hard time whenever the two interact at Lucky's Bar. Kevin shows himself to be firmly this when Soap attempts to commit suicide in the bathroom, and Kevin stops him... because he just doesn't want to clean up the mess and tells Soap to go and do it at home instead. In response, Soap snaps, grows a spine, and puts Kevin back in his place while telling him off for how he always made him feel a thousand times worse before leaving Kevin crying in the restroom.

Butt-Monkey: Detective Soap, the biggest joke of the NYPD, is the prime example. For that matter, if you're a police officer and The Punisher's case is assigned to you, it's a sure sign that you're in danger of becoming this. Charlie Schitti would be another great example of Butt-Monkey, if not for the fact that just still being alive and not crippled or disfigured at the end is remarkably lucky for a (former) mobster. Of course.

The Resenter: In the Blood & Glory crossover miniseries with Captain America, Punisher resents Cap for being hailed as a hero of World War II, whereas he and other Vietnam veterans were branded as murderers of innocents for just being part of an unpopular conflict. Which makes it all the easier for the bad guys to dupe Punisher to believe that Cap is corrupted and part of the illegal weapons deals that had been happening recently, and try to assassinate him.

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: These days it's generally accepted that Frank doesn't kill children or teenagers and if any writer contradicts that, they must hate him (this is commonly said about Frank's appearance in Runaways for example). However, back before he even got his first book and was being used by Frank Miller as a rival and foil to Daredevil, there was a story where he hunts down and murders a drug dealer stated to be between 13 and 15 years old note for context, that would make him younger than all but one of the Runaways when Frank has met them and then rants how it wasn't him who killed the boy but the Crime itself. Really early in his run, he once shot a guy for jaywalking. It is safe to say Frank has since switched to decaf.

Crazy-Prepared: Frank personifies this pretty much all the time, to the point where it's very rare for him to ever encounter a situation he is not mentally or physically prepared for. It has simply become a way of life for him, as habitual as getting dressed in the morning. One story even showed how, whenever he travels by air and therefore cannot carry any weapons, the first thing he does when he lands is go to the airport gift shop and buy a pocket knife of some sort. "It's not much, but it'll do until I can get my hands on a gun." This saved him once when he was overpowered, tied up, and tossed in the trunk of a car. His abductor just assumed he didn't have a weapon since he was coming from the airport, and didn't search him. He was very surprised when he opened the trunk and discovered quite suddenly that Frank had not only cut himself loose, but had the knife in his hand and was perfectly willing to use it.

Invincible Hero: Even if Frank has no powers per se (only being in peak physical condition and knowing all about fighting and using weapons), he manages to hold himself pretty well against actual Marvel superheroes - there isn't a one-shot called The Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe for nothing. This is taken up to eleven once the Punisher got the War Machine's armor in 2017, meaning a squad led by Captain Marvel went to take him down and Frank still managed to run away.

Empowered Badass Normal

comment
Empowered Badass Normal: In a What If, Castle visits the Our Lady of Saints church a few minutes before Eddie Brock does and winds up becoming Venom. Not knowing what the symbiote is (he thought it might be some sort of S.H.I.E.L.D. experimental weapon) he uses the suit to it's full extent, until it starts going out at night when he's asleep to kill people, and at one point even hits Microchip. When the symbiote is cornered by Spider-Man, Moon Knight and Daredevil, Frank regains consciousness and realizes what has happened. He undergoes a Battle in the Center of the Mind and regains control of his body, and tells the symbiote that he will literally blow his brains out rather than let it control him, and basically forces it to obey him. There was a brief period of time in the late nineties when Castle was given a supernatural bent for two miniseries (Purgatory and Revelation). He became a divine assassin on behalf of God, using angelic firearms to smite demons in return for a chance to be reunited with his family in heaven. Predictably, this didn't turn out to be a popular development. When Ennis began his run in Welcome Back Frank, he pays lip service to it by acknowledging it before declaring: "Tried it. Didn't like it. Told them where to stick it.." Later, Morbius the Living Vampire resurrected Frank as a Frankenstein's Monster version of himself after a fight with Daken left Frank shredded into pieces. Frank was eventually returned to normal by the healing power of the Bloodstone, and abandoned the stone when his monster allies helped him realize that its continued influence could lead to him turning on the innocent. In 2018, Nick Fury Jr. needs Frank to do some international wetworks for him. In return, he gives Frank the location of the warehouse storing the War Machine armour. So for at least a number of issues, Frank is the new War Machine. It backfires when Frank decides to steal the Armor for his crusade and goes on a rampage. Also in 2018, Frank becomes Ghost Rider, a Herald of Galactus and a minion of Thanos. Unlike some of the other examples of him getting powers, Cosmic Ghost Rider is a Breakout Character who got his own series.

False Reassurance: If you're a criminal and The Punisher promises you something like "scratching your name from his list"... you better talk anyway, even if you recognize what that means, as being shot right after giving him the necessary information is still preferable to his other methods of loosening tongues. Frank might feel generous if you're a random thief or dealer, but if you're a killer, you're basically already dead.

Clueless Deputy: Occasionally played straight but sometimes averted whenever Frank leaves New York. The deputies in The Punisher: Suicide Run are Red Shirts but don't seem particularly stupid. Gerry from Streets of Laredo during the Garth Ennis run isn't brave enough to join his boss in facing down a mob of three dozen gun runners, but does show a talent for the more investigative side of police work, following Frank and recognizing that he's the Punisher, and later tracking down the hit-and-run driver who kicked off the inflict by running down the local gang leader's son and tipping off Frank to take care of the man.

Vigilante Injustice: Subverted or played straight depending on whether he's the hero or the antagonist of the series. Several encounters with Thou Shalt Not Kill superheroes end with him on the receiving end of a Curbstomp Battle, but he says that until they start killing criminals (starting with him), he's going to keep killing criminals (even in prison). One story has Frank lure Daredevil into a trap and force him into a Sadistic Choice: Daredevil is tied up with a gun pointed at Frank's head while Frank is preparing to snipe a mob boss, so either Frank kills the boss or Daredevil kills Frank. Daredevil eventually takes the shot... but the gun was empty. Another story has Daredevil protecting a mob boss from Frank (and preventing the mobster from being rescued) during the man's transfer to Texas (as the mobster's attorney, Matt Murdock wants a fair trial and believes there's no way to get an unbiased jury in New York). Frank (who doesn't know Daredevil's secret identity) sneers at this and calls Murdock a hypocrite to Daredevil's face, claiming the real reason is that Texas still has the death penalty, so Murdock is actually trying to get the mobster killed without getting his hands dirty. It's pointed out many, many times by heroes and criminals alike that Frank's war on crime is no longer justified, that his family's killers are long dead, that no matter how many criminals he's killed there'll always be more, that he hasn't made any change to crime rates, etc. In The Punisher MAX series, turns out Frank is perfectly aware of this: his goal is simply to kill all the criminals he can before he finally dies (he's actually punishing himself for his failure to be with his family after returning from Vietnam). In one comic, Frank comes across a couple of police officers wearing pins of his skull insignia on their uniforms in a show of support for what he does. He takes them to task for this, saying they need to be emulating Captain America, not him.

Team Mercy vs. Team Murder: A lot of the conflict that Frank encounters often happens because he is essentially "Team Murder" for the entire Marvel Universe. Even the other heroes that are okay with killing often have an issue with Frank's trigger-happiness.

comment
Badass Normal: Castle has no superpowers of his own, and typically most of his foes are either just mooks or other badass normals. However, he has gone toe-to-toe with various superheroes and villains in the past using skill and psychotic levels of determination. Exemplified with his fight against The Sentry where Frank wins against the Cosmic - Level villain through a combination of guile and military grade C-4. To be clear, Frank's victory was not actually defeating him in combat, but simply escaping from a being who is fast enough to travel across a continent in seconds. A near-impossible feat for any mortal, even those with superpowers. Nick Fury is well aware of Frank's capabilities, and despite him having no superpowers, he states that Frank's training, fighting skills, use of weaponry, and ability to carefully plan his attacks make him the equal of many supers. He even goes so far as to tell his people that if they ever really needed to take out Doctor Doom, part of the plan would be to drop both the Hulk and the Punisher on opposite ends of Latveria, turn them loose, and watch to see which one would reach the center of the nation (and Doom) first. This actually makes very good sense, as Doom would likely focus all his efforts on the Hulk and not have the time to realize how much Frank was fucking things up under the radar or the resources to spare in order to deal with him. Also while Frank is usually portrayed as avoiding the A-Class supervillains, he actually has had a somewhat decent track record of dealing with street level B class villains or supervillains with powers but who lack ambition or foresight in how they could use their powers such as Electro who Frank managed to get on the ropes once he managed to get around Electro’s powers using rubber bullets

At the end of the issue that introduced Jigsaw, Nightcrawler and Spider-Man discuss how much the guy hated Punisher for disfiguring him; for Frank, it's such a mundane occurrence he doesn't even remember it.

Superman Stays Out of Gotham
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_70489c17
comment
Superman Stays Out of Gotham: The Punisher tends to avoid superheroes and villains; the former because they'll probably try to apprehend him and the latter because they're out of his league and Frank knows it. Avoided by having the Darker and Edgier Punisher relegated to his own MAX title while the Marvel Universe Punisher took up Captain America's costume for an issue and had some Lighter and Softer (by comparison) adventures. Greg Rucka indicated, when starting his 2011 series, it was all a matter of viewpoint. The other superheroes are far better equipped to deal with major threats like Galactus, Norman Osborn, and Dormammu, but someone has to pay attention to the drug pushers and mobsters. Tackled head-on in Confederacy of Dunces, wherein Daredevil enlisted the assistance of both Spider-Man and Wolverine to capture Castle and turn him over to the police. While the Punisher would not use lethal force against them since he did not regard them as criminals, he still managed to create enough collateral damage that capturing him simply became not worth the cost. In addition, none of them had a ready answer when Frank pointed out that if they put him in prison, all he was going to do was start killing everyone else in there with him. All three heroes left, having to face the fact that short of killing him, there simply wasn't an easy solution to the Punisher. This problem is finally dealt with in Punisher War Zone where the Avengers capture Punisher and Iron Man puts him in a highly technological custom prison with no other inmates for him to kill and no loose parts for him to break and free himself with. Surprisingly enough, this eventually becomes something of an Inverted Trope. While Frank has usually considered super-powered villains to be "above his weight class" (except The Hood, who made things personal for him, and the occasional grade-Z clutter Marvel is trying clean out of its closet), he eventually gets sick of nearly getting eaten by the bigger fish his targets have occasionally summoned and decides he needs some upgrades to level the playing field; this is one of the catalysts for his Deal with the Devil in Secret Empire. This is followed by Punisher: War Machine, where he gets a chance to borrow a set of War Machine armor and decides to keep it for himself. This results in several understandably pissed off superheroes hunting him in Punisher: War Criminal. Though Frank eventually returns the armor, he's still got Hydra, The Hand, and a few heroes harboring considerable grudges against him.

Vigilante Militia
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_71bf37e3
comment
Vigilante Militia: One story has a trio of men inspired by the Punisher's return to join forces. Unfortunately, their methods are too different (one is a rich WASP (Elite), who shoots drug dealers and poor people hanging around his condo, another is a priest (the Holy) who axe-murders people who confess their deadly sins to him with every intention of going back for more, and the third (Mr. Payback) shoots up a board of Corrupt Corporate Executives (accidentally and unknowingly killing a cleaning lady in the process). They're all killed by the Punisher when he finds out, while Elite's son eventually finds his father's diary and tries to avenge him. In a Take That! to several real-life police groups that have begun superimposiong the Punisher logo over the "Thin Blue Line" flag, another story features a couple cops who come across him proudly displaying his logo on their cars, who are a part of a group of other officers who want to emulate Frank's example. Frank is not amused, and tells them in no uncertain terms if he finds out that they've broken their oaths as officers, he'll be gunning for them next because the police are supposed to be better than him, not sink to his level.

The judge only has about two seconds to crap his pants before Frank gets out of his cuffs and unleashes the most literal example of "Rage Against the Legal System" ever.

Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist: Chuck Dixon has stated he regrets not introducing one during his run, noting in hindsight that throwing flamboyant rogues at Frank and seeing if any of them would stick did not create a compelling conflict. Garth Ennis deconstructed and subverted this trope with the character of Martin Soap. Agent Ortiz filled this role during the Cloonan/Dillon run. Nick Fury has begun to step into this role as a result of the fallout from Punisher: War Criminal.

Hollywood Silencer: Averted in Punisher: War Zone. During Castle's attack on Jigsaw's hideout, Castle uses an M4 variant with a suppressor. The gunshots sound more like muffled cracks than a "fwip". Also, the Smith and Wesson model 500 he uses is fitted with a suppressor which makes the shots sound like loud thuds. In Circle of Blood inmates attempting to assassinate Castle while he is imprisoned are able to obtain a pistol from a corrupt guard, but end up having to tape a soda bottle to the muzzle, since their limited resources and timetable make acquiring a real suppressor impossible. The "soda bottle silencer" ends up waking up nearby inmates (who were in on the plot anyway) and slows down the bullet's muzzle velocity to the point that Frank's mattress soaks up the shots.

Never Hurt an Innocent
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_82384b1
comment
Never Hurt an Innocent: This is one of the reasons the Punisher is an Anti Hero. He takes great pains to avoid civilian casualties while he's gunning down dozens of goons. Spider-Man has noted that it has been said the Punisher will turn himself in if he ever harms an innocent person, with this attitude one of the main reasons other heroes are willing to work with him when they have to. Frank has also on occasions been shown to dislike killing animals, because an animal can't truly be guilty. That said, Frank's definition of "innocent" can be very narrow, as he would have shot an otherwise innocent drug addict to get to the gangster holding her hostage in New Ways to Live. This, like many of his traits, varies quite a bit by the writer.

His exact motives vary Depending on the Writer, but it's usually some combination of the following three: he's trying to clean up the world via total war because it's the only method he's really good at, such a Blood Knight that limiting himself to criminals is the only thing stopping him from going full Ax-Crazy spree killer, or just a Death Seeker.

Give Chase with Angry Natives
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_8514979
comment
Give Chase with Angry Natives: Chased by Mafia goons through a zoo, Frank runs through the polar bear enclosure, punches the first sleepy one he sees, and keeps running. By the time the goons get there, they are facing three very pissed-off polar bears. In another story, Frank is driving around town killing various gang members and criminals. One group survives the initial attack and gives chase. Frank gets rid of them by driving through a Mafia meeting without stopping; the gangstas following aren't so lucky.

Ambiguously Evil: This has mostly do with inconsistent writing, but it's still debatable whether Frank is an Anti-Hero or a psychotic serial killer. Many story settings and writers end up presenting him as both, but many will attempt in-story to present him as strictly the former or the latter.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Averted with most of the recurring villains from earlier books, whose plotpoints were resolved in various one-shots, annuals, and miniseries before all three of Punisher's main books came to an end. Played straight with Thorn, who is probably still shuffling around Newark, and Dr. Ng, who is shown surviving his debut but fails to make an another appearance.

Black-and-Gray Morality
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_8767b1f3
comment
Black-and-Gray Morality: The Punisher is a sociopathic, cruel, Knight Templar, Blood Knight, mass-murderering, Vigilante Man, but is recurrently put against exaggerated versions of the worst sorts of people reality has to offer. Most Punisher villains don't seem to even have any character traits besides malice, greed, sadism, and selfishness. Garth Ennis writes the character as 100% aware of this, often repeatedly stating that his only reason to continue living is to punish those worse than himself. Many morally dubious superheroes and even normal citizens secretly enable Frank to allow him to do the dirty work of getting rid of baddies in ways they wouldn't want to do themselves.

Humiliation Conga: Detective Soap's entire life, to the point where it eventually stops being funny and just becomes depressing. Fortunately, his life gets better once he decides to walk away from New York and his job as a police officer. His new occupation? Porn star. Turns out he had unusually large genitals, but was unaware that they were bigger than average. When Punisher ran into Wolverine, he took full advantage of the fact that he couldn't permanently kill or maim him. Blew off his face, blew off his crotch and ran him over with a steamroller. When Wolverine appears the next time, he understandably holds a grudge. Then Frank blows him up with a rocket launcher and has the Hulk punch him halfway across the east coast.

Death by Newbery Medal: Frank's old guard dog, Max, which was killed off in the same arc it was introduced in. It's shot by a gangster trying to raid one of Frank's hideouts. When Frank sees that he's dying, he puts him down with a knife. Frank's crying when he does this. In a later two-parter, Max was retconned into surviving, and he's quite possibly still around to this day.

Asshole Victim
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_8ed5c6e4
comment
Asshole Victim: Most (if not all) of Frank's victims. A few do stand out. In one case, a man actually managed to get the drop on Frank and drugged him into a stupor, then kicked the shit out of him while he was helpless. If that wasn't enough, he also talked down to the Punisher like he was a pet or a small child. Finally, when he's ready to untie Frank, he explains that he's also given him a slow-acting poison that will kill him in six hours, and that he wants Frank to kill some people for him. "I don't have the antidote. I don't know where it is. My associates do. You'll get it when the job is done. Kill me, you're just killing yourself. Understand?" The Punisher nods, and the man is too stupid to realize that Frank is just confirming that he understands, nothing more. Once he is untied, the Punisher immediately breaks the man's neck. Frank: "Won't waste time looking for the antidote. Probably doesn't exist." Asshole Victim, indeed. The guy was practically begging for what he got.

Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: Frank has a number of sympathizers like Microchip who have access to modern military-grade hardware and technology that's even more advanced. Some of the more violent superheroes actually like the guy and are willing to throw him something really special for some of his tougher missions (Black Widow and the Winter Soldier gave him special ammo that can go through the Mandarin's force field, while Red Hulk got him gamma-modified body armor for his days as a Thunderbolt). He still has contacts with officers from different military units around the world that he's able to bribe for guns. And of course, he's happy to steal money and weapons from criminal organizations.

He also doesn't look kindly upon those who idolize him, or see him as a role model. In one comic, he encountered a couple of Fanboy cops (claiming to be part of a larger group) who had a sticker of his skull symbol placed on their car's bumper, and told him, "We believe in you". In response, Frank took off the sticker and ripped it up, at the same time calling out the officers for idolizing him of all people.

Non-Lethal Warfare
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_9fb11776
comment
Non-Lethal Warfare: Generally averted; however, the Punisher has been known to carry less-lethal weapons around, such as in situations where there is an increased risk of collateral damage. In the earlier stories, he often used "Mercy Bullets" when teamed up with other superheroes so as not to violate their no-kill rules; with no explanation as to what they were. Modern stories will sometimes explicitly mention him using rubber bullets. He'll usually only use non-lethal weapons grudgingly. For instance, in the Omega Effect crossover with Spider-Man and Daredevil: Used for practical purposes when Punisher fought Electro during the 2011 series. Electro's powers makes it impossible to kill him with metal bullets, so Frank switched to rubber ones. It wont kill him obviously, but it hurt like hell.

Still, he's racked up quite an impressive number of enemies who have lasted over several issues (and in a few cases, at least two arcs); the most long-lasting of these is Jigsaw, who Frank has often chosen to keep alive on the grounds that the disfigured assassin is more of a danger to criminals than to innocents. Other villains of special note who have had repeat appearances in the 616 continuity include The Kingpin, Saracen, Damage, Thorn, Rosalie Carbone, Rapido, Ma Gnucci, the Russian, Recoil, Bushwacker, Sniper, Blackwell, the Elite, Gregario, the Rev, and Johnny Nightmare. The MAX continuity gives us Nicky Cavella, Bill Rawlins and Barracuda.

Celibate Hero: Frank doesn't seem to have much interest in the ladies, but this is most likely justified by the fact that he still thinks about his family and/or he's too busy killing scum. He has had romantic encounters with some women, including the one that resulted in his illegitimate daughter in the MAX series, but it's not a significant part of his characterization outside of when he's written by Mike Baron, who has him sleeping around as much as your typical action hero.

As much as he has a beef with New York's other costumed heroes (most of them really aren't into the whole "killing without trial" thing), any time he goes fisticuffs with them, he will never kill them, only seek to disable them. As much as he thinks they don't do enough about crime, he respects that they're doing something. Having said that, he knows that Wolverine, in particular, has a Healing Factor - and some of the tactics Frank has used against him have led to Ludicrous Gibs and would be fatal against anyone else.

Joker Immunity: Most notably, The Kingpin. The biggest gang boss in New York, but it's been explained that Frank can't kill him because if he does, New York will be devastated by gangs trying to take his place.note The Punisher's first miniseries actually had Frank claim to have killed Fisk, who was not in New York at the time. He spends the following issues trying to stop the resulting gang war from spiraling out of control. Also Jigsaw, who Frank has let live numerous times except in the 2008 movie, where Frank impales him with a metal rod, then pushes him onto a large torch. Frank finally kills Kingpin, along with Bullseye, Green Goblin, and several other villains for real just before the Incursion that destroys Earth-616. Though this is undone post Secret Wars, ultimately playing the trope straight. Lampshaded in his crossover with Batman. Frank has cornered the Trope Namer himself, who immediately starts cracking jokes about going to Arkham. Frank just coldly cocks his handgun and prepares to blow off the Joker's head, until Batman intervenes.

Karma Houdini
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_a70223
comment
Karma Houdini: Strange, given the nature of the character, but there have been a few. One arc set in Baltimore involved a family of drug dealing hicks led by an Evil Matriarch. After killing her boys, Frank breaks into their home and demands to know who's in charge, and Maw blames it all on Paw, allowing her to escape Frank's wrath. A drug designer named "Wizard" also never crosses paths with Frank, and makes it out of the story intact. The "Sicilian Saga" arc had Frank's uncle and aunt killed on the orders of local mafia boss Elio Bessucco. Despite encountering him during a mob wedding in a later arc, he managed to escape and hasn't been seen since. Finally there's Salvatore Carbone, AKA Thorn, who was one of the only recurring villains not killed off before the "Angel Punisher" story arc. And of course, Frank himself counts for the superhero community.

Black-and-White Insanity
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_a808063f
comment
Black-and-White Insanity: Depending on the writer, of course, but some versions of the Punisher show his obsession with justice as twisting his mind. Taken to the extreme in "The Punisher: The End", where he tracks down the sole survivors on a post-nuclear apocalypse Earth and executes them, because they're the various corrupt and amoral power players whose greed led to the war in the first place. What makes this example worse is that Punisher knows that their bunker also has a stockpile of preserved human embryos and the devices to bring them to term, meaning that this bunker could be used to restore the human race... and he still kills everyone. Not just the fat cats, but the doctors who could look after that stockpile. His rationale boils down to, essentially, because humans create crime, humanity doesn't deserve to live.

Wife-Basher Basher: Frank is extra-cruel towards scum who beat women. To anyone who abuses their family, really. In the MAX series, he attacks a neighbor for having cheated on his wife. Granted, this was before he was the Punisher, and just after he'd lost his family, but still. He also snipes a woman who killed her children, even though she was already under arrest.

Everyone Has Standards

comment
Everyone Has Standards: Believe it or not, there ARE some lines he will not cross, though note that some of these are Depending on the Writer: He will not kill cops as a general rule, even crooked ones. The rare occasions where he does are usually accidental, self-defense, or the guy just REALLY deserved it. He's also more willing to take care when dealing with hired security as opposed to actual criminal gangs, on the reasoning that he isn't going to kill people who are just there for the paycheck and may not have done anything actually wrong. He's willing to spare people who make their case that they're only committing crime under duress. He's let people go who were being blackmailed or forced into criminal activities, since they convinced Frank they weren't going to be career criminals. The trick, however, is getting him to ease off the trigger long enough to convince him. He's also more willing to spare kids and teenagers, under the logic that they're young and will learn from his little visit to not be involved anymore. Criminals that are currently being processed by the system (e.g. in court or custody) he leaves alone. He also doesn't go after defendants who have been legitimately cleared by a court of law. Now, if they get off when they're clearly guilty, then they become fair game once more. Though at times, he has killed prisoners he deemed deserving while they were were held in custody. As much as he has a beef with New York's other costumed heroes (most of them really aren't into the whole "killing without trial" thing), any time he goes fisticuffs with them, he will never kill them, only seek to disable them. As much as he thinks they don't do enough about crime, he respects that they're doing something. Having said that, he knows that Wolverine, in particular, has a Healing Factor - and some of the tactics Frank has used against him have led to Ludicrous Gibs and would be fatal against anyone else. Part of the reason other costumed heroes are willing to work with him when circumstances demand is that they respect that he doesn’t harm the innocent; Spider-Man noted that he’s heard that the Punisher has vowed to turn himself in if his actions ever cause the direct death of an innocent person. He also doesn't look kindly upon those who idolize him, or see him as a role model. In one comic, he encountered a couple of Fanboy cops (claiming to be part of a larger group) who had a sticker of his skull symbol placed on their car's bumper, and told him, "We believe in you". In response, Frank took off the sticker and ripped it up, at the same time calling out the officers for idolizing him of all people.

Epic Fail

Epic Fail: In Issue #18 of the original Punisher: War Journal series, Frank is in Hawaii tracking down a gang of drug dealers. He ends up armed with an old double barreled pistol taken off the body of Captain Cook. Frank ambushes one of the dealers and fires at him, causing a loud bang and bright flash...followed by the ball bearing slipping out of the pistol. Frank then throws the gun at the guy, which he ducks, causing the pistol to smack against the stump of a tree... which makes the other barrel discharge, hitting Frank right in the kevlar. In The Superior Foes of Spider-Man, Punisher attempts to assault a group of supervillains including Mister Negative and Tombstone... only for C-Lister Shocker to knock him out in one hit. However, it must be noted that the Shocker is C-List by choice. He's legitimately dangerous and a very skilled fighter, whose suit protects him from injury and his gauntlets can bring down a building. Spider-Man doesn't take him lightly. He keeps a low profile, doesn't try to build a reputation, and avoids killing, because all those things will just attract the attention of SHIELD, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, etc. During the Slavers arc in Punisher MAX, Frank attempts to ambush the hired guns for the slavery ring. Frank has forgotten, however, that these are not the usual street punks with poor aim and no tactics. These were hardened soldiers from the Yugoslav wars. Frank was nearly killed.

Frank is not amused, and tells them in no uncertain terms if he finds out that they've broken their oaths as officers, he'll be gunning for them next because the police are supposed to be better than him, not sink to his level.

Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Inverted. Frank’s military training, combat skill, bulletproof costume and arsenal of weapons make him a One-Man Army who steamrolls standard street thugs. In Real Life or a more grounded work of fiction he’d be one of the most dangerous people in the world. In the Marvel Universe he is... a man who owns some guns; he wouldn’t last thirty seconds against the likes of Doctor Doom, the Green Goblin or Sabretooth. Which is probably why he almost never fights actual supervillains.

Too Dumb to Live: Quite a lot of villains. One minor gangster was dumb enough to brag about how he would take over his boss' territory and "business" when Frank (who had just offed said boss) was still right there; this was met with the predictable results: Frank himself at times. He's usually smart enough to understand that he's just a normal man with guns, so picking a fight with superpowered beings is a bad idea. But some writers throw common sense to the wind and do it anyways, with predictable results.

Rage Against the Heavens: Frank was raised Catholic, but didn't have much use for the idea of forgiving people who'd done terrible things. The fact that he saw a lot of terrible things while still a child also caused him to have serious doubts about the idea of a loving God. Now when he sees terrible things done to innocent people, he's pretty direct about the way he feels: "There are times I'd like to get my hands on God."

Berserk Button: Mocking or ridiculing or insulting Captain America means he will go insane on your ass. He respects Cap so much that he on one occasion where Cap was kicking his ass, Frank absolutely refused to fight back at all. In one story line, he saw a news story where a man dressed in a costume that was very similar to Cap's was boasting about killing illegal immigrants. Frank: "I'm stealing a car. I'm driving to New Mexico. And when I get there I'm going to shoot that guy in the face!"

Jealous Romantic Witness: One story has Jigsaw capture Frank and try to break him by projecting footage of Jigsaw having sex with Frank's resurrected wife (actually a hitwoman who underwent Magic Plastic Surgery to look like her) on a wall of Frank's cell with the sound set to maximum. It doesn't work.

Improbable Aiming Skills: While most of Frank's fights are up close, he pulls this off every now and then. For example, in one of his earliest fights he manages to shoot out both of Spider-Man's web shooters while he's in mid-leap.

Sleeping with the Boss's Wife: In an early story, a mob boss routinely mistreats his underlings, including killing them. When he and another mook open a door to find an explosive with only a few seconds left, the mook tells the boss he's been with the boss' wife for the past two years.

 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_c3648b87
comment
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Force Frank to team up with another hero, and this trope is the result. While he and the hero community in general tend to dislike one another, he's at least willing to work with them against the 'real' villains. Averted more often than most people might assume, at least in the nineties. Frank had quite a few crossovers, and most of the people he worked with were either okay with him or felt he was a good man at heart. There were only a few who outright hated him.

Shout-Out
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The late, great, Puerto Rican rapper "Big Punisher" (he had a heart attack; dude was 698 pounds). Ma Gucci mentions Namor the Sub-Mariner by name in the midst of all her snarking, and it's thrown in with lots of other off-hand reference to lots of different Marvel heroes made throughout the book. One of the mooks is reading The Bridges of Madison County, of all things. In The Punisher: Assassin's Guild oneshot comic, Frank guns down thinly-disguised counterparts of Lupin III and his gang. While fighting Roc, who keeps on going even after having his neck snapped, Frank notes that the guy's "just like Jason, he never dies!" In "The Resurrection of Ma Gnucci", von Richthofen goes to a lesbian bar called "Wonder Wimmin".

comment
Charles Atlas Super Power: Frank is occasionally depicted as this, between being a Vietnam veteran Determinator having Improbable Aiming Skills and (as in the War Zone movie) extremely sensitive hearing. Some of his enemies — particularly The Russian — are similarly empowered. In addition, Frank's ability to tolerate pain is shown to be off the scale, which allows him to keep functioning despite injuries that would have any other man completely incapacitated. It helps that Frank is both Made Of Iron and a Determinator. Nick Fury and Tony Stark have both observed that Frank's ability to tolerate pain is absolutely psychopathic. When he's going after a target it doesn't matter how much he gets hurt. He just doesn't care.

Can Always Spot a Cop
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_c95ea95f
comment
Can Always Spot a Cop: Frank is very good at spotting cops. One reason is that his line of work requires him to avoid them (although many writers have made it clear that most street cops wholeheartedly approve of his war on crime and don't put any effort into apprehending him). Another reason is that he is very careful to make certain there aren't any undercover police officers present when he targets criminals. It's one of the reasons why he surveils his targets for a considerable length of time while planning the hit. His internal monologue during one encounter highlights both this trope and his Sherlock Scan abilities:

Series Continuity Error
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: Oddly, Frank's daughter has had at least four different names, Barbara, Donna, Christie and Lisa, while the name of his son (Frank Jr) is always consistent. Also Microchip's real name was originally "Lowell Bartholomew Ori", but was changed to "Linus Liberman" later. Additionally, the first time Frank's father is mentioned he's given the name "Mario", but a later story arc has him named "Lorenzo". Also goes for Frank's last name (sometimes his birth name is Castiglione, other times it isn't; the whole thing was a clumsy attempt to add mobbed-up relatives as part of an Expansion Pack Past) and his Vietnam service (usually shown as an officer, many stories feature him instead as an enlisted rifleman). Several attempts at an Author's Saving Throw have him illegally re-entering the Marine Corps under his assumed name, which only raises further questions. Castiglione was established as his birth name in the first comic that his name was mentioned in at all. It was said that his parents changed it from Castiglione to Castle when he was six years old. It's not uncommon for immigrants to Americanize their surnames, so maybe it was just to give some extra backstory originally.

One story has a trio of men inspired by the Punisher's return to join forces. Unfortunately, their methods are too different (one is a rich WASP (Elite), who shoots drug dealers and poor people hanging around his condo, another is a priest (the Holy) who axe-murders people who confess their deadly sins to him with every intention of going back for more, and the third (Mr. Payback) shoots up a board of Corrupt Corporate Executives (accidentally and unknowingly killing a cleaning lady in the process). They're all killed by the Punisher when he finds out, while Elite's son eventually finds his father's diary and tries to avenge him.

Lighter and Softer: After getting his own series, Punisher became a good deal more sympathetic, to the point that he rarely used real bullets in crossovers. This reached its highpoint in a crossover with Power Pack (Frank does have a soft spot for kids, but that usually extends to just avoiding them so they won't get caught in the crossfire and protecting them from bad guys, not teaming up with them).

Badass Longcoat: Frank's often depicted wearing a black trench coat, especially in more modern stories where it replaces his more traditional comic costume. Typically, towards the end of the story, when he starts to mean business he just stops wearing it. In War Zone, he trades up the longcoat for a more mobile outfit, replacing the longcoat with body armor.

What the Hell, Hero?: The Punisher gets this from almost every superhero (and a few supervillains) he comes across. Frank himself occasionally gets to deliver these, his most famous one occurring in his crossover with Batman where Bats saves the Joker from him (and allows him to go scotfree), allowing him to continue killing as many innocent people as he can. Frank gives him one major calling out before he leaves Gotham.

Bulletproof Human Shield: A common tactic of Frank's; use a crook to kill a crook. He once used an unconscious Spider-Man as a shield while fighting the resurrected Russian. When Spidey came to, he had one hell of a headache. His first hit in The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank features a firefight in a morgue, where a mook lifts up a corpse and tries to use it as a shield. Frank's comment as he shoots both is that you should not hide behind a skinny corpse.

I Don't Like You And You Don't Like Me: In the mainstream Marvel Universe, this pretty much sums up how the heroes feel about him (they basically think he's a serial killer and no better than the crooks he kills) while Frank regards most if not all of them as dangerously naïve and unwilling to do what needs to be done. In the MAX Universe, this trope is averted as there are no supers, or at least he never crosses paths with them.

comment
Irish Explosives Expert: The "Kitchen Irish" arc has one ... though his face is mangled from a bomb that blew up in his face, so either he had a bad day or the "Expert" part of the trope name doesn't quite fit. To be fair, homemade explosives are volatile at the best of times, and being an expert won't keep them from backfiring on you.

Drugs Are Bad
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_de7b7cbf
comment
Drugs Are Bad: To an almost cartoonish degree in the 80's, Frank apparently considered drug dealing to be the worst crime a person could commit this side of the Nuremberg trials. Has lessened since them, though he's not exactly thrilled about people using or selling drugs now either, he'll usually just go after dealers who are also killers.

Job Mindset Inertia
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_df0c57a2
comment
Job Mindset Inertia: One story has Frank go undercover as Santa Claus in an orphanage. To set up a booby trap, he tells the kids to make snowmen, but ends up barking out orders as if he was still in the armed forces, telling the kids the exact height and spacing to give the snowmen so the grenades will be more effective. In a broader sense, Frank's consistent edge on the mobsters is that he still thinks like a soldier, whereas the mobsters are rarely used to facing anything tougher than another gang. Reversed in the "The Slavers" arc of Punisher MAX. Frank set a trap for the eponymous slavers, but Frank was almost killed because instead of the scared gangbangers or slightly more competent mafioso, these were hardened veterans of the Balkan wars, who immediately used military tactics of their own to fight back.

Play-Along Prisoner
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_e116fedc
comment
Play-Along Prisoner: Whenever The Punisher is jailed, it's usually because he allowed himself to be (usually he walks up to a police station and says "I surrender"), so he can kill one or more guys who are unreachable otherwise. Given that he's the friggin' Punisher, no one gives him trouble (those that do don't last very long). During the story arc wherein Matt Murdock was in prison, Frank even let himself be captured in order to be put in the same prison, because he knew that Matt was going to need an ally. The two of them have a healthy respect for each other, despite their completely different approaches to crime. They even carried on civil conversations while eating meals in the cafeteria, and Frank respected Matt enough to comply when he asked him not to kill a prisoner who'd just attacked him. They'll never exchange Christmas cards, though.

Flanderization
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: The Punisher's appearance in Runaways, which isn't too surprising, as Joss Whedon kind of hates him, infamously referring to Frank as a killing and firearm-glorifying "coward" in an interview with Wizard. Frank's Ultimate Marvel counterpart is even more fanatic about his crusade than Frank is. Even having the Ultimate Marvel version of Ghost Rider, an agent of Satan, telling him "keep up the good work" doesn't dissuade him from his killing spree. He thinks the message comes from his family, or maybe even God himself. He's also even more suicidal than the regular Frank, to the point that, when he thinks he's accidentally killed an innocent person, he demands to be "Punished".

No Endor Holocaust
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_e62dfb96
comment
No Endor Holocaust: As noted above in Never Hurt an Innocent, it is incredibly lucky that in his forty-plus history (during which he's racked up a criminal body count canonically in the thousands), the Punisher has virtually never hurt an innocent civilian, even accidentally (the number of times it's ever happened can be counted on one hand, even including alternate universes). In-universe this can partly be justified to the Punisher being inhumanly skilled and phenomenally well prepared for every combat situation, out of universe it can justified by it being an Enforced Trope (since it would probably be too much for the audience to continuously stomach an anti-"hero" who's okay with innocent casualties).

 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_e663d3ef
comment
Only a Flesh Wound: About 90% of times when Frank actually gets shot, it's Only a Flesh Wound, as a side effect of him being Made of Iron. Sure, writers pay some superficial attention to things like blood loss and shock, but Frank still can operate at practically 100% efficiency within hours after, say, taking bullets from a machine gun in his flank and shoulder.

Merry Christmas in Gotham: There's a story where Frank is about to snipe a drug lord, when suddenly there's a little girl pulling on his coat telling him she's lost her dad. Frank stares at her and puts the gun away. When they find her dad, he starts to thank him before recognizing his chest emblem and starting to panic. Frank tells him to calm down, that he should really teach his daughter not to talk to strangers, and then leaves.

Blue-and-Orange Morality: Criminals and heroes alike are forever pointing out to Frank that he's fighting a war he cannot win: no matter how many rapists, dealers and murderers he kills, there will always be others to take their place, and once he dies he won't have accomplished anything. None of them ever seem to realize that Frank is perfectly aware of this, and is absolutely not afraid to die (in one story he's poisoned, spends the last six hours of his life killing as many criminals as he can, and is pissed off that he gets injected with the antidote at the last second).

Jerkass: Kevin the bartender, who is always giving Det. Soap a hard time. In particular, he will often set him up with, encourage him into or fail to warn him against relationships that are possibly incestous or dangerous for the sake of his own amusement. Frank come off as this sometimes, especially towards Soap, who he's even stated that he keeps him around because Soap's whiny personality makes it harder to feel bad in case criminals use Soap to get to him. He's also needlessly antagonistic towards Spider-Man and Daredevil, who's sole crime is trying to keep Frank from turning New York into a slaughterhouse. His time on General Ross's Thunderbolts has a rather nasty scene where Ghost Rider is killed when his powers mysteriously fail in the middle of a crocodile-infested river (secretly sabotaged by The Leader who had found some mystical way of disrupting them), and his only response is a snide remark about how superpowered individuals have no idea how their powers work and how he'd rather trust in his guns. Fittingly, this storyline has both him and Elektra, the Badass Normals of the group, die when they're stuck in a pit trap in an ancient temple, a trap that Ghost Rider could easily have escaped (not that either of them mind all that much, being Death Seekers). This entire timeline is erased when Ross ends up rewinding time with the help of an infant Celestial.

Decapitation Strike
 The Punisher (Comic Book) / int_ecdb8790
comment
Decapitation Strike: The Punisher often pulls these off, as disorganized crime is easier to deal with. Averted where the Kingpin is involved, the usual justification being that taking him out will cause gang wars that will hurt civilians. The Punisher MAX begins with Frank sneaking up on the birthday party of the centenarian Don Cesare, shooting him and as many of the invited high-rankers as he can. The resulting power vacuum fuels much of the series. In The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank, Frank goes to a lot of trouble to rescue a Don being held hostage from a South American rebel camp. The Ungrateful Bastard betrays Frank and returns to New York, where he calls a meeting of the Mafia to deal with the Punisher once and for all. Frank calls him at that moment to ask him why he'd been rescued, if not as the best way to put a lot of high-ranking Mafia goons in the same room. Then shows up with an M-60. Yet another has Frank booby-trap a building where various organized crime members are having a meeting. He pushes down the detonator, making it clear that if he dies, everyone dies, and promptly starts shooting the helpless criminals. Barracuda once sent out invitations to multiple mob bosses in a single location in order to mow them down... and as bait for Frank.

Popularity Power: Let's be honest; Frank's crusade continues in the world of Marvel because of just how much readers and certain authors love the idea of a Badass Normal '90s Anti-Hero. He has on several occasions managed to achieve feats that, realistically, a normal man with a big gun should not be capable of, such as the time he beat Deadpool almost to death with a sword, or the time he fatally shot Sandman, who is an Elemental Embodiment of sand and thus has no blood or organs to lose.

Stock Shōnen Rival: He can be considered this to Daredevil, with Punisher being a ruthless Anti-Hero and Byronic Hero who isn't necessarily evil but still wears black, has no qualms about killing, and possesses a worldview and philosophy completely the opposite to Matt Murdock in just about every way. The two basically have a Red Oni, Blue Oni relationship and their crimefighting methods and views are so fundamentally incompatible that every time the two meet up, they'll end up exchanging blows more often than they ever team up.

Pet the Dog: Frank is shown to be capable of at least consideration for others, although it rarely approaches truly displaying kindness. Understandable, in that he's a loner who knows better than to let anyone get too close to him. Still, if he feels a debt is owed or that he's obligated to someone, he'll make every effort to even things out. Having beaten Jigsaw, Frank goes to finish the job when Soap calls for help, having been taken prisoner. It nearly costs him his life, as Soap tries to reason not to kill Jigsaw, before shouting a warning when he tries to shoot The Punisher. In the end of Greg Rucka's run, Frank stays behind to take on a whole bunch of superheroes, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and Black Widow in order to buy time for his partner, Rachel Cole-Alves, to escape.
