comment
I'm a Humanitarian: During the one year spent in the fallout bunker under Sing Sing, Frank shot two former guards sharing the space for trying to eat a deceased third guard (whom the Punisher also shot, because the third guard was about to open the hatch and flood the bunker with radiation).

Post-Apocalyptic Traffic Jam: Frank and Peters see a lot of abandoned cars, their owners killed as they were trying to flee (Frank notes that the EMP kills the engines and the fallout isn't far behind). They spend the night in "a schoolbus full of assisted suicides".

Uncertain Doom
 The Punisher: The End (Comic Book) / int_2854b56d
comment
Uncertain Doom: Frank mentions that William Teach made it to the shelter along with several guards and a doctor (it's also unclear if the guards killing the D-Block inmates and any remaining inmates besides Peters were spared by the Punisher). While at least four of them died (Teach and three men who died during an I'm a Humanitarian situation, one of whom may have been the man who stabbed Teach), it's never specifically stated that there was no one else left alive when Frank and Paris left (although even if there was, their long-term chances of survival are questionable).

comment
Shoot the Builder: A non-lethal version of the trope, as William Teach, who designed the bunker housing The Coven (politicians and businessmen responsible for the war that ruined the Earth), was framed by them for an unspecified crime and ended up in Sing Sing. There he met Frank Castle, to whom he relayed the info on his employers, sending Castle after them when he emerged from the fallout shelter.

"Everybody Dies" Ending
 The Punisher: The End (Comic Book) / int_55cd4012
comment
"Everybody Dies" Ending: After a nuclear apocalypse, the Punisher and his sidekick venture out of a bomb shelter when the radiation has gone down enough for them to make it to the people responsible for turning the world into a nuclear wasteland. Once he gets there he massacres all of them. Including the scientist, and the security guards who were only doing their jobs. He then strangles his sidekick to death after he confirms that he inadvertently caused the deaths of dozens of children. The story ends with the Punisher, now engulfed in flames, walking off into the wasteland.

Implacable Man: Frank. Nothing, not old age, not World War III, not imminent death from radiation poisoning, not even the knowledge that he's condemning the human race to extinction, will stop him from delivering punishment. Even when all this is done, he walks off through the ruins of New York, hallucinating that it's 1976 and he's heading to Central Park to avert his family's deaths... completely ignoring the fact that he's on fire.

Jerkass Has a Point: Frank's execution of the Coven, and with them the human race. They started the war that destroyed the world, knowing that when it happened they could ride it out in their bunkers with their breeding women and a stock of frozen embryos — re-populating the world from their seed alone. Frank wasn't completely insane when he put them all down; They killed everyone else on Earth so they could rule the ashes. Why should he have let them?

Bad Ass Decay: Downplayed. Frank gets old enough that he managed to get arrested and firmly locked up in Sing Sing for some time before the story starts (admittedly one of the guards explains he transitioned quite well to cutting a bloody swathe through the inmate population), while his younger-Max and Earth-616 self is generally shown to be capable of escaping prison fairly consistently.

Black-and-White Insanity
 The Punisher: The End (Comic Book) / int_a808063f
comment
Black-and-White Insanity: 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 Frank Castle knows that their bunker also has a stockpile of preserved human embryos (sired by them) 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: "They're trying to buy me off by saying they'll save the human race... from the apocalypse they started specifically so they could rule the world. Fuck that."

Intro-Only Point of View: The first pages are told from the POV of a man referred to as the governor (it's vague whether he's the actual governor of New York state or the warden of Sing Sing) as he tells his assistant about how the negotiations have failed, war is imminent, and the missiles will be flying soon after calling Sing Sing and ordering them to shoot all the prisoners to prevent them from somehow taking over anything that's left afterwards.

comment
The Unfettered: Taken to its logical extreme. We watch Frank destroy humanity's last chance for survival in a nuclear wasteland rather than show mercy to the bastards who made the world into the wasteland it now is. Even by Unfettered standards that's chilling. And at the same time, it has a nihilistic nobility to it. Castle lets humanity die out rather than leave it under the control of the people who brought the world to an end. Humanity's epitaph, as written by Frank Castle: "We died at the hands of evil men... but we did not let it go unpunished."
