The Punisher

One man. One mission. No mercy. Frank Castle was a decorated Marine who came home to his family – until a day in Central Park, when his wife and children were gunned down after witnessing a mob execution. Frank survived. The man he used to be did not. What was left was the Punisher: a one-man army waging an endless war on organised crime. No powers, no mask, no second chances – just military training, an arsenal of weapons and a code he will never break. Mobsters, cartels, corrupt cops and killers who slipped through the system all end up in his sights. Since his first appearance in 1974, the Punisher has become one of Marvel's most uncompromising and controversial characters – a street-level vigilante whose stories are raw, violent and morally complex, asking how far is too far in the name of justice.
