The Punisher has always been depicted as someone who takes the law into his own hands in the most brutal ways imaginable, and while some Marvel fans enjoy the gritty tales of his gruesome conquests, others are critical about the Punisher’s sociological impact in the real world. One storyline actually touches on the Punisher’s real world criticism and even agrees with the dangers associated with the Punisher’s potential influence on society.
Frank Castle's metamorphosis into the Punisher was a painful one. After serving as a United States Marine and returning home from war, Frank and his family were gunned down while at a local park. Frank survived, his wife and children did not.
This Punisher story highlights the dangers of society idolizing someone as dark and violent as the Punisher. Even though the people the Punisher kills are the worst kind of humans, like murderers, drug traffickers, crime bosses, and child molesters, killing them is still, in and of itself, wrong. Just as Daredevil has always tried to impart onto Frank, the justice system isn’t perfect, but it’s the best thing they have to maintain law and order.
While the Punisher’s influence over real world violent crimes is virtually non-existent and should therefore not raise any concerns, this storyline is a clear message that the Punisher should not be looked up to or emulated in any way–and that message is from the Punisher himself. The Punisher was never meant to be an inspiration to anyone.
And now Marvel is screwing up the character by giving him powers... thanks to jasonaaron ... No skull... but powers... Just no.
