Frank Castle was a loving husband and caring father but became the merciless engine of vengeance known as the Punisher when his family was brutally killed for stumbling upon a gangland murder in progress. The Punisher, drawing on his years as a U.S. Marine, now wages a one-man war on crime, sentencing criminals to the same fate that his family met. Occasionally teamed up with an aging computer-hack who believes in his mission. The Punisher staunchly believes that the only good crook is a dead crook!
