*In the past the Punisher has served time in prison for his brutal slayings. While imprisoned, Punisher was drugged by Jigsaw. These mind-altering chemicals had a delayed, cumulative effect that drove the Punisher mad. He broke free from prison and opened fire on every litterbug and jaywalker he saw. The Punisher was finally recaptured, underwent detoxification and was sent back to prison, only to escape again. *Source: Card Back
