03/16/2004 | By definition, the Punisher is not a superhero. One must have superhuman abilities in order to be considered a superhero. Frank Castle, a.k.a. Punisher, is just a regular human being. He does not have any natural superpowers. Therefore, he is stricken from this category by default.

07/27/2003 | Right on!!! Not so much a superhero as a heavily armed unbalanced weirdo in a skull suit. He didn't just capture the villains and turn them over to the police, like superman or spidey, he liked to torture them and gun them down like dogs.

05/30/2003 | One of the first comic books that I started to read and still one of my favorites. This character is a believable one. Anyone that sees his family get gunned down would suffer some sort of emotional torment. And this character is driven by his pain to keep others from suffering.

12/16/2002 | Doesn't need a tight, bright costume to pound his foes, good or bad. Doesn't need magic or even an unrealistic super power. Just brute force and guns. That is what makes him very interesting: the fact that in his world, good and evil is not clear cut, mostly a gray area and the Punisher creams everyone in his way.

04/30/2001 | As a teenager I collected comic books, and I remember being really impressed when the Punisher made his debut (in an issue of Amazing Spider-Man, I think). My take is that the Punisher paved the way for a whole new generation of morally ambiguous super-heroes, which injected comic books with a new level of complexity. No longer could you just group all the characters into "good guys" and "bad guys" - the Punisher inhabited a world that wasn't purely black or white. Which then made hundreds of thousands of impressionable kids think about a very important question: what does it mean to be good? Can someone who takes the law into their own hands be considered a hero? Sure we're not talking about PhD-level philosophy here, but I liked the fact that the Punisher wasn't your typical overly-simplistic comic book character. He started a trend that continues today with characters like Spawn.
