About the Punisher

The Punisher was born Francis “Frank” Castle Sr. and was a member of the United States Marine Corps. While he was serving in Afghanistan, Castle jointed the Cerberus Squad where he saw things that no person should ever see. Castle started to worry that he was becoming less of an honorable man while he served under Agent Orange so he left the group to return to his family only to have them all murdered by an awful shooting.

At this moment, Frank Castle became the Punisher and was on a mission to exact revenge on any person that had anything to do with the murder of his family. Not only was looking for the ones that killed his family, he was looking to clean up crime in New York City as a whole. Over the course of his journey, he ran into Daredevil. After this, Castle was arrested and sentenced to life in prison despite the effort from Murdock and Nelson. With the help of Wilson Fisk, Castle was freed and discovered that Ray Schoonover was responsible for his family’s death.
