Duelist · Francis David "Frank" Castle (born Castiglione)

The Punisher

Caught in the crossfire of a mob hit that killed his family, Frank Castle clung to life through sheer force of will and his unquenchable thirst for vengeance. Unwilling to let more innocents suffer at the hands of criminals, Castle took the law into his own hands as the Punisher.

Thanks to an experimental serum that vastly extended his lifespan, the Punisher’s war has continued into the far-flung future. As a member of the New Marvel Knights, his impressive arsenal has become a vital part of Black Widow’s crusade against Doom 2099.
