Frank Castle, known more commonly as The Punisher, is one of popular culture's most iconic and enduring anti-heroes. Becoming a savage one-man army of the highest order following the brutal murder of his family, the grizzled Castle is renowned as one of the most violent and ruthless figures in Marvel lore. Judge, jury, and executioner to anybody unfortunate enough to stand in his way, the uncompromising Punisher is as notorious for his abject lack of mercy as he is for his instantly recognizable foreboding skull motif.
