Punisher

⭐ Key Issues

Civil War (2006) #1

The opening issue of Marvel's landmark Civil War event by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. The Superhuman Registration Act divides the Marvel Universe as Captain America and Iron Man lead opposing sides in a conflict that reshapes Marvel continuity for years. One of the best-selling Marvel events ever published.

Punisher, born Frank Castle, is a one-man war on crime. A former Marine whose wife and children were murdered by the mob after witnessing a gangland execution, Frank Castle declared war on all criminals and has prosecuted it ever since with military weapons and zero mercy. Unlike conventional superheroes, the Punisher kills — making him a uniquely moral problem for the Marvel Universe and one of its most compelling vigilante figures.
