Talk:Punisher vs. Red Hood/@comment-5035900-20170125090756

I've wanted this for a long time and while I don't know nearly enough about either of them to claim who would be the definitive victor, I do believe that there is a good argument for Jason Todd winning this.

And no, it's not "TRAINING WITH BATMAN!"

His training and expertise goes beyond what he had learned in his time as Robin, as after his death, he sought out to master as much as he could across the globe like his former mentor had. While Frank has learned various martial arts and his years as a marine onward make him far more than a soldier, his skills rarely go beyond mowing down criminals.

As for the argument that "Red Hood's prone to rage, which Punisher could use against him", I disagree. Red Hood has taken the effort to discipline himself and control his temper, allowing him to remain calculating and strategic. While I wouldn't call Punisher rage-filled, I do believe the Red Hood has better mental stability.

All that aside, physicality-wise, Red Hood has some clear advantages in agility, mobility, martial arts, and age. His acrobatics and grapple will make him a very difficult target to hit, firearm or melee-wise, his combat prowess has allowed him to hold his ground against Batman even if it hasn't bested it, and being considerably younger than Punisher could mean he would last longer in a prolonged duel.

But I could be wrong. Punisher does have the advantage in long range weaponry, armor (if barely), and experience, and it could be argued that Frank's pain tolerance could outlast Jason's strikes. All I can say is either way, this would be one brutal Death Battle to watch... just the way they love to work.
