They laugh at the law. The rich ones who buy it and twist it to their whims. The other ones, who have nothing to lose, who don't care about themselves, or other people. All the ones who think they're above the law, or outside it, or beyond it. They know all the law is good for is to keep good people in line. And they all laugh. They laugh at the law. But they don't laugh at me.
~ The Punisher

I leave this as a declaration of intent, so no one will be confused. One: "Si vis pacem, para bellum." Latin. Boot Camp Sergeant made us recite it like a prayer. "Si vis pacem, para bellum - If you want peace, prepare for war. Two: Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family. Three: in certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue... natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment."
~ The Punisher in the 2004 movie

Those who do evil to others - the killers, the rapists, psychos, sadists - you will come to know me well. Frank Castle is dead. Call me The Punisher.
~ The Punisher in the 2004 movie

Para bellum. Si vis pacem, para bellum. Every dawn, the boot camp sergeant made them recite it, like a prayer. A litany. A declaration. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

I've no idea how things will end up. Chances are, I won't be around to explain myself later. So I'm making this journal, starting here, as a declaration of intent, so that no one will be in any doubt. Point one: Frank Castle is dead. However, the message has yet to reach his body, and so it continues to twitch. Who can say what it might do before it stops moving? Point two: Sometimes the law is helpless to act, even when it identifies the guilty. It follows therefore, that sometimes it is necessary to act outside the law, to shame its inadequacy, to pursue a natural justice. I'm not talking about vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive. It's a tawdry, emotional response no better than the act that provokes it. I'm talking about... punishment. Point three: I am up to the task. When I do my job, it gets done. No screw-ups, no errors, no mistakes. Point four: Consider this motto, 'Si vis pacem, para bellum.' 'If you want peace, prepare for war.''

~ Frank Castle, The Punisher: Year One

They hated that old man so much they shot him through my family. The world went crazy on a summer's day in Central Park, In the time before UZIs and Berettas, before nine millimeter popguns ruled the streets. It was a Thompson, like the ones our fathers carried, and I recognized its rattle even as its big, man-stopping forty-fives punched blood and breath from my lungs. I hit the ground besides my daughter. She's been gutshot, badly, and when she saw the things that boiled and wriggled from her belly the expression on her face was not a little girl's. My wife bled out later on the operating table, her heart a gaping hole her life drained through. Whenever I get careless, that yearning in her eyes creeps up and brings me to my knees. Right then the old man's soldiers started shooting back. My son dropped wordlessly, without a mark on him. I took a breath that cut like glass, spat blood, rose to my knees, picked up the boy and searched in vain for entry wounds. The bullet had entered through his open mouth. That was our picnic in the park. And now every night I go out and make the world sane.
~ Frank Castle, The Punisher #1, "In the Beginning"

History[]

Born in Queens, New York, Frank Castle serving four years in the Vietnam War, Castle's life was changed forever after his family was gunned down by mobsters. He dedicated his life to using his skills as a Marine to wage war against the criminal underworld. But this crusade would have him getting through entanglements with Daredevil, Spider-Man and many other Marvel heroes who do not approve of his quest to avenge his family by killing criminals. To the Punisher, they are still scum that innocence in society suffers, unworthy of any redemption regardless of what crime they do, and as a result, each criminal that crosses the Punisher are expected to meet gruesome fates, some worse than death. But the Punisher has since extended this crusade to not only just petty criminals, he has gone after Italian Mafiosos, Russian Bratvas, Mexican drug cartels, Irish Mobs, Chinese Triads, Japanese Yakuza and even Jamaican Yardees. No crime family is safe from the Punisher's wrath.
