For those of you who are not familiar with the character, the Punisher debuted in a Marvel comic book series in the 1970s. Heâs a real bad-ass who rights wrongs, delivering vigilante justice. A movie by the same name had just come out; the Punisher wore a shirt with a stylized white skull.
Option 1: The Punisher is a Hero. One can argue that the Punisher is a hero because of the good he does in the world. Many Marvel heroes avoid killing criminals out of a sense of goodness and mercy, yet these criminals will often return to bring back as much havoc as they did before.
