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.
The character will debut on March 18 in season two of the Netflixâs original series, âDaredevil.â He is set in sharp contrast to the showâs protagonist. Daredevil is another Marvel vigilante, who unlike the Punisher, beats criminals to a pulp instead of just shooting them in the face. The Punisherâs appeal to both the military community and civilians may have as much to do with his background as his approach to problems.
