Frank Castle served his country by joining the US Marine Corps and fighting terrorism overseas following 9/11, shipping out to Afghanistan to battle Al-Qaeda and its allies. Much of what he did in Afghanistan is classified and not known to the public, and Frank never spoke much about what went on while he was over there. But tragedy soon struck when he returned home, as his wife and children were killed in a shoot-out between rival gangs. Frank himself suffered injuries in the shooting, but did not die.
Despite an intense police investigation to find and prosecute those responsible, Frank watched as the gang members got off with little more than a slap on the wrist, due to apparent ties to organized crime. It was then that a mournful and angry Frank Castle decided that if the justice system wouldn't punish criminals, then he would.
And Frank Castle dropped off the face of the Earth, his accounts empty, the brownstone he'd lived in with his family abandoned.
But now there's a man dressed in full black body-armor, emblazoned with a fearsome white skull, stalking the streets, waging a one-man war on crime, calling himself "The Punisher"...
