It goes without saying that The Punisher, aka Frank Castle, is one of Marvel Comics’ most (in)famous superheroes and one of the most controversial fictional characters in history. The Punisher’s one-man war on crime drew both support from fans and intense criticism from detractors ever since his debut in 1973. Neither will subside any time soon.Due in part to his grounded appeal and relative realism, it’s easy for even The Punisher’s biggest fans to forget that he’s embraced the Marvel Universe’s many superhero clichés. Case in point, even excluding his variants in other mediums like movies or video games, The Punisher has countless variants in his comics. Both to his benefit and detriment, The Punisher’s character and story can be retold time and time again.That being said, The Punisher wasn’t always an independent vigilante who worked outside the law and with the heroes’ begrudging permission. Frank has been in comics for around 50 years, and he changed quite a lot. This applies to everything from how he was originally envisioned by his creators, to how his variants brought him up to speed with the times with varying success.
