The Punisher is one of Marvel’s most violent and misanthropic characters, with his dour world view and vengeful mission making him the definition of an antihero. This has gained him a lot of contention in both the Marvel Universe and real life, which is likely why Marvel is now replacing the classic version of the character. Unfortunately, said change feels fairly unnecessary given how it’s being handled.Frank Castle’s replacement is a man named Joe Garrison, who’s being introduced as the new Punisher. There are a lot of similarities between the two Punishers, including their names. Thus, it’s questionable as to why a new Punisher was introduced at all if he’s almost entirely the same as the previous (and better known) version. In the most recent Punisher series, Frank Castle took on an entirely different mission as a member of The Hand. This led to him doing away with firearms and the iconic skull T-shirt, which were both a major part of the criticism surrounding the character. Now, it appears that the story of Frank Castle is over, and a new Punisher has taken his place. This is Joe Garrison, who has a backstory that involves his being a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent whose family was killed by corrupt government entities. Therein lies the reason why he begins his new, more personal mission. However, this change in direction is so insular that it’s unlikely Garrison will have the same long-term objective as Frank Castle. Sadly, this potential lack of drive to further combat the criminal element is ironically one of the few differences between the two versions of the Punisher.
