Punisher

Punisher "The Punisher" is one of Marvel's more violent comics characters but has seen the big screen three times with little to no box office success. First in 1989 with Dolph Lundgren, next in 2004 with Thomas Jane, and then in 2008 with Ray Stevenson. The comics storyline tells of Frank Castle, a former Special Forces operative, who witnesses his family murdered by the mob. With unparalleled intensity and an arsenal of weapons Castle seeks to "punish" criminals wherever he finds them.
