Who Is DC Comics's Deathwish? The Punisher Who Hunts Sex Criminals?

[@bushidoblvck_]

Deathwish was the most complex villain of the Dakotaverse in my opinion. I hope we get to see more of him if Milestone comes back.

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

I hope so. You don't see many characters like him around. He had more depth than most characters you see today

[@Frosty_tortuga]

Was he a villain or anti hero

[@_Dee2nd]

Chief Murky I’d say Anti-Hero

[@_Dee2nd]

Bushido Black Ayeee wassup Bushido, fancy running into you here

[@tonyweeks851]

Chapel !!!! One of my favorites. Excellent honest and courageous monologue. Blerd you get deeper everytime I listen. I see you've found a way to use your love of geekdom to get people to think. Further than the fictional. Thanks dont stop!

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

Thank you, Tony! I'm always trying to use the platform to help get people thinking. A lot of good comics out there were trying to tell us something and sometimes we miss it.

[@thewanderingronin5433]

Holy shit....that was one of the most twisted origin stories I've ever heard of. I mean that would utterly ruin any sane human being but I guess it drove him beyond insane but in a good way. Now I'm curious as to what would happen if this comic was adapted for the metoo era

[@_Dee2nd]

Great video! Deathwish was such a tragic character & his mini-series was fantastic. Can’t wait to see him & Marisa again!

[@mr.brooks6106]

That's quite an origin. I'd be surprised if anyone didnt suffer some sort of PTSD and disassociate afterwards

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

Oh yeah. This guy literally experienced an arguably worse origin than even the Punisher. And somehow survived that shit

[@mr.brooks6106]

@@BlerdWithoutFear I would definitely put this as worse than Punisher's. The level of helplessness he had to have felt before being further victimized.....wow. I think this character would a fascinating watch in a live action adaptation

[@MrQdiddy85]

In order for deathwish to end up in a major superhero motion picture a lot of things are gonna have to go horribly wrong. And not just with the Warner Brothers executives but like the entire motion picture industry 10:35 say what you want about Spartacus it gave us 29 episodes of Lucy Lawless pushing the boundaries of “softcore” 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Frosty_tortuga]

Deathwish has anger and let’s be honest he is crazy. Crazy angry people have great strength.

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

Oh no doubt. He's not someone I'd wanna arm wrestle

[@alltheworldsastage4785]

Aye, Blerd! Haven't heard or seen of you in a hot minute! Great video.

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

Yo whats good!!!! Yeah man I had to start doing my comments differently because there were so many I couldn't answer all of them. How you been?!?

[@alltheworldsastage4785]

@@BlerdWithoutFear Yeah, I know how it is, it's all good, and I've been good, brother, just taking life one day at a time, you know how it is. Rollin' with life's punches, hope things have been good on your end, though?

[@GUTSSOZEs]

So comics like DEATHWISH of MILESTONE is like THE WALKING DEAD but without the ZOMBIES,brutal...man DC is dark yo.

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

Pretty much. This guy was literally getting Negan'd before Negan was ever a thing

[@kojakblak1]

Straight up, that origin had me thinking of that Jamie Foxx movie Law Abiding Citizen. Great vid Blerd.

[@keefkourage6992]

But worse, God so much worse 😮

[@AKINGof3]

Deathwish character was essentially the alter-ego of Adam Blaustein aka Mattie Blaustein...get it!

[@levarwilcox1736]

Ogf'21 😢😮😢

[@vernonhampton5863]

Milestone not being "inclusive"?! Man, I've put people on to Deathwish too. By far one of the darkest origins in comics.

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

Hell yeah! Anytime someone tries to tell me Milestone didn't have white characters I'm always like "Let me sit you down and teach you about Deathwish..."

[@_Dee2nd]

Blerd Without Fear Donner, Boogieman and the list goes on. Hate when people think Milestone was only black.

[@vernonhampton5863]

Milestone was better than er deserved back when it came out. The comics were truly for everyone. Also, Boogiman had an interesting interaction with the team. They weren't mad when they found out he was white, they were upset that he lied, and yes he they made the king of the rats interesting.

[@_Dee2nd]

Vernon Hampton Which was a great scene & showed the Syndicate’s character, Wise specifically.

[@MrQdiddy85]

Can we all agree that someone who was working on this character in particular his origin was definitely working through some dark ass shit

[@jackieanderson9408]

I personally can't watch anything with sexual assault in it. Thanks for the heads up.

[@wanirvin01]

You just gained a subscriber from flint Michigan 💯

[@IAmDifferentWorld]

Wow, this guy is nuts! Thanks for doing the video BWF!

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

Dude, Deathwish is absolutely certifiable lol

[@IAmDifferentWorld]

@@BlerdWithoutFear well i guess we can say hes "Fucking Crazy" lol

[@choppacal4899]

Bruce Willis has a movie called "Death Wish" inspired by this comic.

[@metatronblack]

He's like a Hardcore Punisher

[@rell127]

Not all heroes wear capes. 💁🏾‍♂️

[@MrQdiddy85]

3:15 JESUS HAWTHORN CHRIST?!? I know that Deathwish is milestone’s Punisher but they didn’t have to go that “hard” on the tragic origin story like even for the 90’s obsession with having the most xtreme, most edgy, most badass Porto Chads

[@darnelljefferson8617]

Interesting character; would love to see a Deathwish-Punisher team up

[@jdtroup198683]

It could work

[@BIGDAWG91331]

Dc version of the punisher

[@jayhemp00]

I always loved Deathwish. Dude has the most awful origin story ever! His 4 part was incredible, really showed how deep his character was.

[@daemonblackfyre3238]

Welp.. Imma head out. 🏃 🏃(I dropped a like for you.)

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

That origin is heavy as fuck, but I do appreciate that Like, playa 😁

[@Steppin2theAM]

I can’t see how this character is not inspired by the 74 movie of the same name and with a similar home invasion scenario

[@Kingpopoff62]

That intro bang 🔥🔥🔥

[@lexbryant4564]

His an interesting character would be cool if we get more of him In comics

[@SomeBaldDude]

Respect Blerd but if your going to Talk about Milestone... Then I CHALLENGE YOU TO TALK ABOUT OMEGA7, ORIGINAL MAN, AND MIGHTY ACE... Ania Too... Please Blerd Without Fear... YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE... 😢

[@derekmason1881]

Right. ANIA never seems to get any love and recognition. And they were the true black Indies that did it without a big corporate sponsor. Purge, Zwanna Son of Zulu, Ebony Warrior, and Heru

[@SomeBaldDude]

@@derekmason1881 Shout Out to Blerd For NOT EVEN TRYING... I almost forgot I even asked LOL

[@SomeBaldDude]

@@derekmason1881 Where did you find more info?

[@derekmason1881]

I ordered the comics from MileHghcomics.com back in the early 2000's and I'm friend's with Roosevelt Pitt, creator of Purge , on Facebook

[@steveempiremantra2120]

Which stories should I read I wanna read this

[@unknowninfinium4353]

Blerd, could you please please please please please cover Deathstroke Re-birth? I am no expert on comics and deathstroke is one of my favourite characters, Christopher Priest is amazing with the series. No other comic channel covered Deathatroke properly. Hate to ask so much but hope it's in your radar (pun intended, blerd without fear ;) )

[@TheSeeohbewhy]

Great work

[@lilwamey4725]

Looks like bane

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

Vaguely. They literally came out within months of each other

[@Hoopergames]

I know I said something about the intro last video but not having it is making me uncomfortable lmao Edit: okay much better lol

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

I got you. I decided to move it around here and there just to keep things fresh lol

[@TheRealReVeLaTioN]

You sure know how to direct interest to characters a reader is unaware of! Great Video (as usual)! Oh and here's the song i was talking about... It was supposed to be Halloween themed but others seem not to be able to follow my short couple of verses. I can't remember the name of the 1st guy rapping but I'm on the 2nd & 3rd verse (plus ad-libs). I would really appreciate if you can let me know wherever there's a mistake in my references. I don't have a studio and i simply recorded my vocals on my phone. I recorded it after watching a couple of your house of flex and powers of X videos so i couldn't stop myself from using blerd metaphors. www.bandlab.com/posts/42ab9d9f-3ff8-e911-b5e9-2818789a0161

[@coopforilla4000]

Yeah I bought this when it came out. Milestone was like that though.

[@antgto]

Oh wow, well here we go. Strap in for this one folks, Deathwish has some fucked up mess going on.

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

Deathwish is probably the most messed up character I've ever read. He wasn't even in Milestone for long and he messed my head up lol

[@antgto]

@@BlerdWithoutFear Man, you ain't lying. I still can't believe that origin was published. Legit through me off something fierce.

[@2123lotto]

I’ve been reading Berserk nothing more harsh than that comic

[@AvengCalifornication]

Cool character want to see him in the dcu

[@Troygraham4937]

Is DC and marvel every asked why aren't there more ethnic characters?

[@kpopfan246]

Almost all the time and they either never deliver, do it half-ass, or they do it right, but barley use their creations as much as their White counterparts.

[@DreamStepper]

Because Marvel and DC suck at making new characters and have been coasting on the same heroes for several decades now.

[@liveanddieinchicagoliveand7074]

Naomi and jaime reeyes , Miles morales ,duke thomas

[@kpopfan246]

LiveAndDieInChicago LiveAndDieInChicago When is the last time they use Duke? I’m not trying to be a smartass or anything, I’m really curious. It’s just that since the New 52 he (and maybe Cassandra) have been damn near non-existent.

[@robinlue2008]

Here's a thing to keep in mind. The ones who run DC and marvel are not your people. They will do what's in the interest of money and their people have the money. We need to do for ourselves. McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Michael Davis etc. Took their own destinies into their own hands instead of comolaining and created milestone comics. Imagine if more brothers had their genius, did what they did by learning from their pitfalls and mistakes. I'm pretty sure your statement wouldn't exist because you'd be too busy enjoying superheroes with your image and likeness. It'd be nice for milestone to come back though (without looking like DC's ignored step child).

[@troycrawford3569]

We love deathwish yeah because he is awesome and the best and the greatest and amazing and all ways wicked!!!!!.

[@Troygraham4937]

Why did milestone need white characters?

[@robinlue2008]

Politics. Business move etc.

[@BlerdWithoutFear]

Honestly? To reflect the world they lived in. McDuffie wanted everyone to be represented. He didn't care what color they were. Hell, they had a lot of white characters and people still complained there were not "enough"

[@jeremiahmorris1852]

Milestone was more realistic than the big two of DC and Marvel when it came to race

[@TubezThe1]

To reflect the world around it. They just aren't out in the forefront
