How Strong is The Punisher / Frank Castle | Marvel Comics |How Strong Series

[@hollow-point8690]

He’s still kinda crazy in the Netflix series. The fact that he could have a shootout with five or six guys and drop them before they could get their guns out is insane! And the fact that he’s beaten daredevil and can shoot Spider-Man is insane. I knew he was good but I’m honestly still learning about him. I’ve read a few series of his. But haven’t read much of the older punisher comics so I’m unaware of a lot of his feats still. But great video!

[@IvaNTheUnStoppable]

Yeah he's a super soldier tier basically without actually taking super soldier serum lol

[@alexferrana3979]

Indeed. In comics Punisher even fought against Captain America at least twice.

Agree. Such villains like Joker, Scarecrow or Cornelius Stirk deserve to be killed, because they are deranged psychos and murderers, and prisons or asylum is useless because they always escape from this. And can't be redeemed.

[@jlxddgamerjason4041]

agreed!

[@alexferrana3979]

Yeah. I like Batman, but Punisher is my favourite. And in my opinion, Batman is too overrated and has done too much outlier as a feats. And his "prep time" now is more like a meme.

[@magicrealms2824]

Punisher is a insane character for sure. I feel like the netflix series showed some feats that comic book Punisher did. Such as his high pain toletance and his physical condition and him getting the upperhand on Daredevil in Season 2 However I dont think they showed enough of Punishers crazy strength feats he has done

[@alexferrana3979]

Indeed. In comics he has knocked out bull with a wooden plank, broke free from leather restraints in hospital just after waking up, tossed around police officers when he was near-death (straight-up after his family was shot my mafia and Punisher was heavily injured), tear apart steel chain with handcuffs and even broke free from a special handcuffs which was used by Captain America (Cap was shocked how Punisher was able to do that). Also, according to Marvel Fandom Wikia, Punisher can lift up about 550 lbs and he is also stronger than Black Widow (by her own words).

[@prestonarchibald3818]

I love when he punched a poler bear in the face that shit was hilarious😆

[@IvaNTheUnStoppable]

Strong AF

[@alexferrana3979]

That was because Frank wanted to use this bear as a weapon against mafia. It's a good showing for his intelliect and skills. Punisher's intelliect is pretty underrated thing in modern comics, though even Tony Stark himself admitted Frank's intelliectual ability.

I love Frank Castle. First comicbook I ever read was the Punisher. I liked the netflix series. You have to realize, on screen they have to tone him down to make it more realistic. You can see it with daredevil too. They show him getting tired as he fights etc.

[@IvaNTheUnStoppable]

Apparently. But still, fighting against mutant with a 100+ years of experience and martial arts skills plus with an adamantium claws and skeleton and healing factor is still impressive, especially for a non-superhuman (peak human) character like Punisher. And about Daken - Punisher was exhausted, already has a slashing and stabbings wounds, shot through the leg and then broken it, than Daken attacked him, but Punisher was able to flee for a while and next he was surrounded by Osborn's goons. And then Daken has attacked Punisher on the roof, but Punisher still held his own until death. That was really bloody and impressive.
