Castles first tour was with fourth platoon, kilo company, third battalion of the twenty-sixth marine regiment were he served as a second lieutenant in his first position of command in January of at Khe Sanh Combat Base on Hill while he still had no combat experience himself. Castle quickly won over the men by showing he wanted to learn how to do his job and that he would listen Punisher Max: Frank them regardless of rank Punisher Max: Frank that he wasn't afraid to act when others wouldn't, to bed the rules, that he didn't hesitate and had good instincts.

A group of green berets took their frustrations with other marines who had failed them and civilians out on Castle's men, he ordered their Sergeant to control his men and calmed him down just by looking him in the eyes and making it clear he would if the sergeant didn't.

During these events Fury was greatly impressed with Castle's skills and recommended he be made a Captain and suspected Castle of being the one Punisher Max: Frank slit the throats of the CIA men behind the heroin trafficking. Throughout his military service Castle stayed on the front lines through Punisher Max: Frank death of his mother Louisa and the birth of his son Frank Jr. It was on his third and final Punisher Max: Frank in that he witnessed what some considered the most pivotal Punisher Max: Frank in his life. As the Captain of a small unit of Marines at Firebase Valley Forge in late October ofhe was renowned for never losing any men in combat. This occurred in two cases, the first of which was General Padden who he had killed Punisher Max: Frank order to prevent the closure of the Firebase. Frank killed him by drowning him in a nearby lake. Frank himself killed the sniper as she was being raped, which some men regarded as better than taking her captive since she Punisher Max: Frank died a slow death as a prisoner. A voice continuously spoke to Frank, offering the chance to fight an eternal war, and also told him that there would be a price. In the midst of a major thunderstorm, Firebase Valley Forge was assaulted by a large combined force of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. The voice grew Punisher Max: Frank to the point where Frank could hear it perfectly clear over the roar of the fighting and the screaming of the thunderstorm. As his men Punisher Max: Frank fell around him, Frank finally said yes to the voice's offer. A while after the bombardment, American troops landed on the ruins of Valley Forge and were astonished to find Frank as the sole survivor, severely wounded Punisher Max: Frank otherwise unfazed. When Frank arrived home, he met his family Punisher Max: Frank the airport only to be confronted by the voice one last time as he Punisher Max: Frank to talk about the price. Just as this was said, Frank saw a skull-shaped reticule around his family. After the events of Valley Forge Castle was placed in a military hospital before returning home where a deranged man in love with war told Castle that they were the same, that the only Punisher Max: Frank Castle had was war and that he was scared to return home because deep down he knew he wasn't a Punisher Max: Frank man and that he'd spend his days hoping his wife would leave him to give him an excuse to go back. The man later made an escape attempt after getting loose from his bonds and killing a doctor and nurse, he offered to allow Castle to come with Punisher Max: Frank but before Castle could make his decision a military police officer shot the man dead. After returning home Castle was plagued by an unending sense of boredom and apathy, a friend of his fathers Punisher Max: Frank him work at a meatpacking plant while Castle sleep walked through his life. During this time his wife cried herself to sleep from loneliness due to his distance and his daughter believed that he would ultimately still return to Vietnam. The first time Castle felt joy Punisher Max: Frank his arrival back home was when he saw the bully Punisher Max: Frank of the plant owner get his arm trapped in a meat grinder when he was sexually harassing a woman, Castle was stood next to emergency shut off but chose not to Punisher Max: Frank it, instead walking Punisher Max: Frank to leave the man to be 'punished' for his actions. Castle remained distant Punisher Max: Frank his wife who continued to believe that he was going to go back to war despite telling her that he was home for good. The man who lost a hand in the meat grinder had to have it replaced with a hook and returned to work the very next day to kill the woman who shoved him into it by impaling her on a meat Punisher Max: Frank and leaving her body there to hang. Castle blamed himself for not stopping the man sooner or more permanently and planned on killing the man with a meat cleaver but stopped himself at the last moment, wanting to believe he wasn't that man anymore. Castle quit his job and began washing dishes at a bar instead where he would hear mobsters talking about their business which he tried to ignore. When three hitmen were going to hit the bar Castle decided to take care of them not wanting any innocent patrons to die and took the men down without killing them. The mobster offered Castle a job working for him but he turned it down, telling him he wasn't looking for trouble.

Punisher Max: Frank headbutted one of the men who threatened his wife but the mobster allowed him to leave. Maria saw the blood and worried that Castle was harming himself. When Castle saw that the mobster had left men outside his home he called him and agreed to do the job but requested weaponry first. They procured a sniper rifle for Castle who planned on using it to kill the mobster and all of his men while they were gathered waiting to hear back from Castle who had told them he would be killing Drago that night. Castle hesitated, unsure of his actions, which Punisher Max: Frank when Fury again approached him, telling him he wasn't going to stop trying to recruit him and that he would keep his family safe which he demonstrated by having his men take out the mobster and all his men.

However, this was a ploy in seeking to finally kill his family's murderers who Punisher Max: Frank Fury had identified for him shortly after the death of his family [26] including Francesco Dragowho were imprisoned there during a prison riot he incited.

The few remaining criminals were then killed when the boat blew, having been rigged to explode rather than containing money.

Nick wanted to recruit Castle for an operation Punisher Max: Frank Russia being run by a group of Generals which Castle agreed to get involved in. A dangerous bio-weapon had been created in the form of a flesh eating virus codenamed Barbarossa by a scientist named Evgeny Stenkov.

Over assorted continuity reboots at Marvel the Punisher has remained relatively unscathed, his origin much as it has been since his earliest appearances. Vietnam vet Castle Punisher Max: Frank home and was having a picnic in Central Park with his family who were killed when caught in a gangster crossfire. That was Punisher Max: Frank he started his war on crime. However, what if it was the stint in Vietnam that changed him and he was never going to settle down back home? Is that the truth? It certainly seems to be the truth Jason Aaron and Steve Dillons are presenting for this alternate Castle, cutting the present day scenes of Frank thinking Punisher Max: Frank over in jail with scenes from the past immediately after his return from Vietnam. Would being confronted with the truth really crumble the Punisher in seconds? Even with this alternate universe Punisher. Aaron and Dillon end their collaboration with Homeless.

Punisher: Frank Castle Max Vol 1 () | Marvel Database | Fandom Over the past 11 issues, Jason Aaron and Steve Dillon have put the Punisher into action against a pair of familiar foes by introducing Marvel MAX versions of the Kingpin and Bullseye, and in the next issue, they're touching on another situation readers might recognize from clasisc Punisher stories: Frank Castle goes to prison. But this time, things are a little different. Every other time we've seen the Punisher in prison, he's gone in of his own volition in order to take out a criminal on the Punisher Max: Frank. This time, though, he's Punisher Max: Frank brought in after a brutal fight involving sledgehammers, hacksaws, nail guns and more that's left him critically injured both physically and -- believe it or not -- emotionally. Check out our exclusive four-page preview with commentaryand a look at Punisher Max: Frank Johnson's amazing cover! I don't think it's Punisher Max: Frank things one bit to say that Punisher MAX -- a more violent, adult-oriented take on the character than the one running around the mainstream Marvel Universe --is one of the best comics coming out today. Jason Aaron had the completely unenviable task of taking over the character shortly after Garth Ennis's character-defining eight year run with the Punisher, and even though he's collaborating with veteran Punisher artist Steve Dillon, who relaunched the book alongside Ennis inthose are big shoes to fill. But not only have Aaron and Dillon succeeded in filling them, they've managed to take things to an entirely different level. If there's one thing that defined Ennis's run, it was that he made Frank Castle less of a character and more of a force of nature. His stories were often less about the Punisher than about the villains, illustrating the bad guys in lavish, horrific detail and making the audience hate them for what they'd done before Frank Castle himself showed up to mete out death. It wasn't just a catharsis for the reader, but a necessary step in justifying him as a character, showing us people the way he sees them, and why they needed to die. For his first two stories, Aaron followed Punisher Max: Frank same path, chronicling Wilson Fisk's rise to his position as the Kingpin of Crime and the depths of complete psychotic madness that Bullseye sank to in order to be an even more efficient Punisher Max: Frank than the Punisher. Recently, however, there's been a change. It's not just that the Punisher's in prison. Like "the Punisher fights Kingpin," it's not exactly a new idea, and in fact, it's the most old school that you can get with the character. Frank's in prison on the first page of his very first series:. As a quick aside, I just want to say that as a guy who has read every Punisher comic, I love stories about the Punisher in prison. Everyone involved seems to understand what a terrible idea it is to take a guy who only wants to kill criminals and put him in a big room full of criminals, and it's always pretty thrilling. Ed Brubaker did an amazing job with the idea in the pages of Daredevil when Matt Murdock went to Punisher Max: Frank and the Punisher essentially got himself arrested just so that he'd have some backup. It leads to a great scene where a riot Punisher Max: Frank out, and even though Daredevil, the Owl, Bullseye and the Kingpin are all in prison, the Warden's first reaction is " Where's Castle?! So yeah, it's a situation that we've seen before, but again, Aaron is putting a new spin on things. Punisher Max: Frank not just that he's been brutally injured -- you may notice that his Punisher Max: Frank pinky still appears to be missing after Bullseye chopped it off with an axe in 11 -- or even that he was Punisher Max: Frank into prison unconscious and beaten rather than walking in with the intention of killing a crook on the inside. The difference comes from the fact that in the last issue, Bullseye, true to his name, found out the one way to hurt the Punisher the way that no one else has been able to do for ten years: emotionally, in the part of Frank Castle that he himself thought was dead and buried along with his family years ago. At the end of 11, he's suddenly no longer the unstoppable force of nature that is the Punisher. He's Frank Castle again, with Dillon drawing him for what I think is the first time with genuine, wide-eyed shock instead of his usual Dredd-esque frown. Aaron isn't just sending the Punisher to jail with a thousand people who want nothing more than to see him dead. After eleven issues telling Punisher Max: Frank called "Kingpin" and "Bullseye," he's kicking off a whole new story. And this one's called "Frank. Categories: MarvelPreviews. Back To Top.
