One of my favorite comic characters, when the writers portray his story accurately.

Frank Castle "punishes" the bad-guys for the evil they do, which usually sets him up against gangs, the mob, or terrorists. What I hate is when a liberal writer sends him out to track down a corrupt politician (always a Republican) who is taking money from the needy, forcing himself on his beautiful, blond, brainless secretary, or consorting with the Forces of Evil.

Holy SHI!!

This guy has skills and needs to be in another line of work. Whatever he is making, its not enough.

I wonder what would have been the story line had he been armed.

[put that guy on a recruiting poster]

Amen, Brother! I thought the same thing. He might even make a good Mastercard commercial....

Weekly Salary at the local Choke and Puke....$400

Weekly savings by walking to and from work...$50

One shotgun, one handgun and a van full of thugs...$300

One well trained marine, one pocket knife and 5 armed muggers....Priceless!

Per AP/NYT version, the girl was 17, and there were 4, not 5 perps.

Four, plus the driver (wisely held by the judge, also), right?

This guy brought a knife to a gunfight -- and won.

Yes? And your point is...?
