Frank Castle was a decorated Marine Corps officerwho served his country above and beyond thecall of duty in time of war. He returned from battleto the arms of his wife and children, only to havethem stolen away in a brutal act of random, savageviolence.

Now, all Frank Castle has is his desire forvengeance, and his need to punish the wicked.

That is his mission.

That is his purpose.

That is all that matters.

Frank Castle died with his family.

Now, simply, he isThe Punisher.
