Character Overview: Wiki Entry
In his early life he studied to be a catholic priest but changed his mind when he found he could not forgive those who do evil in the world. Later he married Maria and enlisted in the USMC. Maria was pregnant with their first child when he started his first tour.
Castle excelled in the USMC. He went through the USMC's Reconnaissance, Force Reconnaissance and Sniper Schools. Attaining dockets, Castle was permitted to go through U.S. Army Airborne School and U.S. Navy Underwater Demolition Team training, becoming qualified as a Navy SEAL. While still in training, Castle met Phan Bighawk, a Native American scout. He was assigned to be Castle's guide, and through Phan, he learned how to survive in the wilderness.
Castle went on to do three tours in Vietnam. During his second tour he gained the nick-name of Punisher. During his third and final tour he was the only survivor(on both sides) after an assault on Valley Forge Firebase in late 1971. For heroism in the line of duty, he was decorated with the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, the Silver Star 3 times, Bronze Star, the Purple Heart 4 times, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
In all Castle served four years in Vietnam 1968-1971.
In 1976, he, his wife, and his two children(Frank Jr. and Lisa) went to central park for a picnic. They unwittingly stumbled upon a Mafia execution. To eliminate all witnesses, the Mafia turned their guns on the Castle family in a bloody massacre. Only Frank survived the carnage. While Frank was able to identify all of the shooters no action was taken on the part of the police due to the deeply rooted corruption and control put forth by the Costa Crime Family. Unable to find justice through normal means he went outside the law to follow 'natural justice.'


Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family.

Sometimes the law is helpless to act, even when it identifies the guilty. It follows therefore, that sometimes it is necessary to act outside the law, to shame its inadequacy, to pursue natural justice.
I am not talking about vengeance. Vengeance is not a valid motive. It is an emotional response, no better than the act that provoked it.

I'm talking about punishment.

When I do my job, it gets done. No screw-ups, no errors, no mistakes.
