History[]
Born in Queens, New York, Frank Castle left behind his wife Maria and unborn daughter to enlist in the Marines, quickly rising through the ranks and serving four years in the Vietnam War. While on leave, Frank, Maria and their two children went to Central Park - where they accidentally witnessed a mob killing. The mobsters, fearing that the Castles would testify against them, killed Maria and the children in cold blood, but they didn't manage to kill Frank. Frank attempted to testify, but the Police denied him, as they were deeply connected with the mafia. Taking the law to his own hands, Frank abandoned the Marines and used his training to avenge his family and kill as many criminals as he can, becoming the dangerous vigilante, the Punisher.
